The Week in Reruns... (Sweeps Week comes to an end)

[kag523.livejournal.com]

 

It’s Saturday... and the last day of my No-Takebacks Sweeps Week daily postings.  Tomorrow, Naz will announce the winner of the Bigger / Better challenge and all trades (on the comm at least) will close.  You have all been amazing in sharing the creative spark that makes this fandom so great.  I’ve completely enjoyed coming up with challenges for the week.  Thank YOU for making it such an awesome experience.

Today’s last activity is a little more laid back, and it takes on the very thing we all came to fandom – in greater or lesser extents – to find. 

Closure

This could be for certain elements of character development, plotline and resolution.  Rather than listing the things that frustrated you in fandom, (see the book cover below), let’s focus on the fics or vids or other fandom-related items which provided some sense of closure for our ship as BSG came to a close.

 

For me, it’s actually a vid by wand3rlust, which made me sob the first time I saw it.  I teach film, so I tend to not ‘see’ things the same way as everyone else, but this one completely absorbed me and left me feeling absolutely raw at the end.  I cannot explain why, but the reversal provided an acceptance of the end of Kara Thrace better than almost any other fic I’ve read (or written) and I’m in awe of the skill it took her to make it.  You can find it HERE or on her LJ.

To end off our television focus I have a recut for the Office...

 

And I also have another vid to post today, but that one will come a little later.   My exporter program is fighting me tonight, so I’m giving up for now, and will post a little later (once I’ve had a few hours sleep.)

Again – thanks for bringing the enthusiasm to a fandom that is now two years post-finale.  You ROCK shippers!  K :>)

P.S.  The Manips I owed you from yesterday can be seen on yesterday's page.  Enjoy!

I love the idea that your closure is just an acceptance of what happened. It isn't that you have to LIKE the idea of poof. (And I've never said that, despite feeling like I've come to accept the ending.) But that you understand what was being done.

Sorry - no vids offhand, but I'll post them if I think of them! :>)

Yeah, actually listening to the cast talk about the ending, and the fact that they're satisfied with it is surprisingly helpful. I still think they're wrong wrong wrong about some things, but, okay.

Yes please! Youtube seems to only want to give me stuff from 2008 and later. I want it ALL!
