The Happy List

I am still obsessed with the Vividcon Auction. Things are typically slowing down a bit (it's just Thursday, after all) but I know from experience that the crazy hasn't even been tapped. Nor has the evil, jackiekjono's noble efforts notwithstanding. She isn't evil, she's just drawn that way.

Things that have made me happy today:

1. Going in late to work (I have late duty tonight) and sitting in a tank top at my computer in front of a white-sheer-curtained covered open window, vidding this AM. It was just a viseral pleasure and the breeze was warm and nice and the music was warm and nice and Starbuck's face was warm and nice and I laid a good thirty seconds of clips and it felt...warm and nice.

2. sga_flashfic has been making me happy for a while, but this latest challenge has been making me happy in new and exciting ways. The stories are to be written in or under 38 minutes and I am just astounded at what is being cranked out. It would take me years to do what they can do in a few minutes. I love writers. I do.

But today astolat made me even happier because she wrote Limestone. Three guesses what happens in this story and your first two don't count.

3. elke_tanzer's request for links to pro-novels, movies and fan-fic that follow a particular formula promises to be an intriguing read. I am certain I have read at least 10 different stories in both the romance genre and in fanfic that have followed this formula to the letter and yet my brain is such a sieve I can't remember any other details other than this feels so very familiar.

4. Daddy!Adama makes me happy. So very very happy. I can't even tell you how happy he makes me.

::glows::

5. The reaction to spoilers for the QaF finale are entertaining and I was very happy this morning trying to glean what was going to happen merely by the reaction of the fen. My take was that Justin, after a particularly nasty fight with Brian, flees to Venice where he then dies in a freak Gondola Accident and Brian is then comforted by Ted and they get married and adopt a Golden Retriever whom they name Justin.

If this is not what happens, don't tell me. It amuses me terribly and I now shall go to an imaginary place called "Brian Takes Justin to Obedience Class Where Justin Bites the Instructor." It's wacky! It's fun! There is a dog, so jackiekjono will watch it!


I will add to this list as my joy-in-the-day develops.

Vid Outline

I'm at work - and I am bored. Bored bored bored and I want to be home and vidding and since I can't do that - I have done something I rarely do nowadays.

I've outlined my vid. And I decided to post it because - well other vidders might be as interested in process as I am.

Now what I do want to note here is that:

1. Please don't comment on the vid idea, clip idea or any of that itself. I have a beta and will figure it out and the questions in the outline are there for *me* to answer. It will bug me if anyone else tries to answer them without me contacting them and actually *asking* the question.

I'm not up for discussing this vid - that will kill the vid before I can even get more than 30 seconds laid.

2. renenet do not read behind the cut. I'll bookmark and you can read later after you rightfully tear this down.

What is up for discussion is process, process, process --- I normally don't write these things down, but this *is* how I do generally think about a vid when I first go into it.
