This rocked my socks

On Fandom_wank at journalfen, Virago said, in a discussion of Fairuza Balk and Return to Oz from someone's icon:

"Tangential to that, I saw a songvid not long ago that impressed the hell out of me by mixing Fairuza Balk's role in that with her role in The Craft (okay, one scene of it) to cook up a scenario where Dorothy was schizophrenic. Fun stuff."

No sewing. But I did accomplish vidding! "Birds of Prey March" is finally coming together after kicking my butt for 2 months.

That is very cool. And I bet she hadn't sent you feedback on the vid, right? It's funny how people are impressed enough with something to tell other people but not the creator.

You're being very coy by not spelling out in your LJ entry that the vid she was referring to was your "Asylum" vid. :) So I'll spell it out for the benefit of anyone else who might read this.

I wasn't being coy, just lazy.

Mudd was over my shoulder going "C'mon, the kids are asleep. Let's watch Queer as Folk!"

And oh man was it worth it. Hot boysex, mrower!

I can imagine! I haven't gotten to see much QaF, but what I have seen was captivating. Mmmm. :)

Uh-oh, there's an echo in here :)

I've seen this happen before -- comments posting double. Something to do with servers not synching up. But if we delete one, they'll both disappear.

Just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean to sound snarky about the woman not sending you feedback before. I was actually thinking something very positive: That it's just funny that it seems to be a remarkably common quirk of human nature to tell other people but not to think to send feedback, *but* that that means that there may be all kinds of positive buzz about something a person has done that she doesn't know about, and the fact that she's not getting feedback doesn't mean squat-diddle. Like Larrkin telling me that two of her friends had talked about Sanctuary Moon as an impressize zine -- while Alex and I were seriously wondering what people thought of it, since we hadn't heard a peep. Or the way I was so blown away by Cara Loup's stories that it took me about 4 months to get up the nerve to e-mail her at all. So that was what I was thinking, that there may be more positive feedback out there than we actually hear. I just kinda forgot to actually connect the dots in my comment.

Nice words about your work! Where would I be able to see that vid?

All our vids are at

It's the next to the last one: Veteran of the Psychic Wars.

Enjoy!
