Ok, I'm a big old nerd. I love conventions, and fannish discussions, and all that. But one thing that has seemed to separate me from many of my fellow big ol' nerdish brethren (especially many of the ones most involved in conventions and discussions) is the fact that, well, I just don't like fanfic. On the one hand this has made me a little sad, and a little out of place since I still find myself interested in the sort of discussions going on at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metafandom etc, but on the other hand deep down I get to feel ever-so-slightly-less-patheticly-nerdy.
But no more. I have found my nerdy weakness, and it is fanvids.

nico_wolfwood first introduced me to them (in fact she makes her own(*)) but for some reason the anime stuff just doesn't do it for me. And then I saw a fanvid of all seven seasons of Buffy to "The William Tell overture"(**) and had to see more.
Except I didn't know where to find it, so after some fitfully fruitful googling gave up. And then I read this post onmetafandom, and then I discovered...the_reel. And then my fate was sealed.
So, as inspired by said post, here are all the fanvids I have seen that I really, really liked (hmm..turns out I do like some amvs after all).
Also, yes, still sick but less grumpy. Have compiled a list of suggested activities for work, not as good as I could have done were I well but hopefully good enough.
(*)Ooh! She's using my design! *ponders turning it into an lj-icon* EDIT: done!
(**)Also, looking for this I found the original unaired Buffy pilot, yay!

- Tainted Donuts A very clever melding of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (abridged) The one that started it all...
- Failed experiments in video editing
- "Spirderman" and "Oh Fortuna", both very amusing Buffy vids from Mr Monkeybottoms
- Deja Vu Maybe I just like this becuase I'm big pathetic Veronica Mars fangirl. Hey, at least I didn't link one of the ones I'm fairly sure I just like because they're about Logan :P
- Seven Nation Army Lord of the rings, the music is very effectively synced with the action
