Kirk/Spock is now a video on You Tube.... why am I not surprised? Horrified and yet... compelled to watch it over and over and over and....

Thanks to Maureen McHugh for alerting me to this.

Wow. That's, um, hot.

[lydamorehouse]

Uh, yeah. All the tossing around and smoldering looks... Hmmm, I might have to watch it again.

[sbarret.livejournal.com]

HAH! That's great!

[swords-and-pens.livejournal.com]

Well done.

It's kind of...hypnotic.

Whoa....

[pisces3857.livejournal.com]

Just um - whoa.

Ahhh yes, that one. If you haven't encountered fanvids much before, Henry Jenkins has an interesting piece here in his blog about this particular corner of fannish creativity. It includes a discussion of this particular vid.

Thanks for the link. I followed and rediscovered (or maybe found out for the first time) that Theodore Sturgeon wrote "Amok Time," which continues my belief that Sturgeon was just plain awesome.

Someone mentioned fanfilm at the slash panel I was on, but this was the first time I'd seen it. I feel kind of behind the times, but I'm always the last one to discover the cool stuff.

If you want to check out more vids, thefourthvine has recommendations in assorted fandoms here (just scroll past the anime ones if that's not your thing).

As someone else said, Killa's stuff is great, though she's taken it offline, so it's hard to see unless you know someone with saved copies-- I'm not sure if she'll email a download link if you ask or not. luminosity is also quite good.

Fanfilm is, I think, sort of a different genre-- films made by fans, usually with original content (e.g. they get actors and a script and whatnot), rather than vids where clips from the show(s) typically make up the entire vid (though some, like that kirk/spock one, incorporate other content)

Roddenberry must be spinning in his grave.

Ah, yes... Such a disturbing and awesome vid. It's one of my favorites. Also, I second the suggestion to go read Henry Jenkins. And if you want more vids, slashy and not, I, um... has a collection of them. ;) Anything by Killa is quite good.

Wow. That was so well done. And so very, very hot. I'll be in my bunk.

Hmm
