Comm Pimpage!  
Hey F-listers and general public! 

Today I come bearing possibly the most curious and intriguing thing I've ever come across on LiveJournal.  It's a community for Whedon fans (creator of Buffy, Angel, Firely and Dollhouse) where the members apply to join one of four teams that compete with each other to earn points through various tasks (I am currenly completing the first with this pimp! :D).


Come over and take a look! 


And here is their FAQ/Rules post: CLICK ME!

Vid #10!!! I'm sooo heppe! BSG - All These Lives  
And it's a collab with [info]scifi_tv_addict  so you know it can't suck! ^_~


THE BACKGROUND: Stef and I have been working on this vid for a few months now I guess (or rather, she worked, I procrastinated, and then we both worked).  It's just a song that...I mean when you hear it (and have an unhealthy obsession with BSG), the sparks just fly between it and the canon ending for the Agathons and the Galactica crew, the lead-up to the final showdown between the humans and cylons.  And yes, it's a canon-vid! :P Thought we'd branch out this time. ^_~

THE POINT: This vid (a collaboration with Stef) is about the events of the last four episodes of Battlestar Galactica as they affected the Agathon family, the Cylons, and the crew of the Galactica.

THE RED-TAPE: Spoilers for the last four episodes of Battlestar Galactica!  The awesome banner was of course made by [info]scifi_tv_addict .

My thoughts/rants on: Dollhouse  
The season (and possibly, series) finale of Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse aired last night so I thought I'd pen down what I thought of the new (and, in my mind, exciting) series.

**SPOILERS AHEAD...not huge but still spoilers...semi-big***

( Dollhouse )

What did you guys think of this show?

Review: 17 Again, Bride Wars  
So I'm finally somewhat settled in my new place, even the spiders came out to help *shudder* Thankfully they've retreated to wherever they hide :P  Amidst that settling, I've been watching a few movies I'd been meaning to, namely 17 Again and Bride Wars.  Here are my thoughts on both, which surprised even me :P

New crack!vid: "Welcome To The Family" - Ba'al/Adria, Team SG-1 (incl. Jonas)  
Spring cleaning = awesome.  You can really tell the difference when your harddrive has shed those unwanted winter megabytes.

THE BACKGROUND: This vid has been in the works since...well around the time I started Concrete Angel!  I seem to have been on a slight "Adria" kick, which is odd because she's never been one of my favourite characters :P

THE POINT: Jonas, as a concerned older brother, takes his sister's (Adria's) new beau (soon to be husband via shotgun-wedding) aside to warn him about their rather eccentric family.  Meanwhile, the aforementioned family (armed and vengeful) are looking to keep Ba'al away from their Adria.  This is really a team vid disguised as a Ba'al/Adria ship vid (*pets my crack!ship*). 

Featuring:
- Brother: Jonas
- Grampa: Gen. Landry
- Uncle Bill: Teal'c
- Cousin Jesse: Cam
- Mama: Vala
- Daddy: Daniel
- Jonas's Niece, Red: Sam

THE RED-TAPE: I don't own the show, the music, the nuthin'.  Not even the idea because I first saw an attempt to vid this song in the Harry Potter fandom. :P  And my good friend [info]scifi_tv_addict has been my faithful beta all along this vid's miniscule steps forward and major steps back.  She's also the one who saved my vid from a horrific Gab-attempted banner and produced the one you see below!

Without further ado, I present: "Welcome to the Family", or "WTF" for short. ^_~

NOTE: For some reason, neither FileFront or DivShare streamed my vid this time so I only have the YouTube link to offer for streaming.  I also tried at 4Shared but it didn't stream there either.  If someone has problems viewing it on YouTube, let me know and I'll try to find another option.

Collab Vid - "My Life Would Suck Without You" - (Daniel/Vala)  

THE BACKGROUND: For some time now, my good friend [info]scifi_tv_addict (Stef) and I have entertained the idea of collaborating together on a music video. However, after a rather botched first attempt at a vid together (which I still believe might one day be revived :P), we kind of put that notion on hold. Until, that is, Stef found a song practically written for Daniel and Vala that brought us back together for a second try. And I am pleased to say that after only a couple of months and a couple more near-nervous breakdowns, we have succeeded in combining our efforts to create a collab vid!!

THE POINT: This is an upbeat vid with very minor AU's, chronicling Daniel and Vala's relationship and how, despite their differences and spats, they both know life would suck without the other.

