Did you also read BGF's original? both versions are hysterical. the last line of the longer version? OMG.
I love the bike comparisons.
Comlodge gets the credit for tickling my brain.
BTW - it's good to see you again! *hugs* You haven't been over here in a while I think? The convo threads for my last two posts have been insanely fun. How are you doing?
I'm putting off writing the last few chapters of that AH, which means I'm looking for distractions. And good fic, cracktastic or otherwise, is always such a pleasant distraction. :)

RL getting in the way or muse has up and left you temporarily? (Or beta-abandonment, which is pretty serious too.) Or just bored with the story? (I get bored with a story I'm writing the minute I know how it's going to end, as if my brain mentally closed the cover and walked away.)

Isn't it though? I've actually not be reading as much fanfic lately but have been gorging*cough* I mean enjoying *ahem* fan videos.
I don't know if you'd consider it a "pleasant distraction" (more deliciously heartbreakingly angsty) but have you read Snowpuppies' AU Who are You fic for the Big Damn Love Fest? http://snowpuppies.dreamwidth.org/319848.html
If you're watching AftertheBattle vids over and over, then I totally get where you're coming from. :)
I can't do angst right now, because that's the part I'm stuck on. The requisite angst that comes right before HEA. I think I already read that one though.
What I said - your Muse is NOT doing his/her duty, flighty thing.

YEEESSSS. I discovered Afterthebattle a few weeks ago; she(?) and nvrbnkisst (Spuffy Productions) are two of my favorite vidders and the ones I go back to most frequently.
Yes, Spuffy Productions is great too. I can watch Sail by AtB on repeat for hours. It is the perfect Anthem for Spike. I love Radioactive too. And of course all the ones featuring Spike nekkidness. :) And somebody, can't remember who, made a Spike vid set to 'You Can Call Me Al' by Paul Simon. Which you'd think wouldn't work, but it really does.
HEA is a romance industry term - the Happily Ever After. :)
I love vidders who are talented editors - that is central to vidding after all, but the ability to match images not just to lyrics but to the mood and rhythm of the music is hard to find IMO. (I'm probably a snob on that account because I started learning film editing in college and considered taking that up as a career, but the switch to digital vs film; which is much more tangible and precise - and also, I almost had seizures twice in front of video editing docs because the pixel become like little strobe lights.) Also how much I like the song has a lot to do with it of course; I tend to prefer vids with music I wasn't familiar with previously (and hence no prior baggage on my part), and then I tend not to prefer ones set to really "hard" rock songs because they also tend to have very very fast edits that are hard on my eyes (and seizure disorder). The "Radioactive" one you mention is the best vid I've seen that uses that song, though
