Spinning on that dizzy edge

I want a pony, and a Tardis, and a return of SGA but written by fangirls...

Wait, no, Festivids!

To my most esteemed Festividder:

I am already tickled pink and excited about anything you might bestow on me. This is my first time participating in Festivids, and I am still a bit nervous about offering up my services, as n00b as they are. So really, the fact that someone would create a vid for me? Awesomesauce on a frabjous cake.

To put it simply, I love vids in almost all shapes and sizes. I love ones that make me laugh, and ones that make cry. Ones that make me bop in my seat, and ones that suck me in, *chinhanding* until the end. Ones with shiny effects and ones with simple but effective clipping - both will leave me wondering "How did they do that?"

I must admit, sometimes I will twitch at aspect ration incongruities, but feh. Glass houses throwing black kettles at pots...or something.

As to my specific requests, let me repost my original choices, but now with more babbling! (Please don't be scared, or scarred, or run away screaming. I'm harmless!)

( The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension )

( American Gothic )

( Animaniacs Pinky & The Brain )

( Babylon 5 )

( Real Genius - 1985 )

( Chuck )

( Eureka )

( A Dog's Breakfast )


I hope I haven't scared you off entirely, my dear Festividder, because I look forward to seeing the end result. Good luck, and may it bring you joy in the work.

Title: Gonna Be 500 Miles
Author: grammarwoman
Prompt: Willow Rosenberg walks into a bar and meets... Ducky!
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, NCIS
Word count: 1500
Rating/Warnings: G, vague spoilers for the start of Buffy Season 7

Author’s Notes: My entry for the intoabar challenge, originally posted here. The title is taken from the Proclaimers song - it seemed to work nicely, as this is set in Edinburgh and they’re proud sons of Leith. (The fact that Google Maps says it’s about 400 miles from Westbury, where Willow was hanging with the coven, to Edinburgh was the cherry on top.)


Gonna Be 500 Miles

( Ducky nursed his drink, a lovely aged Scotch. He chuckled, pondering how it bore a certain resemblance to himself. )

Title: The Once and Future Weevil
Author: grammarwoman
Fandom/Character/Setting: Veronica Mars, Weevil/OFC (but really gen), future!fic
Rating: PG-13 for language
Word count: 2000
Author's notes: Written for inlovewithnight's Holiday Catchallthon 2008. Thanks for running this, 'Night. You've prompted some brilliant stories.

harmonyangel requested "Veronica Mars. Weevil future!fic. What does the future hold for him? Does he have a chance of making it out of his circumstances? Any pairings, het or slash, are fine (though I'd prefer no crossgen pairings). But gen is good, too." I hope this comes close to meeting your request.

Title: Send in the Clone
Author: grammarwoman
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis, spoilers up to 5X07 "Whispers".
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 7800
Author's notes: For undermistletoe's prompt "Day 11 - Soap Opera Tropes (Someone's got an evil twin, falls down an elevator shaft, switches a paternity test, etc.)". Many thanks to svmadelyn for hosting this year's challenge. I took a loose interpretation of evil twin and twisted it into cloning. Hey, it's canon for the show, right? Many apologies for being a dirty, dirty tease and leaving it on a cliffhanger. The rest should be up tomorrow. After all, it's par for the course for a soap opera.


Summary: The best-laid schemes o' Michael an' men turn into the best-laid times for Rodney.


Send in the Clone

( In a small lab in the heart of a secret base somewhere in the Pegasus galaxy, organic vents hissed gusts of steam and strange veins of lights flashed. Michael’s fingers flickered over a computer screen and stopped on a blinking element. )
