So I finally posted to the Buffyverse Top 5....

Posting my top 5 fanvid recs list in this round of TBT5 ended up being more challenging than I thought it would be! For one thing, [livejournal.com profile] endeni and [livejournal.com profile] petzipellepingo both rec'd two vids I had on my list ( here and here respectively); just yesterday I wished that more people would post non-fic rec lists. I gotta be careful what I wish for!

Also, my post honestly took me half the day to complete; I'd probably be a lot faster if I actually wrote out a list beforehand, maybe? (Like that'll happen.)  If I'd been faster and included all the ones I'd intended to I might have been able to put up another 5 vids; I may be able to find a couple more because the mods are strict on the 5 recs per post rule, and there's a couple of vids I hate to leave off, including Kayennatic's elegant and mournful Buffy character study, "O 'Death" .

Anyway only about four people, myself included have put up rec lists so far  - [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip has 5 favorite Willow fics - so there's plenty of room for participation. The more the merrier, come join the party!

Last year I had a lot of fun doing meta rec lists because no one else was doing them. This year I'm having to work harder to find meta - it's THERE but just scattered all over the internet.

I just posted another vid rec list and again it took me all day - it's all the LINKS and tabs I have to open and blah blah blah and oh, yeah, my memory is kind of sucky and I'm indecisive....blah blah.

But it's still fun to do because I love seeing what everyone else links to. Such a great way to find new things - or things by people I love but have somehow overlooked.
