Award winning Mal and Simon Video! Download "Something (To Put In You)" which won first prize in the fanvid competition at the recent Starfury: Serenity Cubed convention in England.

I know you guys don't normally link to vids, but I hope you can make an exception for this one. It was left to the attendees to vote for the vids, and this won by an overwhelming amount. Even the celebrity guests seemed to like it - seeing Jewel Staite almost bent double in hysterics was a highlight of the weekend. Unfortunatly, Sean himself missed it but I really hope Jewel told him.

OK, I admit it, I LOL'd.

OMG, the celebrity guests? Was nathan there? man I would feel so embarassed for Sean if he was there. Damn that was funny.....

kurya | September 20, 03:18 CET

Nathan wasn't there, but from what we could tell, the full list of guests that saw it is Jewel, Mark Shepard, Nectar Rose, Michael Fairman and Christina Hendricks.

Seeing as Sean was shocked at discovering exactly what ships can be involved in fanfic ("Not Simon and River though? REALLY??"), I think he would have been a tad surprised at this.

Angelite | September 20, 03:25 CET

Oh so not even nathan saw this... OMG... wow..

And he didnt know about shipping and the notion of fanfic? He must have some idea after a certain point in the series, surely Joss(who I would imagine knows about such things) may have warned him, lol. Especially after that shirtless scene in Objects in Space. Maybe he was pretending he didn't know....

Oh and a related video... which is real life which I thought was cute(makes me think those two are aware of the type of fanfic out there) check out a small clip at the premiere of Serenity where Sean was giving an interview. There is a surprise. Here. love this video especially sean's reaction.

Oh. My. I suppose the / between their names should have tipped me off. Oh, there's so much I don't know about the world! ;-)

Still, I did think that at the end of that scene of Simon running downstairs (to the infirmary when he thought Kaylee was dead), it was going to cut to the scene of Mal waking up half-nekkid (from Serenity, when Wash sends him Inara's wave). I mean, I say that purely from an artistic point of view. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Seriously, dude, I think this board is a wicked influence on me. Wicked! Wicked!

Yay wicked influence! ;-)

But, I'm with Sean. Simon and River? Ewwwwwww!

billz | September 20, 03:41 CET

But, I'm with Sean. Simon and River? Ewwwwwww!

Totally agree.

ormaybemidgets | September 20, 04:04 CET

That song's been used in another vid I've seen. It was probably also a slashy vid.

Still firmly in the Simon/Jayne camp when it comes to the favored male Firefly pairings. Though if we go beyond pairings into threesomes, Simon/Mal/Jayne wins (exactly like that too, Malcolm in the middle).

Kris | September 20, 04:14 CET

Joss(who I would imagine knows about such things) may have warned him

Yea, I'd say he would! He did add the "Its a safe word" scene in the BDM.

:-P

nixygirl | September 20, 04:23 CET

Oh my Kris, that would be a Mal sandwich(you know like a cheese sandwich...)

And nixy girl... for a sec when I read "its a safe word", after that I read "BDSM" not "BDM", I mean they do go together lol
And for those people who have no idea what that is... in your case ignorance is bliss. lol. I am twisted...

kurya | September 20, 04:49 CET

Simon/Mal/Jayne wins (exactly like that too, Malcolm in the middle).

Jeez, thanks, Kris, for making sure I'll never be able to watch the sitcom with Frankie Muniz in the same way ever again. ;-)

*shakes head and mutters* Wicked, wicked, bad, naughty, WICKED board! ;-)

billz | September 20, 05:22 CET

Gotta ask--someone emailed me a few weeks back asking to use one of my videos at an event in the UK. It was a Mal video set to Warren Zevon's song "Renegade." Was this the thing? Did they show it?

