My Plans to Earn Better Fandom Shame

[sisabet]

rubywisp calls us out and says that "kita0610 wanted fandom shame, not fandom I'm-slightly-twitchy-with-embarrasment."

And I am filled with WOE - WOE!! Because I will never, ever never top "Little One" unless...

1. I could try to vid Spike and Angel to The Cars "You Might Think" and use AE and photoshop to put Spike in a little putt-putt car and drive it up and around Angel's shoulders and even up his nose.

Oh - I could digitally convert the bugs that attack Spike in "Grave" to all have little Angel-Heads for the line "All I want is you."

And that still would not top Little One.

2. I could actually get all of my existing notes together and write The Lethal Weapon Spike-Angel Connection as serious fanfic.

I could actually do this - I have NOTES!! Many, many notes - from waaaay before the end of Buffy or Angel S4 so I could GO HARD AU:

Okay - so I want Spike to be suicidal and live in a broken down travel trailer by the beach and let his hair be brown and grown out and wake up and lay in bed and smoke and get up and immediately grab and beer and for all intents and purposes be suicidally on the edge. Cause that would be hot. There was a problem with my Lethal Weapon formula though - I can see Spike on the edge and suicidal - hell we've seen him almost there before - but the vampire thing kinda ruins the human frailty issue. It also makes the gunplay very very silly and the chances of living in a travel trailer fairly remote.

3. I could then follow up on Spike as Martin Riggs (and damn - I'd get to electrocute his shiny white ass! Oh man, I am sooo tempted) with Darien and Bobby on Fantasy Island and again - I HAVE NOTES ON HOW THIS WOULD WORK!

And even if I did all of this - even after doing all of this - I still would not top "Little One" because man...

::thinks harder::


Maybe if I vidded Angel/Lindsey to "I Need a Hero"? How 'bout then?

OMG I CAN TOP IT!!! I thought about it and thought about it and thought about it and now I know what to do!

I will vid Spike/Angel to "Sweet Childe of Mine" and I will then be legend!

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

You are forgiven.

Just forgodsake don't do it. *G*

More than peanut butter on toast!!

How about vidding Spuffy (insert any pairing here actually,) to "The Dance" by Garth Brooks. With Spuffy, you could overdub moments in the song with quotes from "Fool for Love"

...and I'm glad I didn't know...

"All we've ever done is dance."

...the way it all would go...

CUT TO:

In Buffy-Vidding one has to actively seek her shame. Sigh, the competition is enormous.

I thought for sure there would be more than one vid for that song out there. I don't know if I feel relieved or disappointed.

However, I think that someone should make you an icon of Spike's face on an animated fly.

*sneaks in and hopes Kita doesn't catch me*

Omg. I'm in tears. I think I may need to add this post to my memories. I'd kill to see the 'You might think' and 'I need a hero' vids.

[kimera.livejournal.com]

I think #3 beats mine- The Seven and Darien and Bobby team up (erm, ATF-universe Seven, because Bobby and Darien in the Old West would just be kinda weird).

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Time travel and I-Man.

Yeah, I'll go there.

[kimera.livejournal.com]

But who would look better in the poncho?

1. I could try to vid Spike and Angel to The Cars "You Might Think" and use AE and photoshop to put Spike in a little putt-putt car and drive it up and around Angel's shoulders and even up his nose.

Dude. If you did that you would be my *hero.* HERO, I tell you. I might even wear sequins and serenade you a-la Bette Midler.

And that is just a scary thought now.

Linzee

[renenet.livejournal.com]

Okay, you know that she would make you do all the Photoshop and Eunice do all the AE, right? It would be vidding through subcontracting. She could put out RFPs and shit. Hmm....

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

But...but....a little car! Up Angel's nose! It'd be for a brilliant cause.

Really.

Linzee, rather disturbed at how well I can visualize that.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

You really know me too well. That was, indeed, the plan.

Hey - all of these ideas can really wear a gal out!

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

How about vidding Angel/Lindsey to "Whatcha Going to do with a Cowboy?"

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm - now for some reason I have an Angel/Lindsey vid stuck in my head to "Are You Gonna Go My Way" which is really weird cause everyone knows that song is about Buffy. Hmmm.

[piper47.livejournal.com]

You know you could always vid the BuffyBot to a Brittney Spears song and... wait... I think you did that already. ;)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Shut it! Hee.

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

You could do any of the horrors I threatened to make you do last year. Let's see, there was the Lorne vid to "It's Not Easy Being Green" with a chorus by the Yanomano Indians, and what about the Gunn vid to the Mikado's song?

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Hey - I am STILL plotting the Gunn vid.

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

Hey, the punishment fits the crime! If that wasn't poor Gunn in S5 . . .

Guess what? I was just poking around on my hard drive, and guess what I found? Both versions of Laid!

I can't find Jack and Diane, though. It must be on another PC.

[onelittlesleep.livejournal.com]

Wait, A Spike vid to Gordon Lightfoot *wasn't* good enough?!

Holy crap, these gals are rutheless...

Uhmm, do you have a link to that Spike vid? I would love it.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Hee - right click and save as:

http://headtilt.com/VideoThatSucks.WMV

[onelittlesleep.livejournal.com]

*gasp*

This. Is. Brilliant!

I nearly fucking died watching this. I love how unnervingly appropriate Gordon Lightfoot is for a Spike vid. If you made more...o dear god, I would make a fan club.

Maybe if I vidded Angel/Lindsey to "I Need a Hero"? How 'bout then?

Just too good to be bad, sister!

Thanks for sharing...
