So wondygal did the original fic version of this meme, which I had been planning to do for a while, but kept putting off because it is REALLY, REALLY difficult (I still plan to do it! Eventually!). But then I saw a fanvid-inspired variation, and wanted to occupy myself while HIMYM and Gossip Girl download. I - can't imagine anyone will want to read my crazy love-fueled vid rambling, but whatever, I ENJOY TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS.

Pick your five ten all-time favourite fanvids, the ones which made you laugh or cry or kicked you in the guts, that inspired you to offer the vidder internets and first born sons, and tell us why you loved them. Any fandom, any pairing, any genre - the only requirement is they stood out from the crowd. Also, links or it didn't happen.

( Vid reccing magic! Vaguely in order of importance, but actually not really, because then it got too difficult and I got lazy. ALL OF THESE VIDS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. )


WELL THAT WAS EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING. But fun! If any of you decide to do this, definitely link me in the comments, so I can check it out (I have given up on checking my f-list. IT IS LIKE DROWNING). ♥

This picspam is not at all organized! Because I started off with like, two things so I decided not to do size coordination. JUST IGNORE THAT. Also, the entire time I was making it, I was talking to moogle62 on G-chat about, like, everything. There is no Dollhouse in this because I wanted to make it moogle62 friendly after yakking at her about it all day. MOOG, HURRAY UP WITH THE WATCHING SO I CAN STOP WORRYING ABOUT SPOILING YOU. The lovely Eliza Dushku was also excluded because I wound up with way too many pictures of her and I AM TIRED. But tomorrow! Eliza spam!

WOW. Just...wow. Guys, if you haven't given Veronica Mars a chance, do me a favor and just try out the first five or six episodes. The first season blew me out of the freaking water with a mix of snappy writing, stunning color, and emotion. VM is like a fantastic mix of three or four of my favorite shows, but has the strongest connections to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (kickass, little blonde takes down the bad guys) and Gossip Girl (Veronica's relationships to Duncan and Logan especially, but also the slight similarities between the UESers and the 09ers). However, I find the way Veronica solves mysteries to have less of an Alias feel and more like this awesome mashup between Chuck, Psych, and Supernatural.

Anyway, if you're even slightly interested, drop me a comment and I'll link you!

Title: Fences
Song: "Fences" by Paramore
Rating: G-PG
Character/Pairing: Jenny Humphrey
Spoilers: Clips up to 1x18: Much "I Do" About Nothing, but not particularly spoilery
Summary: The rise and fall of a 9th grade social-climber :: Don't you know by now / You can't turn back / Because this road is all you'll ever have
Watch: YouTube, iMeem
Download: Mediafire 
Disclaimer: All clips & media copyright their respective owners. I own nothing.
Notes: At first, I'd intended to make a sympathetic Jenny vid to combat all the Jenny-hate, but this...definitely isn't it. I think "Fences" is the perfect Jenny song. She's not cut out to be Queen Bee so every day she stays on top she loses a bit of herself, yet she can't back down.  This was really fun to make, and definitely took me the shortest time (one week, I am a very slow vidder, LOL). *g* Enjoy!
