For all you Sandman or Crossover fans out there:
Drusilla. Delirium. Tea Party.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm so not a slasher, but I've started writing McNulty meeting Mal(Ok, so it's a dream sequence, but I shouldn't take bunnies from strangers.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For all I know, this is old hat, but it's the first I've seen Kirk/Spock Closer vid. God, I love it. The use of out of context!

Ah, that's Killa and T. Jonesy's vid. It's fantastic. And, yeah, out of context--I think the sepia really makes it.

A friend to whom I'm merely introducing the idea of fic, etc, sent it to me. It creeped him out, but it kept him rapt. As it did me. The sepia, the transmission artifacts, the blurring of focus...yeah, just love.

That is what they call a Constructed Reality vid--it's the first one I ever saw, that does more than just shift the focus onto something, but actually tells a completely different story than canon. Impressive as hell.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, my god, that was PERFECT.

I think they're my favourite sort. Ones that tell or embellish canon are cool, as well as those that illustrate a character.
But the CR ones impress me the most, when well done.

I saw this vid a couple years ago and it really grabbed me then, and recently I rewatched it and man, does it still have that power to it. I think this vid is a perfect example of the mutability of source material in telling a new story using the same clips. And besides that, it's just one of the most skillfully done vids I've ever seen because of how the material is arranged to tell a completely different story than what it was initially.

Wow.
There was a cute one I downloaded from headtilt.com some years back (which seems to be no more) which threw a whole new interpretation on Buffy, Willow, and Warren. Still, I don't think I've seen many of those.