THE RED TAPE: We own neither the Stargate SG-1 series, nor the Daniel and Vala characters. The music is "Life Would Suck Without You" sung by Kelly Clarkson. We aren't profiting from this vid in any way, not even emotionally, so suing us wouldn't be very nice. ;) And finally, the banner, collab logo, vid logo, and credits were created by my very talented collaborator [info]scifi_tv_addict !

BSG Vid - "Riot Girl" - Kara, Lee/Kara  
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything of consequence, I know.  But you won't be disappointed this time (unless you really don't like BSG, Kara, or L/K :P).

(minor *spoilers* for the finale in "THE BACKGROUND" only)

THE BACKGROUND: Having watched the BSG finale where everything I expected would happen, did (to my A/R shippy heart's dismay), I went on a little bout of grief!vidding.  And since A/R was still too raw for me to manipulate, I decided to work on an upbeat, let-out-your-frustrations Kara vid I'd been bouncing around in my head for some time.  Three days later, it's done...seriously!  Now since my previous record for starting/completing a vid is roughly a month, I can only say that grief is quite the stimulant, and grief!vidding is surprisingly very efficient.  Expect 1-2 SG-1 vids to be published soon.

THE POINT: Here is an upbeat, sometimes comical vid showcasing Kara's penchant for violence, with her accomplice Lee making an appearance throughout. 

THE RED TAPE: Consider yourself warned I'm drawing material from all across the series.  There are about 3 clips from the Finale but they aren't major and aren't spoilers to the actual plot.  Also, I own nothing remotely related to the characters, the plot, anything to do with BSG.  I'm not making any money from this; I'm actually losing potential income slaving my days away vidding.  I expect a cheque RDM! ^_~

THE STEF: This vid is dedicated to her and to all other L/K fans (don't feel too special, I just needed a reason to justify making an L/K vid ^_~).  She is also the one who made this kickass banner for me, Thanks!!

Pissed off? Yeah, us too ^_~  
Hey f-listers!  As you may or may not have heard, Vala is not being written into the third Stargate SG-1 movie.  Some of us had few words about that and this is the result ^_~





Soon to come: petitions, email addresses, the works ^_~

Vid - "Kings of Wishful Thinkings" - D/V, C/S, C/D friendship  


Here is another lighthearted, peppy kind of vid (don't worry, no AU plot, more like HSNE :P) about Cam and Daniel trying to go through life without Sam and Vala. ^_~  For those still with us at the end, there's a surprise alternate ending ^_~  Many thanks to [info]scifi_tv_addict for her stalwart beta-ing!

"You Found Me" (Daniel/Vala) - New vid + 1st banner!  
I almost forgot to post my latest vid to my own LJ!   This vid was made for [info]ichinisa  through the DeVilish Christmas Exchange, which can be found here [info]dv_exchange .

GENRE: AU, romance, adventure, team
PROMPT USED: Song by Kelly Clarkson ("You Found Me")
RATING: PG-13/T
WARNINGS/SPOILERS: Spoilers for all episodes and AoT, some Tomin/Vala but it really only makes you like the DeVilish stuff all the more ^_~

Vala has lived in Ver Isca her whole life but has never been a devout believer. When her position in the underground puts her life in danger, Daniel abandons his cover to save her and together they start a new life.

This simple and slightly ugly banner was one of my first attempt at that thing known as "visual arts" with which I have a mutually disagreeable relationship :P  But I'm kinda proud of it ^_^ It's not pretty by any means but it's functional and took me 3 hours to do so I might as well be proud of it, eh? ^_~   And the logo you'll see in the vid was created by my good and completely talented friend, Chris!  Shoukran, habibi! ^_^

Fiction: Master List  
This master list was inspired by the one[info]hariboo_smirks posted to keep track of her amazing fics. Now I don't have even a third of the amount of fics she has but I thought it would be a good idea anyway, I figure it can help those who are looking for a specific fic without having to go through a bajillion tags. So, on with it! ^_^

Two vids in three days!?!? She must be on a roll!  
But I'm really not :P  I just had both nearly done and it took the approaching deadline of the Stargate Fan Music Video Award nominations to kick me in the butt and finish them.

