VID REC: Xena: Warrior Princess - The Conquerer by Tinka

[cloudtrader.livejournal.com]

Fandom: Xena: Warrior Princess
Artists: various artists for each video, attributed
Vidder: Tinka1482
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's Website: on YouTube
Why is must be watched:
I'm continually amazed by vidders who can reinterpret the source material, but vidders that can tell a whole new story with the source material blow my mind. Tinka (who has been recommended here before) is just that sort of mind-blowing vidder.

The Conqueror Series of vids tells a whole new story (in-line with a fanfic of the same name, btw) where Xena is a despotic ruler of nations and Gabrielle is the slave she's taken a fancy to. They change each other and the world hangs in the balance. REALLY awesome (and really dark) storytelling. Uhhh, warning for violence and themes of rape and torture.
