So... you know how I posted a couple of months ago saying 'whee! I am off meds and all is AMAZING AND GREAT!'? Yeeaaaaaaaaaaah.... slightly premature, hence my long silence
( Read more... )
Awesome - I mean, not awesome that you had to go through that stress, but awesome that you are now emerging from it. Sometimes fandom takes a lull, you know? I'm trying to work out how to balance my relative lack of desire to vid stuff (cus I don't have A Show right now, mostly, I think) with the fact I really miss the act of vidding, but when I do vid I'm so slow. I'm trying to just not freak out about it and see how I feel.
But one thing I really wanted to say was 10TH KINGDOM! OMFG I LOVED THAT! I have the DVDs somewhere and screw it, I'm gonna go find 'em and rewatch 'em all right now. Thanks for reminding me!
Ahh, yeah... I find lull times really hard as a vidder. Vidding is my main creative outlet--I feel better when I vid. But sometimes you can't summon up inspiring material straight away. I've usually used those times to play around with things I'm less invested in (and have appreciated things like festivids at such time since vidding for someone else is a big motivator for me).
10th KINGDOM IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOD!!! :D Seriously, why don't they make shows like this any more?? Especially after the bullshit of Once Upon A Time, it shone wonderfully ... so much more coherent and well plotted and great characters... and very playful with the fairytale potentials--like they actually *knew* what they had in their hands (unlike OUAT which squandors all its opportunities). It made for a very good light watch at a time when I was off the charts anxious--good distraction.
This post is so timely, we're all missing you a lot at VVC. As always I love hearing from you, even if it's just once in a blue moon, to keep track how things are going for you. Good that you are now starting to 'emerge on the other side' after all this tough stuff. Hope it continues in that direction.
There are a lot of good vids to enjoy from VVC and I'm hoping some of them are appealing to you even if you're not 'feeling' that much in fandom at the moment. But, YAY, Farscape!, I'm all their with you!
Btw, I noticed that you're listed in the VVC programme. Did you let them know you needed to roll-over again? Or did you just forfit your registration?
Thank you! :) I hope you're having a great time at VVC--have been half keeping an eye on Twitter ;).
So far I haven't seen many but I liked Laura's Britta vid very much--it's probably the one one I've seen that touched my heart so far. Lots of super-fun big action pieces, of course, but I'm in a quieter mood. ;)
LOL, I probably forfited my registration... I DON'T EVEN KNOW!!! There were a couple of months there where I was seriously so brainwrecked I have no idea ... I did fail to reply to greensilver's query about a vid... (just found in my neglected inbox) ... I guess I supported Vividcon anyway? (I HAVE NO MEMORY OF SENDING MONEY, GULP.)
Sorry to hear the withdrawal turned out to be so awful, glad to hear you're recovering from it! I'm also glad that Farscape is giving you feelings and share your lack of fannishness over new fandoms. Your projects sound fun and challenging and it seems like you've done well with them, which is awesome.
Mm, well I survived them. ;) I'll count that as 'doing well' for the meantime ;) Everything would have been a lot better had I not tried to do it all at once (or if I'd just locked myself in a room for two months).
Yeah, Farscape was a revelation to me, even though people kept telling me to persist with it... never expected it to get SO DARK and so heartbreaking. Was/am a mess at the end of season 3 and really need a break before I can watch on any further. But it was good, of course, to watch something that actually moved me on a level current shows don't really (even the ones I like are damn flawed).
*hugs* I'm sorry you had to go through that but it's great that you managed to get through it and you're better than before! Yay for being busy and hanging out with friends! That sounds fun. The part about your car sucks, and I am glad you're okay.
I can relate to not being very fandom-ish. I mean, I read fics and all but I don't feel as involved in any one fandom these days.
PS. I have strangely been missing Smallville lately. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE FINALE THIS HAS HAPPENED. SMALLVILLE. I go through periods of forgetting about it and then suddenly, one day I'll really miss it. It's weird.

I don't "know" you. We hardly "talk" on LJ. But I love seeing your post and knowing you are still hanging in there.
I still LOVE your (Smallville) vids best of all and have them on my iphone and still watch them on a "I-need-a-Tommy/Smallville-fix" basis.
Wishing you love and laughter and happiness always!!!
Thanks.

Yeah, fannishness goes in waves... so it's fine really--I am grateful for the space I had to focus on my recovery.
I actually thought it would take me YEARS to miss Smallville, I was so burnt out at the end. ;) But turns out I can have pangs!
