I've just posted a vid commentary for greensilver's wonderful Doctor Who vid "Everything's Not Lost."

*Everyone* I know is at Bam Vid Vault now so despite some reservations I had with the place and because Imeem (for vidders) is no more, I have uploaded my vids there.

For more on the asshattery that is Imeem.

I'll also be uploading to blip.tv and as you may know already, I'm at Youtube.

I've been in hospital the last couple of days having a selective op so I am a bit behind on emails and such. If you are waiting on something from me you might not get it until the end of the week. Just letting you know. :)

I got a code from deejay! Thank you!

And this is me attempting my first cross-post to livejournal.

I haven't been very postful of late. Actually, I've been a bit of a miserable cow. There's no knowing when that's likely to change but you can add me on Dwth or not. http://charmax.dreamwidth.org/profile

I got my Club Vivid vid in just under the wire. Phew! Now I just have to sit on it for 3 months.

Just want to give a heads up about a possibly infected Imeem... Via Norton Safe Web. This really doesn't look good.

Wow that was quick! They look to have sorted the problem now.

All money raised goes to the charity RAINN. Please dig deep.

Mine are not exactly the first footprints in the snow here so much of this will have been said already and more eloquently but I just wanted to say a few things about the BSG final.

( Spoilers ahead. )

It's sign-up time for the last ever Sweet Charity auction. The bidding begins March 28 until March 31. If you don't already know, Sweet Charity is a fandom auction, run by the incredibly generous halcyon_shift, that has raised a massive $70,000+ over 7 rounds for RAINN and various other charities. This current round is its eighth and sadly, its final. To find out more visit the site or the LJ community sweetcharityvox.

As it's the last ever auction I've decided I should put myself out there again and offer up a vid. All the details are below. It would be so awesome to see you all participate in this final round so dig deep and share your wares and lets make this its best ever!

deathisyourart has posted a poll to gauge interest in a vid commentary comm and when this might be best started, before Vividcon or after?

Here are 2 vids that I've recently enjoyed. They both cover a similar theme of the "ordinary people" and the Adama/Roslin administration but come at it from slightly different angles. One makes my heart ache and one makes my head spin. Both are intense and thought-provoking.

On the 18th July, 2009, the on-line femslash community is set to celebrate the second annual International Day of Femslash; an opportunity to raise its head high and proclaim to the world its delight in all things femslash. So, whether you're a seasoned writer, with hordes of ardent fans, or a timid newcomer, you have the chance to make your voice heard and help put femslash well and truly on the map.

Simply post your stories, videos, graphics, essays, poems or other femslash related works to an archive, community, group or forum on 18th July, 2009, to show your support. Where you choose to post your creative efforts is up to you; although, we do hope to gather together an extensive list of web-sites, lj communities, Yahoo Groups and forums which support our efforts, but feel free to post widely to wherever femslash is welcome.

For too many years, femslash has been treated as the distant cousin to the het and slash king and queen of fandom, so this is our opportunity to demonstrate to ourselves, as much as anyone else, that we are a force to be reckoned with.

"I'm your Man" was my contribution to last years event. I'm not sure if I'll be participating this time round (depends on other deadlines) but hope to see everyone else celebrating!

Also, please, please pimp the event. You can use one of the nifty banners from the femslashday website or you can use the one I made above. :)

It's been a long, long time since I made any art and I'm missing it. Anyone know of any good challenge/battle comms these days? I need to be inspired. Or does anyone feel like challenging me? Or making a request? I'm open to pretty much anything. :)

kiki_miserychic & zombiep0rn were the inspiration behind the vid.


Video Title: Unnatural Selection
Song Title/Artist: Pussycats Gone To Heaven (Pixies vs Pussycat Dolls) - DJ Lobsterdust
