Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Getting away from the RPS thing... did anyone else buy the Vividcon DVDs? I got mine a couple of days ago, and I'm just utterly enthralled. The Buffyverse vids, I've mostly seen before from online sources, but watching them on your TV screen hooked up to a decent stereo, compared to watching them on a wee window on your computer are two different things.
I have never seriously wanted to write fanfic (I've tried my hands at it casually maybe once, that's it.) but these vids are really making me wish I had the skill and time and patience to learn how to vid.
I did, Vonnie, but they haven't arrived yet. (Grr.) I'm giving it a couple more days, then writing to let them know they never arrived.
I'm a little worried that they arrived over the weekend when I was gone and got stolen from in front of my door. Of course, I just had Fed Ex say I don't exist and refuse to deliver airplane tickets to me, so who knows...
I'm going to a VividCon party in a couple of weeks! Very excited.
Reema's CD arrived. She's busy taunting me for not ordering it.
did anyone else buy the Vividcon DVDs?
Well, yes, but then again, I was at VividCon, so...
Heh. Envy me.

I did not even know they existed. Is there someplace I could order them from, or am I out of luck?

Yep yep yep. Plei and I had a long talk about it once; I confessed that all the fanfic urges I've had were some sort of songfics, and she told me that was because I'm actually a vidder at heart. She's right.
Well, yes, but then again, I was at VividCon, so...
Dude. I hate you.

OK. Reading the con reports was almost like actually being there. Still, watching "Haunted" and "Uninvited" for the first time? Getting to see "Peacekeeper" on a big-ass projection screen? (uh, maybe it was a regular TV screen, but it would have been more envy-worthy if it was a projection screen, so in my imagination, it was.) Watching folks bursting out weeping during "Beautitudes"? Color me green. Maybe I should try to go to the one next year, wallflower tendencies be damned.

I've ordered my H:LotS S3 DVDs and Farscape S2 set like, a month ago. Apparently, they were shipped almost 3 weeks ago from DeepDiscountDVDs (granted, via the cheap & slow free-delivery option) but have yet to arrive. I am really, really worried that they have been stolen, since the pacels which do not require signatures are usually just left on a big communal table on the lobby of my building. I should have stuck with amazon with their UPS packaging & tracking system, and just paid a little more. Damn.
Katie, if your set doesn't arrive & you can get yourself to someone who can copy DVDs, I'll be happy to lend you mine.
Thanks. I may take you up on that if it comes to it.
Beatitudes didn't do as much for me as I expected it to after the fantastic reviews it got, unfortunately. Her Xander and Willow character vids blew me away, though. Wow. (Er, not that they're on said DVD, because I assume they're not.)
Big screens do matter, don't they? One of my most fondly-remembered fannish experiences was Hush on the big screen at the TV museum (yeah, there's some long name for it that I'm not going to look up) in NYC. Of course, I was sitting next to a big Riley fan at the time, which added to the entertainment value. ("Wow. He's... big.")
Does anybody in the New England area have/is getting the Vividcon DVD? I only heard about it starting a few days ago -- if I'd known that it existed I would have ordered....
Er, not that they're on said DVD, because I assume they're not.
If you're talking about "Transparent" and ...uhm, blocking on the name of Laura S.'s Xander vid..., no they are not on the set. Actually, "Beautitudes" is not on the set either. I liked it a lot (probably more than you did), but I thought sisabet's "Peacekeeper" was a much richer vid thematically.
But her DueSouth vid, "Wonder of Birds", is on the set, and *that* my friend, is one fantastic piece of work.
Jill, unfortunately, the Vividcon organizers are no longer taking orders, but they have said it would be fine if folks made copies for their friends using DVD burners as long as it is not done for profit.
