I've been hanging out online, basking in the glow. People seem to really like "Last Stand." The amount of feedback I've received so far has been astounding. The last time I got this level of feedback, this early on, was "Golden Years." I think it's the slash - and I can't name off the top of my head more than 4 Buffy or Angel slash vids, out of, I don't know, billions? This seems so strange to me - most of the vids that I have seen in other fandoms have been slash and both Buffy and Angel rely so heavily on the subtext, so the material is there - could it be the Spuffy? Could the Spuff have contaminated even the beautiful world of slash? I don't get it. Yeah, I'm all for Spike and Buffy getting together eventually (well I am still shipping this week - and still hoping it will pass) but the Spike/Angel dynamic is by far, IMO, more interesting, complicated and angsty. Maybe I feel this way because all of the Spuffy vids I started last week are being moved to the undead vid folder. I might pull them back out if the storyline arcs a certain way.

"Mission Temple" seems to be vidding itself, which is very cool. Spike is filled with the righteous anger of the Lord - always a good thing ;) Never thought I would be on board for redemption, but here I am. Shit.

I think anyone can be redeemed by giving it good to Xander. May I pause here and add, Mmmm...Xander. *sigh*
