the thing and the thing

Many happy returns and piles of gay pants to tzikeh, who has given us all so much joy with... well, gay pants, and Ritzes and toads, and icons and cons, and all manner of good stuff. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Don't forget -- our fandom is middle-aged!

Elsewhere, minim_calibre has an interesting post about communication in the age of LJ with an unusual spin.

Would anyone be interested in betaing a Laura Roslin-centric character study vid? I'm not quite finished noodling with it, but I'd like to get more than my usual one opinion, as I'm feeling very concerned about this. I'm not asking for someone who'd just want to see it first -- I want someone to answer a couple of important questions for me, so there's thinky involved. I'm happy with much of it, and I'm not interested in a full on clip by clip dissection at this point, but if there are parts that don't work, I'd like to know why the beta thinks so. (Why do I not have a Roslin or Adama icon? I need to fix this, stat.)

And lastly, does anyone have, or know of someone who has, decent Witchblade source of the entire series? I have the movie on tape, and I taped all of first season for feochadn, but my access to second season disappeared a while ago, and I don't even know how much of first season Jo has around. I have this vid just burning a hole in my brain now for months and months, and I really want to make this, but am sourceless for much of what I need to do. I will of course pay postage, do whatever, if you have access.

Funny enough, I lost my SVHS tape of the pilot, and I sent the rest of my S1 tapes to Merry. But I do have all of S2 on DVDs I recorded from SVHS.

On the downside, they were recorded from TNT with the sometimes obnoxious station ID banners, and they are also a bit on the washed out side. I'd be happy to send them to you, and you can see if they're usable. I think they might be if you lowered the midlevels a bit.

GF bought the show on DVD (TV tv rips) from a fan who sells the DVDs on

I'd be happy to take a look at your Roslin vid.

Gwyneth -

I'd be happy to beta the vid, if you like. I'm not sure what type of feedback you are looking for, so here's my background.

I am a novice vidder. I've watched Galactica seasons 1 and 2A through ONCE, when they were released on DVD. I've read a handful of fanfic in that fandom and not seen a single vid.

So if you are looking for an informed outsider opinion, I'd be happy to oblige. If you need someone closer to the fandom or more technically-inclined, best keep searching.

If you still need people to look at the Roslin vid, I'd be happy to do so. I'm not as visually familiar with BSG as I am with other things since I haven't gone back and rewatched yet, but I have seen everything once.

Roslin vid!

I see you already have volunteers, but if you need more eyeballs, I volunteer mine.

I'm thrilled to death that you're vidding her. She's my favorite BSG character by far. ::loves::
