[flummery]

Our Vividcon Premieres vid is up now:

Vid title: Handlebars
Song artist: Flobots
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Vidders: Seah and Margie (Flummery)
Vidder website: http://flummery.org
Summary: I'm the Doctor. Look me up.

Notes: Thanks to merryish for the all the help, and especially all the baking, without which this vid probably never would have been finished in time. (she made us say that -- but it's true anyway.)

Right-click to download: http://flummery.org/handlebars/handlebars_dw_flummery.avi

There's a streaming version up on our imeem (http://flummery.imeem.com), but it's a little stuttery in spots and we're not sure why. Hopefully we'll get it figured out and fixed soon.

Imeem went boom, so we put a streaming version up on our site, which you can watch there or here:

ETA April 17, 2012: Our streaming vids are temporarily offline while we look into a technical issue. Sorry! The download still works, and we'll get the streaming version back up as soon as we can.

How to say this and sound something like a sane person?

...I have been trying to say this in words for years. There have been maybe six people who even occasionally understood what the hell I was nattering on about. "Hey, you know all this crap Ten does? I don't like it. It goes too far. I don't think he's got the right and it's friggin' dangerous." "Hmm, that's an interesting take on his character." "No, really, seriously, it's not right." "Whatever."

Well, I don't know what you guys think of Ten or DW in general, but for even bringing this up... Thank you. Thank you so much. I am... god... almost in tears from gratitude right now. I couldn't explain why, but it means so much to me.

It would be an utterly brilliant and perfectly timed vid even if it didn't happen to push all my buttons. Seriously, I will bow to your genius forever. Thank you. *goes to pimp like hell to the six people who read her LJ*

Wow, thank you! And hey, that sounds totally sane, no worries. :) I'm fascinated (and incredibly happy!) with the way that people who react in all sorts of ways to the Doctor are reacting well to this vid -- so I think maybe more people than you think see the scary darkness in him, even if it's to varying degrees. So cool.

And thank you very much for the rec!!

Well, I sure hope so. ^^ I guess the problem seems to be that most people are content to view the darkness as just a part of his character, and I think it's gone way, way, way too far to be in any way acceptable. You can't argue about taste, but I'm damn tempted. ;D But I don't think there's really any denying at this point that the dark side's there. Like the vid shows so brilliantly, that much is pretty much indisputable fact. :) Just a question of how you react to it. So the people who react violently to it (like myself ^^) and the people who don't can all appreciate this... just maybe in slightly different ways. Possibly, "interesting, it could go this far" versus "thanks for pointing out that it already has". This is, may I point out, a heck of a feat. *doffs hypothetical hat*

(Of course, I'm not sure how well I really understand the people who don't react violently to Ten, so take the above analysis with a grain of salt. :D)

Glad to be able to rec it! It's a shame I wasn't exaggerating about my readership numbers ;) But I'm proud to do what little I can regardless.
