Vid Recs posted in November Part 5[x]
[some kind of title] - Merlin Vid Recs! Oh yes, indeed.: The Bitch Prince by wistful_fever. Oh, how do I love this vid? Let me count the ways. No, there are too many. Code Word: Chapstick by nixwilliams & sajee. The music is a cover of that Katy Perry song, but this version puts a different slant on the song just by virtue of a male singer. Chasing Cars by peri7766hhyeg. Gwen/Merlin. Aw, my 2nd favorite pairing. The Choice by nel_ani. Gorgeous instrumental music. Only In My Mind by lightofshadows6. Love the texture of this one. 10,000 Nights by mamoru22. Merlin/Arthur. Utterly adorable! It makes me grin. All Fall Down by bleu4bleu. OH BOYS. Everything You Want by anime_fangirl_3. Merlin/Arthur. I think this has some interesting lyric choices, such as "places you might have turned" for Gwen. Open Your Eyes by summersparkle2. Gwen/Merlin, Morgana/Arthur. Rehab also by summersparkle2. A pairings extraveganza! Gwen/Merlin, Merlin/Arthur, Arthur/Morgana, Gwen/Lancelot. I've just seen Merlin by jedicathy. Arthur/Merlin. Fun & charming! Yay!

A Dreamer's Paradise - Weekly Fandom Ramble...A bit heavy on Mars & Simm with Vid Recs: I've been a bit obsessed with Life on Mars and John Simm in general this week. The first one is set to Viva La Vida and is made by petrat76. Featuring the AU that has Sam remembering when he ruled the world as a psycopathic Time Lord. This song fits the Master so well, it even mentions the sound of drums. One more for the Master. Don't Play Nice by crycraven. And now for a Life on Mars video by loz4321 set to Maybe Tomorrow (with some dialogue). And one more Life on Mars vid by lilonion79 done to Walk Through Fire.

Xina Marie Uhl - Vic Rec and Fic - Castiel!: I love this Castiel vidlet by vespertanmer: Missionary Man.

[some kind of title] -: The Master and the Bad Horse Chorus by jetpack_monkey. Doctor Who. The Master really wants to be in the Evil League of Evil. Titanic: The Sequel by mrderekjohnson (YouTube). Fake movie trailer. This is the craziest crack I've seen in a long time. Just...watch it all the way through. I think my favorite part is the visor that says "Diamond Finder." I really love this person's brain.

RabidRaeann - Doctor Who Vid Recommendation, too!: Since I was over on YouTube anyway...I thought I would check on how my vids were doing...and that led to surfing...and surfing led to this lovely Rose/Doctor vid...which many of you have probably seen...but not enough of you have, I bet. Queen of my Heart by NightTimeWish.

RabidRaeann - Eccleston Fans...HELP!: I am looking for a vid featuring Eccleston in his many roles and set to the music of Suzie B. Hawkins, "Damn, I wish I was your lover."

lexandros: Okay, I need to go babysitting in a minute: I just have to rec this Merlin vid by bleu4bleu first. It's Merlin/Arthur (duh) and pretty angsty - emphasis being on the pretty (duh). How so damn gorgeous, Mr Bradley James? Man, I can't wait to see all those amazing Arthur-vids that are bound to surface as the series progresses.

lexandros: Drive-by Merlin vid recs:Choise by nel_a: Drive-by Merlin vid recs: Choise by nel_ani uses Yann Tiersen's song "Comptine d'un autre été" from the Amélie soundtrack. It's a really gorgeous, angsty vid that didn't entirely work for me on the first viewing but which I just fell in love with when rewatching - such a beautiful and touching vid! Code word: Chapstick is an episodic vid of "The Gates of Avalon" by nixwilliams and sajee. The song is "I Kissed A Girl" but what makes it awesome is that this time it's sung by a guy, Max Vernon. I honestly don't think the Katy Perry original has anything queer about it but this version makes the song work on a whole new level. The vid is pretty damn queer, too. I find myself enjoying it more each time I watch it. The vid has a fresh and original feel to it compared to a lot of Merlin/Arthur vids simply by concentrating on that one time Prince Arthur kissed a girl.

bironic: Garak/Bashir resurfaces in my life.: I found some Garak/Bashir vids on YouTube. Here's an example that isn't half bad: Flawed Design, by diftorhehsmusma. The music is perfect for Garak, the clips fit the lyrics even if they don't always cut away soon enough or match the beat the way I'd like them to, and the footage is astonishingly suggestive. It shouldn't be, I suppose, when at least one of the actors (Robinson/Garak) was deliberately playing his character to be attracted to the other. Silencing the dialogue, which is usually snappy and requires concentration, might make the difference ... Obsidian Order Man. (Garak gen, humor, set to "Secret Agent Man.")

sunryse00: Vid Rec:The Lies of Handsome Men: The Lies of Handsome Men by dkwilliams. Multifandom. This is a love letter to all of us slash fangirls that marvel at the men of our dreams while separated by a computer monitor, television or movie screen.

Just Nel - Things that make me happy: This version of I Kissed A Girl and the vid attached to it. [code word: chapstick by nixwilliams and sajee].

c'est dur de mourir au printemps - oh dear: started watching merlin, even though i didn't want to at first... the promo pics didn't convince me at all. but the vids did... well, & now i actually love it to pieces enjoy it. it's fun, it's slashy and magic-y (which is always nice), it's got anthony head, a hot arthur plus a cute, dorky merlin. & there are cgi-dragons & such... which makes everything even more fun ;) bitch prince by wistful_fever. 'i'm a little bit of everything, all rolled into one' - oh yess. this is it! arthur/merlin... merlin is such a cute kid & arhur is a total bitch. but no worries, he is an angel underneath ;) (or at least, that's what merlin thinks). 10'000 nights by mamoru22. 'you're irresistable & i'm insatiable' - some more arthur/merlin, oh that cute, dorky pairing, ♥ (i wonder if you call it marthur or maybe arlin, *lol*) a bouncy, sweet vid, very wonderful.
This is an inclusive newsletter: I attempt to include all of the vid recs that I find. It is not, however, exhaustive. If you have suggestions for particular communities or journals to watch (particularly ones that use tags) or are interested in helping to collect links, please let us know.
