Feb. 8th, 2010 03:25 pmAs soon as I see the words "Holmes/Watson rentboy!fic," I have to drop everything to read it.
Read this immediately.

I Will Follow, T:SCC, about Savannah's relationship with John Henry. Adorable, and fascinating to see their relationship distilled down like this.

halfamoon.
Vid title: Glass Coffin
Song: Blinding by Florence and the Machine
Fandom: VR.5
Summary: To sleep no more.
Sizes: 41 MB (560 x 420 .wmv), 10 MB (400 x 300 .wmv)
Length: 2:14
Download from Sendspace: The large .wmv file is here and the small .wmv file is here.
( Embedded under the cut )
Website: Monsters from the Vids
Thanks so much to
halcyon_shift and
lcsbanana for beta-ing.
Notes: VR.5 ran briefly on the Fox network in 1995. Thirteen episodes were produced; only ten aired in the original run although the remaining three eventually aired on SyFy. The show starred Lori Singer as Sydney Bloom, a computer geek who discovers that the virtual reality computer system she has built enables her to enter other people's unconscious minds.
Unfortunately, VR.5 is not available on commercial DVD; hence the fuzziness in the vid.
( More tl;dr about this show and why it is Made of Awesome )

But as per Supernatural's wont....
Feb. 3rd, 2010 05:52 pm...I'm sure the character will be handled with grace and sensitivity.
Sigh.

savetheproject is a fandom auction to benefit the The Virginia Avenue Project, a free afterschool arts and academics program. 100% of participating children graduate from high school. 90% go on to college. 85% are the first person in their family to go.Due to budget cuts, unless we can raise $15,000 by mid-March, we will lose our centerpiece program, the One-on-Ones. In this program, professional actor/writers write a short play to act in with the kid they're paired with, rehearse it with them in a beautiful countryside summer camp, and then return to Los Angeles to put on a show. This program has been running continuously for 20 years - let's not lose it now!
Please help save the One-on-Ones by spreading the word, bidding at the auction, and/or offering something for people to bid on. Click on the "offered" or "seller" tags on the right-hand side of the page to see who's got an auction up and what people are offering.
So remember when I said I kind of wanted to make a vid about this obscure character
Feb. 3rd, 2010 02:45 pmbut I had only a so-so song?
Of course, now I found a scarily perfect song - which is also easily trimmable down to a manageable vidlet-esque length - so now I desperately want to vid this character, even if it can't get done by the end of
halfamoon.
*facepalm*
Problem is, no commercial DVDs, which means my source is pretty awful... but you can make out that there are people? On the screen? Which is ... something?

that I never know whether to say "congratulations" when, say, an RPF story gets tweeted by its subject and ends up linked on Boing Boing.
Stop me before I kill again
Feb. 2nd, 2010 01:33 pmSo,
halfamoon is now running. It's a 2-week tribute to female characters in fandom, and I kind of have an urge to make a vid about one of my favorite female characters from one of my favorite obscure-prematurely-canceled-not-even-av ailable-on-commercial-DVD shows, and all I have is a song that will do as good as any although it's not necessarily perfect, and not even much of a concept beyond "Pretty! Cool!!!"
I really have to exercise some restraint.
