Attack of the multi-fandom random
Does anyone else sometimes feel that posting to LJ is like talking to yourself in an empty room?
You know what makes me crazy? When I hear a song I recognize in a TV show or commercial, and I know that I first heard it in a vid, but I can't remember which vid. It's like that time I said to killabeez, "This is a great song, it sounds like something you would vid," and she gave me the side-eye and said, "Um, I did." Heh.
Speaking of vids, every so often barkley and I make a vid that I love so much, I would totally be watching it fannishly/obsessively if someone else made it. This year, we have made such a vid for Club Vivid. I HEART IT. \o/ (No, it is not Merlin.)
Also speaking of vids, I triumphed with the winning bids for two vidders in the VVC auction, and those vidders are obsessive24 and jetpack_monkey, who are very different in style and approach to source. And I am SO SO EXCITED to see the vids they are going to make. Words cannot even capture my many feelings.
On the topic of Merlin, I have finally made progress on one of my paperlegends options. I'm at about 7,000 words, but I hate all the words, and must keep going so that I don't delete them. I'm still on the fence about this story. I'm giving myself until May 10 to see if I can get 20K of story that I don't hate, and if that doesn't happen, I'll switch to the other.
Meanwhile: I have become somewhat fannish about James Bond and his quartermaster. They have moved into the second bedroom, while Merlin and Arthur camp out in the living room. Also, I reblog a great deal of multi-fannish stuff on Tumblr these days. If you aren't there, here is a short random sampling of it.
- This adorable James Bond/Q chibi, and this freaking hot as hell James Bond/Q art, and this explicit, NSFW and gorgeous Bond/Q art. (Oh, hey, have one more while I'm at it.)
- This pretty art by Alex Tooth, and this post too, which reminds me of art someone I know draws, from time to time.
- This bit of meta about Dean and Charlie, which made me glad I didn't see the original posts whining and complaining, and only saw the response, which I agreed with. (Complimented by a post full of Dean and Charlie hugging.)
- Zachary Quinto inviting all the boys to his yard while kicking the heteronormative reporter in the teeth, more gently than she deserved if you ask me.
- Karl Urban and Chris Pine standing still and being hot together
- Gifs of a deleted scene from Merlin WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN where Arthur gestured to Merlin to sit at his right hand at the round table. I CANNOT EVEN COPE WITH MY FEELINGS ON THIS TOPIC. Why did they cut it?? WHY DID IT NOT APPEAR ON THE DVDS???
- This gorgeous, cleaned-up still of Agron and Nasir kissing. Holy mother of god. NSFW.
- And finally, this Game of Thrones picset, which made me laugh out loud. Spoilers for the most recent eps.
