More recs

Since I'm not writing today (blocked, again) I am at least reccing stuff....

VID:
Flight Plan by Wicked Amp
SONG: Chop Suey
ARTIST: System of a Down
FOOTAGE: AtS S4
My comment: Visually interesting. At first I thought it was too flashy, making too much use of special effects (and I just realized I barely have the verbal inventory to review vids), and I didn't like the song much either. I thought both the song and the vid were too.... loud, I guess. But now both are among my favorites. It's loud and aggressive and it's cool viewing. Off the beaten track.

FIC:
She Dreams in Red by Hold_that_thought
PAIRING: none, this is about Cordy
RATING: R
GENRE: darkfic, short fic
SPOILERS: set after AtS S4 'Home'
SUMMARY: Cordelia still has layers
My omment: A dark tale, effectively woven, that doesn't force-feed the reader but is evocative and specific where necessary. I enjoyed the language and thought the story was more than plausible. It's short, so you'll hardly notice there's no Spike in it.

Oops, would you believe that for some reason I'd forgotten that *you're* hold_that_thought? I missed the post in your lj.

Hee!! Very understandable, and you're not alone in forgetting. The downfall of having too many 'net names ;) Thanks again :)

Maybe you should get rid of the Fluffy Battle Kitten nomer...

The vid by Wicked Amp that hooked me is "Playground Lover." Great song. Great effects (most of the time. I had a problem with a couple, but the idea was realized very well). Also, Wicked Amp's anime vids are quite a sight to behold. "Million Miles" played at Vividcon and was really good.

I agree, some of the effects are gratuitous, but some work extremely well. Her vids are definitely visually interesting. Yes, Playground Lover is great as well.
