I clicked the link to the Willow vid, because duh, and found that her Angelfire site has been temporarily suspended.

I'm assuming that's a good thing.

Well -- all it means is that the site is over bandwidth. The vids are still there, just not accessible at the moment.

I haven't heard from her yet, so I don't know whether she understands that this is a problem or what she's going to do about it.

Optimism vibes welcome.

As you may already know, I've bitched in public about it, and I've emailed her.

Lum and I have copies; we can get you one if you want to see. It's ... fascinating, really.

I just sent an email. This is sad and depressing - I suggest another round of VVC carols to cheer us all up!

a snippet of what I sent:
...I understand being inspired by here's luck's work. I love "Come On" and it inspired me to do things with movement and editing that I never would have thought of otherwise. Thoughts of the interwoven battle scenes were fresh on my mind recently while making a Queer as Folk vid - I love how she has the movement from one scene carry over into the next frame - as if all of Buffy and Faith's fights were connected somehow - just as she uses the lyrics to underscore the point that they are in fact connected to each other and Faith just wants Buffy to admit it and feels betrayed upon Buffy's denials. "Come On is stunning. But "inspiration" is where it stops. That video was an obvious labor of love. Taking from it was not cool. Please remove that video from your site, along with any other videos that might contain footage from other fanmade videos...I am too nice sometimes. Luckily I'm still an elitist ( ... )

I *heart* you and the rest of my cabal.

Have you gotten a reply? I hear her replies are entertaining, in an urge-to-strangle sort of way.

crickets chirping is all I hear. I think perhaps that the email I sent was to long and verbose. I drowned her in words. Perhaps she is still reading it?

Possibly. Or, you know, maybe she's just deleting all email from unknown persons. Maybe you made her cry. Maybe she feels that her puppy has been kicked!
