I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Er. Okay. This isn't about fanfic, but this seemed like the wisest place to ask for help.

Any pointers to places to go where the Explanation Of Why Presenting Songvids To Actors Is A Bad Idea is nicely summarized? It's second-hand, and frankly I'm not going to search out the people in question (some sort of a best-vid contest apparently) to scold them because I'm not that proactive, but a newish vidder on my friendslist mentioned it in an approving tone and I want to do a little, er, gentle education.

This is has links to why Debchan took down her vids because they a vcd was made and handed to Nathan Fillon.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I asked earlier in Buffy, but it's for a fic, so I'll try here.

Buffy comments that the scythe kills things 3 ways. I've got axe and stake. Any thoughts on the 3rd?

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

It shoots fire?

Thanks, askye. That was the incident I was thinking of.

Katie--your welcome. I don't understand why people think it's okay to go up and hand actors slash fic or RPS fic or ask them to hold anti twinscest signs while the fans take their pictures.

That's just WRONG.

Yeah. Well, in this case it's just one vid, and it's in Stargate, so frankly I wouldn't be that worried - I can't think of any incidents with TPTB and copyright for that show. Still, I felt like I'd be falling down in my Duty To The Fannish Community if I didn't point out that some folks think that's a really, really bad idea.

(It's kind of dorky to feel like I have a Duty To The Fannish Community, isn't it? Oh well.)

Frankly I'm sure that most of the actors on genre shows who want to know can, by this point. It's not like the existence of fanfic or slash is a secret, and actors can work google just like the rest of us. It just seems, you know, unwise to wave it in their faces.
