brief intermission in the whining about being sick

[rose_griffes]

I'm going to ignore the headache and other aches for a moment.

1) We could use some beta-readers to help with the bsg_remix. The volunteer post is here. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that my co-mod, lls_mutant, wouldn't mind if you signed up to beta-read even if you're not participating in the remix. *g*

2) Links!
Speaking of beta-reading, here's an essay about it.

Picspam that compares/contrasts Jack Shepherd and Lee Adama. Hee!
I did a poll once to figure out which one was more emo. Results were inconclusive.

I know it's been recced in several places, but I just recently (finally!) watched the fanvid Hera Has Six Mommies. It's fascinating--very atmospheric and examines the whole cylon obsession with reproduction.

Kara/Leoben fanvid I Alone, by nnaylime, uses a song that would never have thought of, but it works. It also makes me have thinky thoughts about the conflation of sex and death and destiny for Kara... (er, I should specify that the show did it first--the vid just made me think about it a bit more).

A vid about Kara and her destiny: Follow me into the darkness by threezerotwo. An example of an instrumental song choice that works really well. (Uses mostly season four footage.)

Yay, great!

Jack and Lee! bwah! so true and explains my annoyance at both. Though I think Sawyer/Juliet is Sam/Kara. But then, I would, I guess. :)

Heh, I also find both Jack and Lee occasionally annoying. Jack more than Lee by a lot, actually.

Juliet/Sawyer is my favorite pair on the Island but I don't think of them as being like Kara/Sam at all. I find Sawyer tolerable when he's with Juliet, but don't really like him otherwise... and I do, in fact, like Sam. Period. Lost is a show I watch way more for plot than for characterization. Oh, and I watch for Michael Emerson being twisty and for the Ben/Island/Locke shippiness, heh. (Who knows where that's going now?!)

I had meant to sign up, so thanks for the reminder.

Ahaha. Jack and Lee. Yes. :)

!!! I heard that song on the radio a few weeks ago and thought it would make a perfect Kara vid, but no one would ever use it. Oh, my tortured adolescence!

Oooh, interesting coincidence. I would ask what you had in mind for the vid, but since I won't be making it...

Sometimes I wish I did make fanvids. I still have that Six vidbunny that I would love to see come to life. But ack, not enough time in the world.
