Aug. 11th, 2010 12:01 pmHere I was, philosophizing yet again that being unable to squee when most of your online friends do is as frustrating as squeeing about something they dislike (aproposes of my mixed response to Sherlock and Sherlock), and gloomily wondering "why am I always in a "yes, but..." mood about other people's loves of late, be it about Inception or Sherlock or about the fifth season of Doctor Who... when more results from the recent vid con as well as new fanfiction made me cheer as enthusiastically and wholeheartedly as I ever did. Hooray, as certain former members of a tv show production team are prone to say on their audio commentaries!
Merlin:
Make Something Good: not only is this a superb Guinevere character vid but it showcases Gwen as one of the creators of the future Camelot, but it does justice to her relationship with Merlin as well as with Arthur and their relationship with each other (and all the parallels and differences that involves), and manages to draw intriguing parallels between her relationships with Morgana and Lancelot respectively. I love it. This is my Gwen. (And my Merlin OT3, for that matter.)
Doctor Who:
My Shadow in the Sun: in which the canonical yet off screen pairing Elizabeth Tudor/ (Tenth) Doctor (I maintain this is is where the Moff got the idea for naming Liz Ten from) is given a splendid timey-wimey story, co-starring Donna, Amy and Eleven. As someone who loves everyone involved and loves historical fiction, this was like the best kind of fannish chocolate for me.
Multifandom:
Not squee but really thought inducing, a vid that is great meta on fandom, kink, violence and sexuality. Much of fandom loves their bloody, pretty, hurt men, the bloodier the better. Just how much, and where is the line, if there is one?: On the prowl.
