To both Annie and Lindsay: I totally agree with both of you that fangirling up is permitted in a way that fangirling down isn't. Remember the <a href=" http://roflrazzi.com/2010/04/04/celebrity-pictures-twilight-moms-cheering-cops/ "> ...
Yes. that exactly!!! While there's a certain ironic distancing going on, at the end there's also a real enjoyment in the unironic fangirling. I think part of it is that growing up might have allowed us to be uncool in ways that we couldn't ...
This column reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell's talk show in the 90s. Whereas initially, her appeal seemed to be that she was "just like us," that her getting to meet celebs was similar to us "normal folks" getting closer to our ...
I'm glad this works for you. In general, I think, Constructed Reality vids with their decontextualization make the transformativity claim a tad easier even as you lose some of the interpretation/analysis aspect of vidding. ...
I do think that Constructed Reality vids can be more accessible because they do not require canon knowledge. That's more the case here and in the J2 example than in the Bones one, for example, because the latter relies heavily on canon nevertheless, ...

Yes...while it has an otherwordly look to it (that rising into the sunlights against the colored windows moment), I think of The Storm, for example, where it literally becomes a bubble. And think of the dead plants versus Teyla's fertile living with ...
Yes, there are tons of interesting shipping xovers. But then my analogies to fic continue nicely, don't they? Buffy/SPN and even SPN/CM work in ways in which HP/SPN or, heck, LOTR/SPN do not as easily. Then again, if you choose to completely play aga ...
Maf, I find your focus on Diana's background really interesting, because after watching the other vids, I mostly felt like your chosen vid looks *more* like what we're used to in media fandom, whereas the other slide shows seem to connect maybe ...
I am so glad you decided on this vid, which is one of my favorite character studies. The juxtaposition of science and religion that drives so much of Scully's quest is so beautifully laid out here with the imagery the show provides as the vid not onl ...
