Dear Remixer 09

Dear Remixer,

This will be my second remix, and I'm very excited about participating. I had such fun last year--both with the fics I wrote and the remix of my work. I think this is the ficathon most in keeping, most in tune, with what we as fans are about. I know that fandom means many things to many people, but for me, fandom is a glorious subversion, a celebration of what is and what might be, a peek between the closed curtains, a look behind or ahead or even sideways. We do these things to the source material with our fic, our icons, our art, our vids all the time, and Remix gives us a chance to give our fellow fans the same attention.

I believe that Remix is about the remixer, not the remixee, in the same way that I believe that the fanfic I've written is about me and my interpretation of canon and not so much Joss Whedon or J.J. Abrams. Do what you will; this is not about pleasing me.

I've ventured into new territory since last remix. There's RPF and Star Trek!reboot to play with now. Click the tag if you like and read last year's letter; I say a little bit more there about the focus of most of my fic that might be helpful.

Have fun and cross your fingers for me as I write as well.

I haven't made a rec post in a long time and my bookmarks are getting unruly again.

VIDS

Happy Alone by Danegen; SPN RPF
Because Jared and Jensen make this shit so easy. :) <3 (Also I love this song.)

I hate downloading vids. Hate it. I want to watch them streaming. But I downloaded this one and I'm glad I did.

We Will Rock You by proofpudding; SPN gen
This is Sam and Dean being brothers. *loves*

Soul of Man by Lolawaldorf; SPN
I think Beck is pretty much a musical genius; I adore black and white film and photography; and this is one hell of a narrative. I know there was some controversy over the vid maker actually manipulating Beck's music for the vid, but I think the inclusion of the "wing sound" from the credits is a great touch.

Blue On Black by absrip; SPN Wincest
Okay, I fess up. I'd watch a vid to a Kenny Wayne Sheppard song if it was a black screen. Fortunately, this is a little more entertaining. :) Lovely use of color; wonderful editing. I like the use of audio clips here--like a haunting punctuation to the music.

In My Pants by Deirdre_C; SPN; Wincestyish
I love Lonely Island, those musical geniuses and this song never fails to make me laugh. Once you realize that SPN is one long money shot, it gets even funnier.

Like a Boss by winterevanesce; SPN
More Lonely Island! More Yay!

Qapla!
This is a transcript (and some audio) of an On the Media radio program about Star Trek and its many franchises. Really interesting with lots of interviews with cast members. Oh, Kate Mulgrew, never stop being awesome.
