fic recs with vid and book covers

[kiki_miserychic]

I realized I'm terrible with words, so I started making book covers for the fics I enjoy as a form of feedback. I also made a little vidlet for one as well.

FIC RECS:

millylicious's The Music Box - Sylar/Claire, Nathan/Claire(ish) of Heroes. (Broken things need fixing.) -Download link for vid.

kuwdora's Through the Gates of Pandaemonium - Sylar/Mohinder of Heroes. (Abyssus abyssum invocat (Hell invokes Hell).)

dollsome's Lines - Sierra/Victor of Dollhouse. (Victor, Sierra, and crayons.)

raphaela667's the ups and downs of you - Kirk/Spock of the Star Trek Reboot. (Starfleet first officers did not regress to childhood without at least submitting prior warning to their commanding officers. They'd established that after the whole Pon Farr mess last year. There were rules about Vulcan biology and scaring the hell out of Jim now. This had to be in violation of at least three of them.)

beccatoria's The name of this story is your name. - Caprica of Battlestar Galactica. (What if Caprica didn't actually die. Ever.)

You shouldn't do experiments in vidding until you comprehend the basics. You're still putting effects on in place of content like last year.

The vidlet is so lovely -- I love the book cover idea, and the whole notion of visual recs in general, because, yes, I am always reduced to "JUST GO READ IT! FLAIL FLAIL!" But the vid really stands out from the rest. Yay you!

This is an awesome concept and I love you for it. That vidlet is fascinating!

(PS. I completely disagree with the anon above. I think there should be more experiments with vidding. I hope you don't take that person to heart.)

Uh...wow. People are always so quick to insult when they can be anonymous. It's one thing to give constructive criticism or to simply leave it at someone's videos just not being your cup of tea. But to flat out insult someone's work with zero substance to your comment is...well, lame.

Kiki's videos are extremely different from my own. But even if I can't always relate to her style, I can appreciate that she HAS her own style and creates videos that are unique and in her own voice. Experimental, whether in fanvids or commercial products, has never really been "my thing" (though I've done a couple in my time). But whether it's something that I love or not, that doesn't make it any less valid as an art form. One style is not better than the other. Clearly, you simply don't understand the basic concept of "experimental art".

Kiki, you did the right thing with your DIAF approach. You can't really take people like that seriously...ugh.

I wanna know what you did in a past life to have some much insane raw talent and, at the same time, incite such corrosive and cowardly trolling that seems to be spurred by equal parts self-loathing and jealousy. Satan-worshipping? Goat-fucking?

I would just like to say that these are AWESOME. especially the vidlet, which is stunning!
