Some Buffy love.

Read about the latest issue of s8, and went running into the arms of my favourite Buffy vids. And you get links, even though I'm sure you know them already. :)

Vow by sdwolfpup.
Summary: Buffy kicks ass. (It's only one minute long, yet packs in so much. Even if you're run off your feet, make time for this one.

Bachelorette by obsessive24.
Summary: In the shape of a girl. (Long, full of meta, and absolutely brilliant.)

Memories by Sadique. (Her website is gone, so I uploaded it myself.) It is Buffy's speech in 'Prophecy Girl' set to the theme from The Gift and uses images from all seven seasons. Utterly, utterly gorgeous - this is my Buffy, both show and girl. (VLC won't play it! Can anyone change the format to .avi or .wmv???? ETA: You'll need RealPlayer to play it! Of course!)

And that's all I've got time for! *runs away again*

"Memories" is by Sadique, who was my absolute favourite Buffy vidder and I was so sad when her website disappeared :(

(And I'm trying to resist the temptation to watch that vid - it always makes me cry)

"Memories" is by Sadique
Thank you! I couldn't recall the name and the vid wouldn't play!!!!

(And I'm trying to resist the temptation to watch that vid - it always makes me cry)
Oh I *know*. SMG really knocked it out of the ballpark in that scene. *sniff*

It's an rm-file, so it should play with RealPlayer if you have it (which, I just realised, I don't have installed on my new computer yet).

I have another one of Sadique's vids saved, actually, called "Original" (it's a retropect of the whole show). Have you seen that one?

Real Player! Of course! (I have a new computer too, and have yet to get everything on it...)

*ponders* Maybe, but it'll have been years ago, cause I don't have it saved.

I'm so confused.. I just finally got my copy of #31.. and I'm all.. Twilightgate makes no sense cause it's definitely not in that... thought Buffy;s new powers are kinda freaky.

Have you read the Willow one yet? (the standalone). It's weird.

I think it starts in #32.

Have you read the Willow one yet? (the standalone). It's weird.
Oh I don't read them [anymore]. I just skim the reviews & previews & shudder. What did they do to my poor Buffy?

[velara.livejournal.com]

Ah. That makes sense. I had thought it was in 31.

Buffy's got superpowers now. She was able to fly in 31. And she was beating those goddess's that they summoned up in Tibet. Was weird. They haven't explained why she can fly yet. Mostly she's freaked out by it too.

The Willow standalone is all about Willow and her journey to control her powers. Little weird, but I liked it.

The explanation comes in the next issue.

I've heard good things about it. :)

I may have to stop ordering my comics from TFAW, I never get them until weeks after the issue comes out. It's that or be less cheap and get faster delivery.. I can't find a comic store up here that carries them though.

[elisi]

Good luck. :)

Thanks for the recs. The first two are brilliant, but I can't open the last one. Which really sucks if the "Memories" title is indicating the song by Within Temptations which is just made of awesome.

[elisi]

The first two are brilliant, but I can't open the last one.
You'll need Real Player. (As ruuger just pointed out.)

The music is actually Buffy's theme from The Gift, and it's too gorgeous for words. (And might make you cry.)

[avamclean.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing and now I can't stop watching Memories by Sadique.

[elisi]

My pleasure! :) And Memories is truly amazing.

I've been wanting to watch "Memories" for years; several people have mentioned it to me but no one could provide a link. Now, thanks to you, I have finally seen it - and cried like a baby over it. I've saved it on my computer. Thank you so much.

[elisi]

Now, thanks to you, I have finally seen it - and cried like a baby over it.
Oh that makes me very happy! (You know what I mean.) It truly is a masterpiece.

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

It truly is a masterpiece.

Yes!

I love these,Thank you very much.Mind if i friend you?

[elisi]

Very pleased you enjoyed! And you're more than welcome to friend me. I don't talk about Buffy all that much anymore, but I still love that 'verse an awful lot and have the fic & meta to prove it! ;)

[alierajean.livejournal.com]

Umm hi. *waves* I got here via Mark Watches. (You posted a link to an Intervention commentary)

...Anyway. I've been trying to find a link to the Memories vid (because of my deep love) for, well forever. If you could reupload it or point me in the right direction that would be awesome!

Also, sorry for the totally random OT comment. Umm, yay Mark Reads?

[elisi]

Hello! *waves back*

And of course I can reupload it. Here you are! (It is terrible when vidders and/or writers disappear and take their work with them...)

And random comments are MORE than welcome here at any time! Hope you enjoyed the essay, and yay for Mark indeed. Walking down memory lane never gets old. :)

[alierajean.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks for uploading that for me! (It really, really is! XD Especially when I try to rec them to other people and just end up sounding like I'm making it up..

I loved the essay! Although even more than this one I liked your essay on Riley and Into the Woods. :) (I may have Riley issues)

Thanks again!

[elisi]

Totally my pleasure. :)

And I'm even happier that I helped you with your Riley issues - I liked digging into them, and although I never had huge problems, his story was certainly... difficult.
