New Vid!  - Another seasonal of sorts - more of a traditional ghost story than festive fluff with snow. ' A Christmas Ghost Story' contains all the angst from 'Amends'  that was omitted from my other Christmas vidlets. Set to Transiberian Orchestra's instrumental medley - Christmas Eve Sarajevo. Click image to go to the vid.  I have also updated my awards for Fan Vids -  thanks go to Sunnydale Stories Awards, Beautiful Lie Awards, Poetry in Motion Awards &  Bring on the Night Awards.    I hope to post some last minute icons  and update my choices of the month very soon.

Also  there are a  couple of my Firefly fan vids in the Best of Year Round at EHI Awards, so if you liked them please vote for me.

4.12.06 Merry Christmas everyone (I know it's early but have you seen how fed up Angel is, waiting in that box?)

An early Christmas present for you all - Click above to go to my Seasonal page with Icons, Wallpapers and my vidlet 'Let It Snow'  - I made that back in 2004 and I hadn't been vidding very long, so it's fairly simple.  The other vidlet 'Santa Baby' will be up hopefully by the end of this week.  If time permits I may do another seasonal vid to add to this. I will also be adding more artwork as Christmas approaches.   Nominations are coming along wonderfully for the Art of Vidding Awards, click on the link left to see.   A huge thanks to Tami over at Sunnydale Stories Awards, my vid 'Temptation won eight awards including Best video, I am stunned and delighted.  New affiliates for Buffy and Angel Art - Crystal Illusions -  and also for the Art of Vidding Awards - see the links and the update page.

25.11.06 - Vid Choice of the Month has been added, I was going to keep these selections to just the whedonverse but I love Frivolity's vid so much it deserves the attention - action packed and hilarious in true comic book style - it will blow your socks off!     Remember if you enjoy the choices too, then please feedback to the creator - it will really be appreciated.   I have updated my awards for fan vids and there is a new Eliza Dushku wall in the digital art section.  The Art of Vidding Awards opens in just 5 days and I will also be uploading a special Seasonal Section with my Holiday Vids, original and digital art - so be sure to check back.

This is the first time my vids have been shown to an audience of more than 2 people  so needless to say I am delighted and  would loved to have been there and seen the reaction but I guess that'll be at another event.
