Attn. Drivers: Today's the last Friday of the month, which means Friday Night Drive-In, a.k.a. Fan Vid Recs.

Why this vid kicks ass:


Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:

1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.

or…

2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.

or…

3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).


Do not:
Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage.
Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web.
Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.

Thank you!

01:39 pm VID REC: due South - "Homies"
Vidder: Miruku Koohii
Musical Artist: “Juggalo Homies” by Insane Clown Posse
Pairing: gen
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: Fizz and Vinegar
Why this vid kicks ass:

The creator describes it as “light and fun, showcasing the humour of Due South,” which is accurate. It also does a fantastic job of conveying the camaraderie between the characters, the sense that they have seen each other at their worst and best—they’re family. The Fraser/Kowalski duet takes center stage, but we also get little moments spotlighting Welsh, Thatcher, Huey and Dewey, Turnbull, Frannie, Elaine, and (of course) Dief. Although I’m pretty sure that Benton Fraser would object to some of the language and several of the activities described in this song, I can see him nodding along to lines like:

Me and my homies stay tight like a noose
And if you step to one of us you better step to the whole crew
I never knew that I could depend
That I could have some friends that's down to the very end
Well that's my homeboys excuse me, my family
And when we conquer the world
We mackin' on the galaxy
'cause sky's the limit and we ain't finished
And if my homies gonna ride ya know I'm with it

09:43 pm VID REC: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - "Behind Blue Eyes"
Vidder: Shalott
Musical artist: The Who
Pairing: Giles/Ethan
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] astolat
Vidder's website: Intimations

Why this vid kicks ass:
I love this Giles/Ethan vid. The song is so Giles, and Shalott does a great job telling the story of this tangled relationship. The scenes used in the vid make it obvious that Ethan was enormously important in Giles' life for anyone who doubts the possibility. And I adore the scene with Ripper.

Behind Blue Eyes (Be sure to right-click and save the vid.)

11:46 pm Temperature, by Kate Elizabeth (NC-17)
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Legolas/Eowyn
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] moonwhip
Author Website: Moonwhip.net
Why this must be read:

If the pairing isn’t enough to draw you in, then let the hotness of it do. This could be a PWP, but it isn’t, not really. OK, so it is: but what’s a month of driving the [livejournal.com profile] crack_van with no PWP to speak of?

11:57 pm All Wrapped Up by The Grrrl (NC-17)
Title: All Wrapped Up
Fandom: Stargate: SG1
Pairing: Jack/Daniel
Author On LJ: [livejournal.com profile] thegrrrl2002
Author Website: thegrrr's slash fic
Why This Must Be Read:

Domestic J/D, fun snarky comments, fun with ribbons! *evil smirk* and Daniel Jackson in a sweater. I've yet to see the bad here. It's a Christmas fic (no, it's not Christmas in July but well, it's the end of May, let's call it even *G*) and I loved it when I read it. It went down as one of my favorite of [livejournal.com profile] thegrrrl2002's fics period and it always will be. It's hot, cute, fun, there are moments that'll reduce you to sheer "AWWWW" and...did I mention the sweater and fun with ribbons?!
