Hee - thank you for the rec! :-)

I've tried to show vids to nonfans, and ... well, haven't had very much luck. And I'm pretty closeted about my vidding, so there aren't a whole lot of people I can experiment on, sadly. But I hope your dad likes the vids - this is an awesome collection.

You're quite welcome! It's absolutely my favourite Merlin vid to date, because yes, Merlin is so the Californian AU of Arthurian legend, or something. :D

It's a tricky one, I won't deny! My general policy appears to be having friends at my mercy and then *making* them watch at least half an hour of vids. It's a popular method I can assure you. *g*

And it's funny you say that about closeted vidding, for some reason I don't mind people seeing that. Probably because there's no direct way they can trace it back to my journal.

ACK! I think I just fell of my chair. I can't believe Boulevard is so up there for you and your dad, lol. Thank you so much for the shout out and the rec. Epic heartponies to you! <33333

Oh, seriously, Boulevard remains my FAVOURITE EVER. And I've had two or three occasions of showing it to Who fans who've never watched a vid before and then watching their jaws drop open. IT'S GREAT.

Eee! Epic heartponies to you and to your AMAZING icons!

I know, right? Almost too much win to be contained by 100 pixels!

Also, hee, I am very enamoured of these heartponies you speak of. :D

I have no idea what your dad will thing, but <3 space_cadet December 16 2008, 01:14:32 UTC

1. I had to go back and hunt down the Handlebars video. I got chills and teared up, not going to lie.

2. Boulevard of Broken songs was...fanfuckingtastic. I really loved the editing. Fit the song and the show perfectly.

3. Face of God: Pretty good, though now that I've been introduced to the idea I think someone could make a really shit-kicking one.

5. Meet the Doctor: I giggled through at least the first thirty seconds of it. I don't think I've watched anything quite like it before.

6. Shine: So-so :)

7. OMG!: I... don't like Lily Allen and the video was okay.

9. Destiny Calling: Pretty good, I like the idea of all the superheroes.

10. Run For Your Life: HOLY CRAP. Awesome. I have no idea what fandom that is but it was great.

11. Beverly Hills: I actually really want to try that show out now. COUGH COUGH, BBC AMERICA, COUGH FRIGGIN COUGH. I swear to god they are a year behind and then wonder why they lose money. They aired Doctor Who when it was finally out on DVD. *is pained ( ... )

Oh awesome, your reactions are really interesting! And aww, I hope your dad enjoyed them as well.

That really sucks, BBC America, boo! I do highly recommend both Merlin and Ashes to Ashes - the latter is the sequel to the more widely-watched Life on Mars, and both series are brilliant.
