Bits and bobs....

SQUEEEE! secretlytodream made me a gorgeous vid banner for my vid In Te Domine" (thanks for the lovely response to the vid btw <33). I love its subtlety and colour. And because she is super generous she also made some wallpapers as a bonus for yourlibrarian. Which I can share with you all. *G*

*mega smish honey* THANK YOU!!

Happy birthday varkelton. I hope you had a great day! :D

I have managed to read the grand total of ONE Big Bang *fails* and it's hers. I loved Varkelton's BB from last year An Issue of Consent and her follow up fic A Question of Choice" didn't disappoint. I loved it. And the art work for both fics is wonderful. If you get a chance check 'em out.

Note to self: You will never get the vid made if you keep stopping and watching your favourite bits. (The end of Houses of the Holy is probably up there are one of my favourite scenes ever. And it's so poignant and heart wrenching knowing what happens in the future. *sniff*)

I'm back in my vidding comfort zone with the next one. Not to say it isn't causing me some issues, but I find myself being more comfortable with themed montages. :)

podfic rec I may not be getting much reading done, but I've been listening to plenty of podfics. I have to rec a super hot (and funny) one by my new "go to" author balefully called So Quit Asking Me It's read by a guy (sir_yessir). It's the first time I've come across a podfic read by a guy and *koff* holy hell. Just something about hearing the Sam and Dean voices actually sound male...*fans self*

I'm on HOLIDAY!!! \o/ 2 glorious weeks!!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend.

Oh, that banner as wallpaper..very cool! It would be very tempting to use as a BG on my desktop but there is already the "Winchester laundry day". And I think that might just stay there forever...

You will never get the vid made if you keep stopping and watching your favourite bits.

Haha, I thought I was the only one doing that...*g*

Hee! Holiday!! *expects you to spend every day and night vidding* LOL (just joking, I know you have to sleep at night. :P)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh you have the laundry day pic as you BG?! How awesome. God I love that picture. :D

Hee! And I'm always stopping to watch Sammy getting tied up moments in episodes. I waste a lot of time doing that.

And what do you mean sleep? Even in my sleep I'm thinking about vidding - you know that moment just before you either fall asleep or just after you wake up. In fact I was going through my current vid this morning like that. I'm addicted I tell you!!

<33

Sometimes I think I only bought my own computer so I could have the laundry day as BG...lol.

Mmmm....tied up Sammy in a twilight dream zone...*g*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Oh Sammy *swoons* ... see, know I want to go and watch that scene again. And just when I'm about to start some vidding! :D

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

LOL (You may blame me now, if you don't get your vid done... :D)

[varkelton]

::Happy sigh...:: I might stay right here for the rest of the day...

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Haha, be my guest...

Love the wallpaper. I wish I could conquer Photoshop and make pretty, pretty things, too.

Also, this is the second time in just as many days that that fic and its sequel have been rec'ed on my flist. I think I should go read it. *bookmarks*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I wish I could conquer Photoshop and make pretty, pretty things, too.

Oh I do too. I have to make puppy eyes at my lovely (and very generous) flist to make them for me.

I think I should go read it.

Oh yes do. It's so needy and desperate and the boys love each other SO much (oooh, assuming you're into that..*g*). Good idea to read the first one first I think, even though the sequel does work as a stand alone.

:)

[varkelton]

Oh, thank you for the rec, darling! ::blushes:: My birthday was, in fact, pretty awesome, with much booze and drunken fangirling and even drunken round robin porn, lol! ::Hugs you:: Congrats on your vacation, honey!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh wow! Drunken round robin porn! I'd like to have been a fly on that wall! :D

Glad to hear you had a great birthay! :D

[varkelton]

LOL - if you want to check it out, go here: http://rivestra.livejournal.com/15181.html

But we were all really drunk, so don't expect much, lol!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! And I got to actually BE a fly on the wall. \o/ That was great - I loved the Sam/Alec dynamic. It's amazing that all that can come out in a comment fic. I didn't want it to end of course. I was getting right into it. :)

Thanks so much for the link. No idea you meant a written round robin - I thought you meant a verbal one. :)

[varkelton]

LOL! I don't believe we've finished it yet (we're waiting on Rivestra to add the next piece), and you are welcome to jump in if you feel inspired. It's all for fun...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

omg hun, I can hardly string two sentences together, let alone write anything resembling fiction. I admire you guys, I really wish I could write. I shall just have to sit back and enjoy what you all are writing. :D

[varkelton]

Perfect! Since there's no minimum, you could add a single sentence and be good, and that's half as much as you just said you could do! LOL!!! /teasing. ::Hugs you::

[ash48.livejournal.com]

HA!

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

SInce the Summer Institute is over I got back into my vidding groove also. What?¿? So it's another Doctor Who vid. What's the problem with that??? :)

<NOTE : I'll have it posted later. Please check it out and give me some feedback.>

So my question is this:

When it comes to vidding, what the difference between being in a groove and being in a rut?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Heya,

Sure I'll check it out as soon as I can. :D

( is that other vid still on the cards? *hopeful look*

And I much rather be in a groove than in a rut. I hit a groove last night and it was FAB! I love it when it just seems to come together...(of course I have to look at it this morning... so it might not be as fab as I first thought).
xx

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

I like being in the groove better too. becuase just today the muse hit for the Leverge vid. I couldn't start it until the right idea popped into my head. And I'm sure you'll love this one. But I'm not telling you anything cause it really, really, really needs to be a surprise. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

it will be the first thing I work on after I get back from our lake trip. But beware, it will be stirring around in my mond all that time. :)

[yourlibrarian]

Nice wallpaper/banner! It goes wonderfully well with the vid.

Ah yes, I've heard that podfic :) One of the few cases where I downloaded the audio version after having read the text. I don't think I've read the BB though as I'm behind on last year's reads.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes, I like how well it matches the feeling of the vid. Loki is particularly good at that.

Re the podfic - I had no idea it would be a male reader when I dl'd it. Sometimes I have to take a punt on the reader - hope it will be a voice I can listen to. And when it started it was a surprise. At first I wasn't sure how it would be, but quickly found out that it was nice hearing a male voice match males in the fic.

I think I will be forever behind on BB's. (I am still hoping to see some BB podfics emerging soon).