This one is completely AU (as you'll come to find most of my vids are :P).  It all started when[info]scifi_tv_addict  and I decided that we would make complementary "Cam/Sam in mourning" vids.  Well, in what I recall was less than a week, she popped out the beautiful, moving, heart-wrenching vid of Cam trying to go on after Sam's passing.  You can find it at HERE, it's called Porcelain Heart and honestly it'll just blow you away.

So, I picked a song, "Standing in the Rain" by Superchic(k), and I knew that my vid would be about Sam mourning the loss of her Cam.  And beyond that?  Absolutely nothing.  For the life of me, I spent WEEKS listening to the song on a constant loop and nothing came to me.  Finally I had to resort to piecing it together by what I knew I could manip but there still wasn't a coherent idea until Verse 2 was put together, then it started (slowly) falling into place :P

So here it is, the product of months-long vidder's block ^_~  The Summary is below if you're interested but it should be fairly easy to follow. ^_^ Major spoilers for AoT, minor for Continuum!

The banner was made by  the very generous [info]scifi_tv_addict who was also my fabulous beta!

 


PLEASE READ BEFORE WATCHING:

Summary: Cam is fatally wounded in his fight with the Replicator and despite Dr. Lam’s best efforts, he dies, leaving his wife, Sam, and their daughter, Cassie, behind. Sam memories of him and her need to take care of their daughter keep her going but after his funeral, she slips. Thankfully she pulls through and gets back on the mission roster early, despite Dr. Fraiser’s concerns, and when the Krull Warrior starts hunting her off-world, she knows she has to fight back - to survive - for her daughter, and slowly, she begins to rebuild her life.

My vid is FINALLY completed!!! Only took a year ^_~  
Heeeey everyone!  For anyone who has me on their Friend's list thingy, no...this is not an appartion, it is indeed a POST! ^_^ 


I started this vid, I believe, sometime late November 2007...so it's taken me about a week shy of a YEAR to finish this project!!! And people say I have no focus :P ...Although if I *did* have focus this might have been out months ago...no matter ^_~ It's done now!!  It's set to the song High School Never Ends by Bowling for Soup and I KNOW it's been done to death but please give it a shot, I think you'll find it has some unique traits ^_^  I tried to be very balanced but some characters do have more screentime than others.  That's not because I don't like those characters that have less, it's simply because they didn't fit enough lyrics or the pattern, or I just wasn't familiar enough with their clips (and when that was teh case I went to people who did for help) ^_~ So nobody can say I didn't try :P 

I would like to give MAJOR props to [info]scifi_tv_addict  (aka Stef) who has been my beta pretty much from day 1...yes, I've dragged her along for the entire year :P And if that wasn't bad enough, I actually had to restart quite a few times so she has seen probably around 100 versions of this vid, I kid you not :P BUT, she has been awesome throughout, giving great advice and great encouragement and she even made me this crack!tastic banner to use!  

So...if you're still with us...on to the vid! ^_^

Title: A Gift from Above

SPOILERS: HUGE SPOILERS FOR DOMINION!!

Summary: Something went wrong and they’ve paid for it.

Author’s Note: Okay, no beta for this chapter since it was written on a deadline for my good friend Nat who’s getting ready for a very big trip. Because of this, this fic was written in one session, between the hours of 3am and 7am and undoubtedly contains many typoes I missed in my tired editing. I’m really sorry about them in advance, I’ll fix and repost when I’m more lucid. For now, enjoy. :)

Disclaimer: I own the plot, unoriginal as it may be Don’t own the characters.

Vid - Daniel/Vala - Borrowed Time  

Okay, I've finally completed a Daniel/Vala vid!!

This vid was made for [info]natalia5345 's amazing fic Turn Out The Light which you can find at FF.net or on her LJ.  The basic summary is that Vala begins to remember the events of the fifty years spent on the Odyssey after Unending.  Hopefully the vid stands on its own enough but I HIGHLY recommend reading the fic it was made for!

Most of the beta'ing for this vid was done by [info]natalia5345  and [info]scifi_tv_addict , the latter of whom made this beautiful banner as well!  Thanks so much to both of you for everything! ^_^

My day, my neighbourhood, holy crap...  
This is possibly the one and only post not pertaining to my fics/vids that I'll ever post here.  I was going to put it in a reply on the GW Daniel/Vala thread but then I thought it was too long...and probably way inappropriate :P

So here it is, the narrative tale of one of the creepiest (and most hilarious) days of my life...



*Warning* Some content of my day is probably definitely unsuitable for minors.  Reader discretion is advised.
