12:08 am VID REC: due South - That's All
Vidder: SDWolfpup
Musical artist: Genesis
Pairing: Ray Vecchio/Ray Kowalski

Why this vid kicks ass
This is a constructed reality vid, which I personally tend to find interesting--only the "Call of the Wild" clips are to be taken in context, says the vidder. She sums up the appeal of this vid to me: "This vid was made for Ray/Ray fans specifically, keying into the things I think we've developed in our fanon, based on who the characters were in canon." And that is what this vid does--act as a visual Ray/Ray story, showing the appeal of two such dynamic characters: Amazingly well done! I completely love this vid.

Vidders will like reading the vid post, with the details of how this vid was made and the challenges that had to be overcome.

09:53 am Read My Mind by Raynebow68
Song:Read My Mind by the Killers
Fandom:STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing:starsky and hutch
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] lauramcewan
Vidders Website:http://www.hawksong.com/~lauramcewan/cryfreedom.html

WHY YOU MUST WATCH THIS VID: Why because this vid is about reading minds and Starsky and Hutch had such a connection that they could just look at each other and know what the other was thinking. Lauramcewan captures this perfectly in this vid and she couldn`t have picked a better song. This is such a fun vid, so watch and just enjoy!

11:24 am VID REC: NCIS - (I Would) Be the One
Vidder: Luthien
Musical artist: Sarah McLachlan
Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo
Vidder of LJ: [livejournal.com profile] luthien82
Vidder's Website: Luthien's Writing Studio, YouTube Page
Why this vid kicks ass:

I think the better question is, how does this vid not kick ass? Because it does, on so many levels.

I know that Vid Recs were for yesterday, but it slipped my mind because I was so busy (even though I had already picked something out! *facepalm*). I would have felt like a heel if I didn't get the chance to get this in, so I hope it's not too bad. :-(

This video actually tells a story, about the progression of Gibbs' and Tony's relationship, and how much they're scarred by their past. There's a some angst, a little implied sex, and a whole lot of love. It positively shines in the two of them in this vid, and it's heartbreakingly beautiful. This video is extremely well edited - the sequences are well thought out, and make sense. It's a story one can really get into.

Luthien is such a talented vidder, and I've loved every one of her videos. After watching this one (because, really, you have to - it's obligatory!), do go check out her other vids!

11:32 am Wind Them Up And Let Them Go, by little-b (R)
Fandom: HARD CORE LOGO
Pairing: none
Length: 900 words or so
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] buzzylittleb
Author Website: The Leisure Hive
Why this must be read: because it's a lyrical and twisted view of Billy, broken and psychopathic, schizophrenic and wrong. It's an insightful story, showing us glimpses of Billy's mind among the shards of a broken mirror.

02:22 pm VID REC: Hard Core Logo - How It Ends
Vidder: R.B.
Musical artist: DeVotchKa
Pairing: none, or all, depending on the viewer
Vidder of LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rubberbutton
Vidder's Website: none
Why this vid kicks ass: because R.B. chose a somewhat unusual slow and melancholy song for her vid, and then edited together the perfect clips to show us the band's journey through Canada, the good times and the bad, the laughter and tears and anger. A bittersweet view of the movie, and of the band.

03:01 pm ALL HE NEEDS TO HEAR By Rebelcat (R) slash
Fandom: STARSKY and HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky and Hutch
Length: one-shot
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] myrebelcat


Why this must be read:
This must be read because this is Hutch through and through. He's been shot and all he can worry about is that he has lied to Starsky and he might die before he can tell Starsky the truth. Rebelcat is so funny and she uses humor and wit to deal with Hutch's problem in the most entertaining way.


“Oh, that girl? You don’t want to date her. She's not your type. Trust me on this one.”

“We were drunk. It was just, you know, one of those things.”

He’d once thought those were the worst lies he could tell. What he hadn’t taken into consideration, however, had been those lies of omission, those words unspoken, and the things he’d said that he only thought were true.

Was lying to your partner worse than lying to yourself?

09:02 pm Masks, by entangled_now. (PG-13)
Fandom: TORCHWOOD
Pairing: team; Ianto/Jack
Length: ~ 1,800 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] entangled_now
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] libraryofsol is their fanfic journal.
Why this must be read:

How do you react when you know some-one of your team isn't who they are supposed to be but you don't know which of them is it? This was such a fascinating view on the team. They became a team, almost a family, but they were never really friends. The atmosphere is deliciously creepy, and the ending fits the whole story.

11:50 pm The Light of Reason by Darcie (All Ages)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Doctor/Rose
Length: 26,421
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: Profile at A Teaspoon and An Open Mind
Why this must be read:

Because no one plots a story quite like Darcie, leaving readers on the edge of their seats in the process. The Doctor and Rose have tracked a stone that has shown to cause psychosis to anyone that comes near it to the outskirts of Barcelona (city, not planet), when Rose is abducted from a man suffering from its affects. This action-packed story is full of amazing original characters, and a plot that will hook and entertain any reader.
