Five Random Recs

Dec 15, 2016 13:00

My now-regular Thursday feature! (We'll see how long this lasts. ;-p)

1. For some reason I'd been feeling a bit down the last couple of days, but you know what is always at least a little bit cheering at such moments? Multi-era Doctor Who fanvids. I was cheering myself with Marching On by xxdrosexx and then wondering why I didn't have any yet ( Read more... )

Yes, I go looking for good DW fanvids, too. I love "Marching On," but know it was done by someone who gave up on DW, which makes me sigh and roll my eyes. (It seems the person hates both Moffat and whatever way Capaldi reminds her of a guy she was involved with, who dumped her. Great.)

I like your rec there, but, alas, have seen it before, which I can tell because I liked it at some point. I wish there were many more multi-Doctor fanvids that included #12. If I had vid-making skills, I'd do some myself. Alas, no...

It's tricky these days now things aren't helpfully posted to the comms! It's easy to find specific vids, because they'll be tagged by pairing or character (Twelve!) or whatever, but a general DW tribute? I can find quite a few, some others I like, but too many of the trailer-ish type with all the quotes, where I prefer a proper fan songvid! :-)

(And, aww, but it's a lovely vid, full of heart. Someone having left fandom doesn't change that in the slightest. Lots of people have left the fandom; most of them didn't leave a lovely vid like that behind them! And it included everyone up to the date it was made; I ask for no more.)

Vid-making skills are not hard! Battling with the tech is harder, but vidding itself? Actually quite easy. Just move the clips up and down the timeline and watch the result!

OOh, very nice fanvids, thanks for the links!

Thanks also for the rec. :) And I will second the rec of Side Quest, which amusingly has the exact same characters as my fic, but is very different, and also one of the best Harry Sullivan fics I have ever read.

:-D

It seems to have been a bit of a Four-Sarah-Harry fic-fest, because the first fic posted was Sarah and Harry, too. Or one of the first ones, anyway. They should rename it that! (This is definitely not me complaining, either!)

dbskyler December 16 2016, 17:34:04 UTC

Yes, I was laughing at that, too! It's kind of awesome, actually.

I am also loving all the Sarah fics in the ficathon. Especially after I was worrying it would be all New Who.

That was a good fanvid, thanks for the link! I love multi-Doctor fanvids.

lost_spook December 16 2016, 10:04:52 UTC

Thanks! Me, too. From time to time fandom makes me wonder why I bother; a good multi-era fanvid is always the perfect cure for that. :-)

I love your recs!! Hope it stays a regular thing!

*HUGS*

lost_spook December 16 2016, 10:05:29 UTC

Aw, thanks! Probably! Until I run out of recs, anyway. :-) (And don't worry, I have a couple 1000 other bookmarks as yet, heh.)

That fanvid is great. I know there were some great ones around the 50th anniversary with all the eras in, but that leaves out the Twelfth Doctor. So I am glad to know there is one that includes him (and that it's a good fanvid).

lost_spook December 17 2016, 14:35:27 UTC

I knew there had to be one! And there were a couple others I found, too, but that one was definitely the best I've unearthed so far. :-)
