Shiny Fandom
For the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to update my fic and vid recs, which means diving into other peoples' creative minds. The quality work in the SPN fandom never ceases to amaze me, nor does the amout of thought and effort that go into writing some of these fics and videos.
After a year or so of no SPN vids,
astartexx just published a new video. I liked it so much that I didn't want to wait and post it with the rest of my updated recs. If (like me) you're missing the unsaturated color from S1/S2 and feeling a little out of sorts with S3 Dean, this video is your cure. The use of color/non-color is beautifully done and the song choice is different and interesting. If you're interested in the "production notes" go here.
Another one of my favorite admire-from-afar vidders,
sockkpuppett a.k.a. luminosity, and her vids are featured in this New York Magazine article. Being that I know virtually nothing about the vidding community, I found it quite interesting. It just goes to prove that there's yet another aspect of this fandom thing waiting to suck me in. :)
