evil is powerful and cunning

[jebbypal]

deathisyourart has some sort of special power. That's about the only explanation I have for the fact that she doesn't even hint at things, but just mentions them, and I sign up. I swear, between her and lithium_doll, I am nothing but a helpless minion.

Wait, don't go, there is a point to this post

farscape vidders: I know you are on my flist. I stalk you heartily.

Here's the deal, I agreed to sign up next month to do reviews and recs for farscape for the_reel. Which, recs aren't actually a problem except for tracking down links for the two discs worth of vids I have burned since my last computer ...incident. *knocks on wood*

However, currently, there are no Farscape vids submitted to be reviewed. So, if you'd like to have concrit on your vid rather than me saying "ben browder is pretty and I like the song so go and download it" (I jest, my recs will be a bit better than that, but they won't be full reviews), go and submit your vid for review.. deathisyourart has changed things so that imeem and youtube vids are allowable now to submit for reviews (just no yousendit/megaupload links allowed).

ETA --- also, Death is really looking for folks to participate for Veronica Mars and Lost fandoms. Come on, two live fandoms like that shouldn't be so...empty of vids at the reel.

And you pimp for my community too!!!!

I think I have found the hardworking minion I have always wanted! *clings* I knew that I should have gone for someone in some sort of science degree... is it September yet, I want to be back in school?! :(

[jebbypal]

Yes, well, I'm probably losing my axis of evil cred by being such a soft touch :P

And the trick is to find people more interested in fandom than they are in their work...which yeah, pretty much describes most scientists.

[deathisyourart.livejournal.com]

Exactly! We know that they are hardworking, can actually produce on a deadline -- even if they only start working 15 minutes before the deadline -- and will want to do anything that doesn't involve a lab report until you mention the word "essay".

Also, there is already a new Farscape vid for you to review. ^_~

[jebbypal]

yep, so kazbaby said. :)

And actually, I'm the atypical scientist. I like essays, i hate benchwork. heck, i went to the science nerd high school because they'd let me take more english and history than my regular school.

of course, this didn't stop me from being stupid and possibly majoring in something other than science in college. :P

[deathisyourart.livejournal.com]

I LOVE doing research, give me a library and some coffee and I am good for weeks. However, the moment I actually have to structure and write an essay I want to slit my wrist -- the anxiety is just that bad. I don't think linearly, I think in circles, so I could easily talk an argument out and do it conversation style, but essays are far too linear for me. The connections make sense in my head if I can come at them from angels other than head on.

I have a science and art background, I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination. Visuals or chemicals that go boom; words and I are un-mixy!

[jebbypal]

btw, since i am your favorite person, don't let anyone sign up for farscape for march :):) I don't want half my recs to disappear in a poof of smoke :)

[deathisyourart.livejournal.com]

*closes March*

Although I don't think that that would have been a problem since everyone seems to be either in the middle of school hell or vid-farr.

[jebbypal]

Huh....lj seems to have decided to not have given me a bunch of replies yesterday. Bad lj.

*yay*

[kazbaby]

*mumbles about how you're an evil enabler*

Submitted a video for review. It was hard to choooooose.

[jebbypal]

well, dang, that's probably one vid down on my rec list. :) LOL.

[kazbaby]

I had a nice little convo with myself over it.

Me#1: Pick Avastark!
Me#2: No...pick the Unchained Melody one. It's romantic and has lots of pretty explosions.
Me#1: No! Do the Linkin Park one. *gives self 'the look.'* Wait, I already picked Avastark.
Me#2: Well damn.

Yes, I'm a doofus at times.

[jebbypal]

LOL, it's okay. this one will be a challenge to review. Plus, i think it's some of your best work yet. It's amazing how well you stuck to keeping all the cuts on beat and everything. this must have taken FOREVER to render.

[kazbaby]

Plus, i think it's some of your best work yet.

*blushes* Thank you.

this must have taken FOREVER to render.

I actually don't think it was that bad compared to others like the Scorpius/John one which took a couple hours each time I rendered it.

[jebbypal]

I think I used the wrong term when I said render.

I meant, it must have taken forever to time all the clips to the drum beats and such. :)

I tend to redefine terms in my head :)

[jebbypal]

hee, plus you should know me -- i live on ANGST.in my fic and my vids. the romance would have been wasted on me.

[kazbaby]

It's the finale shootout in LGM3 set to Unchained Melody, so yeah...You'd still get your fill of angst. ;)

[jebbypal]

Well, it's farscape, so the angst potential is high:):)

:)

[birgitm.livejournal.com]

if you'd like to have concrit on your vid

That sounds like one of the most breathlessly terrifying things I've ever heard.

Seriously.

And I've heard a lot of terrifying things.

[jebbypal]

Terrifying? But I'm ever so nice and all that:) LOL.

Trust me, it's generally more terrifying on the reviewers end of it, at least in terms of vids I think. Like watching the movie your worst enemy directed and going "umm, I can't show how stupid I am by not getting the premise of this right...aaaauuuugh". :)

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

I panicked and posted my last FS vid (that wasn't a 30 second short) up

[jebbypal]

Panicked? what incited panic?

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

In trying to choose from the hundred billion FS vids I've made *g* I went with the last one on the grounds concrit would be more relevant, less reviewer-abuse *g*

[jebbypal]

Reviewer abuse????

*falls over on ground laughing ass off*

Babe, even the crack vids you've made of robin hood and mutant x are far from reviewer abuse. Perhaps there's some discards on a harddrive somewhere that almost might qualify, but as someone who's betaed for you, I find it difficult to believe.

*continues to laugh maniacally*

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Hidden on a hard drive? Oh heavens no, I flaunt my follies *g* Except for that one time (http://www.alter-idem.com/vids/draft.zip). That, I never put out. I like to think it will balance my karma in some small way.

Then again, if you can forgive the MX vid ...

[jebbypal]

Well, I try to forgive the MX vid, except that it stole valuable time that you could have been vidding other fandoms.

Petty, yes, but I am that petty, especially when it means less Darien Fawkes, Crichton, Mal, or even Sam from your talented brain :)

[jebbypal]

Is that the special unit 2 you often go on about?

Honestly, I don't see anything WRONG with it, although I'm unfamiliar with the fandom. Oh, and the lack of ben browder. or undressed men in general. :) LOL.

Maybe smallville is simply stripping me of my good taste.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Bwah, no, the SU2 on is up on my site and will never be taken down, it's the crack that keeps on giving.

Nooo, that was to a UK show called 'Ultraviolet' and involves vampires (except they're not called that) and is all very angsty and Davenporty.

It's a good show (all, like, 6 episodes of it *grumbles*), so if you have the chance to check it out some time totally worth a look
