I won a thing!!
The winners of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wicked_awards have been announced, and Mr Broody and The Vengeance Demon or The Ship That Never Sailed won runner up in the Het category. LOOK I GOT A SHINY THING:
Looking at it, I posted it on the 3rd of May, 2005. That's very almost 10 years ago. Wow. The ship is Angel/Anya, and I still think it's rather a good pairing!
Many MANY thank yous to whoever nominated it, and to those who voted. I shall spend many days feeling old, but grateful. ♥

This. One of my friends recced my very first fic the other day. It's crazy how pleased I was, even though I can easily see the flaws.
Oh and thank you! ♥

I just realized I don't know who won best meta and that used to be the first category I looked at! That's how slowly I'm going down the list I guess.
no subject
And as I've barely skimmed the list, I've not seen the meta yet either. :)
no subject
It's weird how I've gotten swept up in art this year when I used to bang the drum so hard for meta - i have seen some of the videos and based on an awesome Dean/Buffy crossover vid I may decide to watch SPN after all.
no subject
And SPN - that's a commitment and a half!
no subject
I don't normally go for male-centric shows but I suffered a season and a half of Copper (short seasons, mind) so how bad can it be right? (Hell, I survived Season 8. Actually I didn't, I just stepped into fandom when the season was imploding and went holy shit, people sat through this for four years? But T-shirt/bumper sticker idea FTW!)
Anyhoo, now that I've seen a couple of really awesome crossover vids thanks to the wicked awards, I wonder if I'd watch and think "but I miss buffy." *lol* It look gorgeous from the clips I saw in the videos though and some of the same themes - the reluctant hero etc.
no subject
Of course *I* would tell you to watch Doctor Who... (This is the best trailer for anything, ever.)
no subject
Fortunately or unfortunately that's not a selling point with me. *Unless we're talking abot Ewan McGregor, of course.*

Is the guy who plays Sam supposed to be considered handsome? I get that Dean probably is - in a very American square jawed sort of way - but is Sam? I don't know what (straight) women go for.
no subject
no subject
Heh, I say that about a lot of actors No surprise, right? *lol*
I'm more interested in the guy on SPN in the trench coat and this is just based on watching three or four spn/btvs crossover vids - I don't know who the heck he is but he looks interesting. Fallen angel? Sort of a Watcher?
no subject
And since you are here, can I ask you if you know of any good S6 Buffy vids? One that shows the relentless drag of everyday life, rather than sexy tiems?
no subject
Do you mean besides

Not really, to be honest, or not specific to Buffy, or to that season. (oddly enough)
"feels like I'm dying" GeeWaylero - Buffy S6 gen, Spuffy, warnings for scenes from Seeing Red (the AR and Tara's death) is more about the tragedies than the monotony

I do recommend

"oh my god" by thedothatgirl is a VERY good S6 tribute focusing on Buffy, Willow and Spike; you're probably familiar with that one as well:

I was going to rec "digging in the dirt" by seriousartistproductions - it starts out S6 gen but turns Spuffy fairly quickly
It's funny though that there are so few vids or stories about Buffy (in any season) dealing specifically with "the relentless drag of everyday life" (which is central to pretty much the entire series) vs "sexyfuntimes" which make up a very small percentage of the show in terms of screen time. But from what I've seen in fandom, the percentages are quite reversed. Perhaps because the majority of fans are more interested in Buffy's men (including non-canon ships i.e. Buffy/Giles) than in the lady herself?
Not that it bothers meno subject
Thank you for that link! There are several vids that I never got round to saving and that is one of them.
"feels like I'm dying" GeeWayler
That one, funnily enough, I found myself when I started looking! But it's very helpful to have all the links in one place. :)
Also thank you for the links to
I'll rec you

I was NOT familiar! Oh. my. god. I feel all stunned. Partly because I am very familiar with the song - from a Doctor Who vid! There it's a cover version by Lily Allen with a chatty DJ and it's this roller-coaster-y romp with all the Russel T. Davies companions, with bits of Torchwood thrown in. (OMG! by
