Fannish fun

One of my absolute favorite fanvids is available for download once again! I am ridiculously pleased about this.

Quite some time ago, I downloaded a couple of fanvids in different fandoms as I explored the giant pond that is fandom. This vid was among the group that I saved.

I can't even tell you how long the vid sat on my computer without my knowledge of its presence. I have no idea. I didn't discover it, in fact, until my laptop began to die and I began backing up files for the eventual worst-case scenario of ultimate laptop fail. Then, I found the file, opened it up, found the vid, and proceeded to flail at it's awesomeness. I watched multiple times in a row and the build is wonderful and moving and the scene at the end absolutely guts me every time. Yeah, I may have shed a bit of a tear. (Full disclosure: I shed tears at a lot of stuff though - emotional anything, pretty days, moving fic, and Hallmark commercials included, so YMMV)

I went searching for it online a while back in hopes of finding more from the creator, Killa, finding out if there were other versions, recs, etc. Sadly, I struck out - the vid was gone from the creator's page. But the creator has made it available once again, hence my squeeful post.

It's a TOS/original movies based Kirk/Spock fanvid set to Loreena McKennitt's Dante's Prayer. It is lovely and moving and I just want to curl up and snuggle it for a while. And now I have a version in even better quality! So snuggle I will.

(For my fellow Kirk/Bones shippers... yes, I still love them, and yet my love for them does not detract at ALL from my love for this vid.)
