fajrdrako | Torchwood vid rec... (Reply)

One of the things I love about Doctor Who and Torchwood fandom is the music vids.

There were some brilliant vids in Horatio Hornblower fandom, and I have some old favourites from The Professionals, but it isn't an aspect of fandom I participate in - I just appreciate the good vids when I find them. That used to be a matter of going to conventions, or sharing CDs by mail with other fans, but thanks to new web venues like Megauploads and YouTube, it's vid heaven.

At least for this Doctor Who and Torchwood fan. There seem to be three types of vid: the ones where I can't tolerate the music; the ones that seem to have no point; and the others, the beautiful, clever, well-crafted ones that make me laugh and pull me in and sometimes break my heart. In Torchwood fandom, it's a bonus when the vid is done to a John Barrowman song. Dare I ask vidders of the world for more of that? Pleae? Begging you on bended knee?

This rambling is all a prelude to a recommendation of

emiloy's new Jack/Doctor vid to Vicki Carr's version of I will wait for you, which... well, thematically and musically, it's just as right as it can be and it still breaks my heart.
