Jul. 6th, 2006 09:22 pmYou know, I usually think I sound too serious, or obsessed, or explain things too much or not enough, or sound too 'artsy' or faux!thinky without meaning to, whatever.
So of course when I make a really silly/casual post about wanting to write 'King Dork' slash, THE WRITER HIMSELF has to see and POST ON HIS BLOG ABOUT IT to the consternation and superior bemusement of his readers, like 'ewww, slash' and 'oh, it's one of -those- people' & 'wtf is that person saying??' type reactions. :/
Actually, my first response was all 'lakflkajdfklsvdjhOMGWTFWOW' (laughing my ass off), but it's also kind of... scary, y'know. It made me realize just -how- much we're living in our own tiny bubble which people really -wouldn't- get, much as I like to blithely pretend otherwise, because people don't -suck-, do they? Like, they don't suck enough to constantly dismiss things they don't understand, do they?? Oh wait. :/
It's also REALLY weird and freaky to know a 'real writer' could read this-- hell, -JKR- could be reading us without any of us the wiser!! The whole thing just made me realize I respect & admire the author of a book I like... FROM A DISTANCE. I definitely want my space, man. And also, anti-slash oh-I'm-so-superior people deserve to have dirty raunchy RPS written about them till they faint from shock :P
~~
EDIT - Holy crap, they don't make H/D vids like they used to o_0 Omg... just, watched the recent fluffy H/D vid of DOOM~! My EYES, my eyes!!1 Or should I say, the MANIPS, the manips!! :(( Watched the whole thing 'cause I saw someone say it made them remember why they shipped H/D. Made -me- remember why I avoid most fic like the plague, personally :P Of course, nothing can match the GENIUS of 'The Way Things Are' vid for pure unfiltered H/D spirit, not even
silviakundera's vids. ♥♥♥. FOR SERIOUS!
...I actually found
layha's classic 'The Way Things Are' & 'Through With You' here, if you scroll down. Man. Her website's gone & she's left fandom, but the BEAT GOES ON. ♥

But if I ever get around to writing my crazy ideas down, I would model myself after

Though I can't imagine being made uncomfortable by a cool person finding me :P But then, people still intimidate me with too much attention no matter who they are, ahahah.

Date: 2006-07-06 11:49 pm (UTC)Also, since you're talking about H/D vids, I have to just say, NOTHING CAN EVER BE AS GOOD AS "SHE BANGS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is hands-down one of the best fanvids I've ever seen. I say that as a vidder.

Date: 2006-07-07 12:03 am (UTC)AND OMG OMG I FORGOT ABOUT 'SHE BANGS', THOUGH I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD :( :( I FORGOT WHO MADE IT, ALSO, BUT I REMEMBER THE GENIUS :( :( NOW I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN & I DON'T HAVE IT ON THIS LAPTOP!! :(( But! You have to admit Layha's vid is like 1000x better than that other thing recently making the rounts :> :> can you sent it to me?? *bats eyes*

Date: 2006-07-07 12:46 am (UTC)Sure I can send it to you! Is .wmv good?
Man I am too hesitant to watch most HP vids.
no subject
Date: 2006-07-07 01:11 am (UTC)But yes, um, .wmv is totally good! That's what Layha's vids are in, which you should watch if you haven't! They're classic, totally up there, though I agree about most HP vids being made my total fangirl amateurs. There just isn't a vid culture in HP the way there is in TV-based fandoms, where there are reviews and whole rec websites and things. But um, I know Layha & Silvia & you, so I have my (old-school, haha) sources :> Plus most of the vids people make seem to be R/Hr & H/G, and the idea of the movies spliced into romantic OBHWF songs...... *shudder*
And btw, um, continuing my role as your sometime crack provider...

Date: 2006-07-07 01:29 am (UTC)Well, there's lots of sci-fi/fantasy cons where a lot of the "lesser" actors in the HP movies attend. I'm not surprised DanRad doesn't go to cons, because can you imagine the crowdedness and the fan craziness?
THANKS FOR THE HOOK-UP!
