Kickin' it old skool: Vividcon premieres vid for Miami Vice

[gwyn]

Planning on doing a con report later, and I can't get access to my Club Vivid premiere vid since my hard drive won't mount, but here is the premieres vid and streaming version. I decided this year to go old skool even though I knew it wouldn't connect with people at the con, just because I've wanted to make this vid for literally 20 years and for various reasons, never could. But killabeez apparently likes editing music, so I asked her to edit Red Rain for me, and it finally all came together. The one thing that makes me sad is that Sandy and I used to talk about this vid idea constantly back in the days when we had no way to get decent source, and it's hard to finally make it without her. The best I could have hoped for was that the audience wouldn't laugh, but I expected in a way that some people might find it funny. One person did ask me, very nicely, if it was supposed to be serious or funny, and I appreciated that she asked -- I consider any interpretation of vids as valid, but of course, you don't necessarily want people to sneer at things, either.

Anyway, here it is: (the link to the DL will be a bit delayed until a bit later today)

Vast majority? Damn, I wish! Most of the good slash is Crockett/Castillo.

Really? It's been quite a few years since I've read any MV. I'll definitely have to give it another look-see!

There was never that much online, and what I've found has been mostly shorter and less good at... uh... fundamentals (like spelling). There are some excellent gen zines that read like episodes and a bunch of Crockett/Castillo zines that varied. (Sorry, you probably know all that already?)

Yeah, it's definitely a split between timeframes. I don't know why the net has been mostly S/R, with zines being so heavily C/C. I know there are still a lot of C/C fans out there, desperately trying to find more fic. ;-)

And a lot of the zine C/C has never made it online. I found some good stuff in the zine library at Escapade one year, surprised the hell out of me!

I think the real answer is that there just aren't that many MV fic writers, especially now, so it's down to a couple of people's particular taste. I think there were always people who liked S/R; there just weren't zine editors willing to publish that. I'm not sure why there aren't more new C/C stories though. Maybe it's just that there are so few new stories of any kind. It also seems like the backbone of some of those zines was specific authors who had a strong story in every C/C zine, and since they're no longer in MV fandom, they're no longer inspiring all of the other people to write more C/C.

Actually I didn't know that. It's been quite a few years since I've read MV and I came into fanfic pretty much after the zine heyday. So thanks for the info.
