Trick-or-treat meme!

In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!

Happy Halloween weekend, everyone!

Trick or treat! XD

In honor of Halloween, have a clip of Vincent Prince in a graveyard.

Vincent Price singing in a graveyard.

Vincent Price singing Gilbert & Sullivan in a graveyard.

In other words: RUDDIGORE! *g*



And, since I got this meme from you, here's a bonus Illya Kuryakin fanvid I found on youtube:

[identity profile] justice-turtle.livejournal.com 2011-10-29 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my gosh, VINCENT ACTUAL PRICE was Sir Despard in the Opera World version?

...I need to (finally) watch this movie now. *plots to get to the library*

(My family will be most nonplussed. We just saw Vincent Price as a lunatic billionaire in what was possibly the weirdest '50s romance movie ever, "Champagne for Caesar". ...I suppose I could go on a Vincent Price B-movies kick... XD)

On another note: yay Illya! I keep meaning to rewatch MFU, but my attention span schedule precludes it. o_O Which is what fanvids are for! ALL THE ILLYA. *virtual snorgles* ;-)

Yes, VINCENT ACTUAL PRICE as Sir Despard Murgatroyd! His singing isn't that great, and he doesn't exactly look like Robin's younger brother, but he gets into the role and overall it's a fun production.

Oooooh, fun!
Trick or Treat!

Hi, just a quick note to say no, I haven't skipped you, I'm just still mulling over your treat. : )

[identity profile] dbskyler.livejournal.com 2011-11-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so I was really hoping that I would be able to write you a little something as a treat, but it didn't work out. (Bad muse, bad! No biscuit!) So, back to youtube I went, because for some reason I am really into fanvids at the moment. Here are two lesser-known SJS fanvids that I like a lot. Of course, you may have seen them already, but even if you have, hope you enjoy them again. Happy Halloween!

I had not seen either of these and they are both really great! Thanks!

OH SARAH JANE. HOW ARE YOU DEAD. IT IS NOT RIGHT. :-(

Here's a Freema fanvid that I found on youtube. Hope you enjoy!

Oh yes, that vid of [livejournal.com profile] mischief89's is very good. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it.

[identity profile] dbskyler.livejournal.com 2011-10-30 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
I should have guessed you'd seen that fanvid already. It really is marvelous, though. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it myself, and I just found it! :D

Here's another one that you've probably seen, but I find that it's always worth a re-watch -- Calapine's fanvid celebrating female characters:

I can guarantee I've already seen any fanvid made by DWDeb - and probably 95% of fanvids featuring Freema...

And yes, I've Calapine's fanvid too.

Trick or treat!

#look, I'm getting better at this...!

[identity profile] dbskyler.livejournal.com 2011-10-30 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hooray!

Let's see. I recently discovered [community profile] crack_van, a multifandom rec community, and look, they have a whole bunch of fanfic recs for The West Wing and Blake's 7 and a whole bunch of other stuff.

And since I've been having so much fun poking around on youtube lately, here, have a fanvid about Janeway's hair:

Yay! :-) I know [livejournal.com profile] crack_van but I really hadn't thought of it as a guide through the seas of B7 and WW, in which I am frequently adrift when I try to navigate. (Just the quote from one about Avon being logical about who should pair off with whom, going the size of the bunks.,. Oh, Avon, Avon...)

And :lol: at the vid, especially since I had seen one about Janeway's hair that was cool - and then this was a different one about Janeway's hair. There are times when fandom is just great.

[identity profile] dbskyler.livejournal.com 2011-10-31 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
There are two vids about Janeway's hair? Fandom is indeed an awesome thing. : )

Oh, yes. Same song, but definitely two different vids! (I had to go see if it was still around or I'd been hallucinating. Although, argh, the danger of looking for Janeway vids - if I get sucked into clicking on Kate Mulgrew interviews, I'm lost.)

Oooh, you're more hooked into fandom stuff than I am, so what can I find for you?

Are you familiar with the Four/Romana fic Let's Do It by charamei? It's one of my favorite fics, but it's not on Teaspoon or LJ, so I think it's not too well known. Author's summary: "The Doctor and Romana try to make sense of this 'romance' thing." PG rating.

Did you know that someone's already made a Ringer fanvid? It's really good, too!

Finally, in honor of Halloween, let me link you to the nerdiest, most genius idea for a jack-o-lantern I have ever seen.

Thanks! I didn't know about any of these things before. Going to check them out. :)
