Quick post of THINGS

[inkvoices]

> The BBC have released a missing scene Doctor Who P.S. about what happened to Brian and the Ponds after The Angels Take Manhattan. So, serious spoilers, people. And grab a tissue.)

> If you haven't heard the news, Agent Coulson is back in the SHIELD TV show (link to one of many articles). Does that mean that the show is set pre-Avengers? Or are the conspiracy theorists in with a chance of being right? Let the speculation commence! (And if the Agents in this show would like to speculate about Clint and Natasha on their coffee break whilst Coulson smiles enigmatically I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT.)

> Creative Support Group - The Beta Edition happening over at be_compromised. A chance to discuss anything and everything about beta reading, as a beta, a writer, or both.

> The War Was in Color by Settiai on YouTube remains the best STEVE FEEEEEELS vid ever. Footage from both Captain America, The Avengers, and The Avengers extra footage/deleted scenes. The editing is superb, the use of black and white fantastic, the matching of the lyrics to the clips amazing, and the story telling wonderful. FEEEEEELS.

Thank you so much for the vid rec! ♥

Oh, hello! I LOVE that vid, it deserves all the recs :D And Carry On, the accompanying Steve and Bucky vid as well. They're amazing. And The War Was in Color, it goes by so fast that I didn't realise how long it actually is until I checked - it must have taken you forever.

*sheepish grin*

I sat down in front of my computer around 9am on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, and I had my first draft finished around 11pm that night. Though there wasn't exactly any moving during those 14 hours. Luckily for my stomach that day, pizza places deliver late on holiday weekends. :-P

...that is impressive. Scary, but impressive *grins*. 'Have vid, pizza now', 'will vid for pizza' <3

*lol*

Yeah, I've always vidded that way. If I start a vid, I typically finish it in one sitting. Sometimes, if I really have something going on to keep me from spending an entire day working on it, I can manage to spread it out over two days. But, yeah. No more than that. (Though I then typically spend anywhere from 24 hours to two weeks getting it beta'd.)

I can do an icon batch in one sitting, but not a fic, and I certainly couldn't sit still and focus on something for 14 hours! And at the same time my brain is also going, 'but they did that amazing vid in only 14 hours' lol.

When it comes to fics, it really depends on how long it is. If it's something like 3000 words or less, I've been known to sit down for a couple of hours and churn it out. My concentration isn't as focused when it comes to writing fic as it is with vidding, though, so I tend to spread it out a lot more than I do with a vid.