JesterInACast | September 20, 06:52 CET

Y'all have your slashy fun! I'm telling ya straight!--I'm Straight!--if'n I liked boys I wouldna named Vera, Vera, I'da called her Hoban!! Did'nja never see me sniffin' up Inara, Zoe and Kaylee? Not River, tho, that gal's just nuts, an I wanna keep botha mine! Just look at my name down here at the end if'n ya don't believe me, ya crotch smellin' fools!

jaynelovesvera | September 20, 06:53 CET

Hmmm I wasn't there(with me being in Canada), but this would be the event, dunno if they showed it. And billz... how long have you been posting here? I mean wasn't it last week where the link title name was "big orgy"? I mean I am trying to think of ways how much more sexual this place can get before even Pamela Anderson would blush.

kurya | September 20, 06:55 CET

Wow, a visit from Jayne himself to pull himself out of the slash sandwich! But, see, dude, this is how misunderstandings start, when you go around saying things like, "I never kiss 'em on the mouth." ;-)

And kurya, I'm innocent, I tells ya, no matter what threads I post on. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. ;-)

billz | September 20, 07:28 CET

Hey billz, I think I'da made an exception for ole Saffron. What a looker! And that mouth on her--she Bible-talked better'n the Shepherd! I know, I know, I wadn't there--Mal n' Wash tole me all about it later. Thought they'd make me jealous--well they did! Gorramit, wish I coulda seen her an' Inara liplockin', all...let me see here?..1...2..3...all 4 ways!

And doan be puttin' me in a gorram sandwich with the preacher or I'll send you to the "special" hell my own self!

jaynelovesvera | September 20, 07:56 CET

all...let me see here?..1...2..3...all 4 ways!

*head explodes* ;-)

billz | September 20, 08:13 CET

Speaking of men that cause me to feel a kind of conflicting-yet-complimentary mulch of emotions like envy and lust, what's up with the Amazon.com ads lately? Aside from the Firefly boxed set, an Angel boxed set, and the DVD of Serenity, everything that pops up in-between is shirtless and buff on a magazine cover. Men's Health, Exercise For Men Only!, Details, the gay mag DNA.

Not that I'm complaining.

Kris | September 20, 08:57 CET

Hmm, I don't get that Kris, is it because of your shopping or browsing habits on Amazon? Don't they keep track of what you bought or looked at and offer suggestions?

kurya | September 20, 09:42 CET

*head explodes* ;-)

billz, that must have been one hell of a snort. Maybe you should switch to QuoterGal's trademarked Groans.

jaynelovesvera | September 20, 12:00 CET

In the current context, I'm not so sure quite what type of groans we're talkin' about here. ;-)

billz | September 20, 12:54 CET

billz, very clever. I wish I'd thought of that.

jaynelovesvera | September 20, 13:11 CET

*stunned*

I'm so touched, jlv (and, gods, is THAT ever a straight line for you to jump on)! I'm also tempted to say "And now the student is the master," but that's inviting all kinds of bad karma, that's a fact.

*goes back to sitting snarkily at the master's feet* ;-)

billz | September 20, 13:34 CET

If I remember right from my days of working at a newsstand, Kris, Exercise For Men Only is also a gay mag, or at least the cover model was always shirtless and tight-pantsed with something going on with the package. What the hell did you order from Amazon?

Sorry about the additional graphics, billz.

I don't rememeber seeing it, but I wasn't there all day on Sunday (deferred to the pub for a bit) so it may have been shown between the guest talks.

The ones in the competition were all submitted by attendees.

Angelite | September 20, 14:31 CET

I never saw your vid shown JesterInACast - I didn't find out about the competition until that day otherwise I might have submitted mine, just to see them on the big screen.

It would have been nice to have seen all the entries plus any others (and there are some excellent ones on line) over the whole weekend. Ah well.

The Do That Girl | September 20, 16:13 CET

Yeah I would have preferred more music videos as opposed to Earth Final Conflict out-takes....

Though it would have meant more competition!

gilesno1fan | September 20, 16:23 CET

Dreamlogic, I am sure what he ordered is between him and Amazon. Kind of like a confessional, except it would be a multi-gajillion dollar corporation instead of a priest. And I ain't sorry about the additional graphics lol.

Errr...billz you were talking about your brain right?

Hee!
*runs away*

nixygirl | September 20, 20:16 CET

You know, nixygirl, I was worrying after I had made my post that there was a possibility people might not get that same Scanners-brain-exploding picture that I had in my tiny little head, er, brain. Yes, brain! It's the brain! Brain and brain! Brain go boom! Now billz smash what left of brain! And what right of brain, too! Grrrr! ;-)

billz | September 21, 00:38 CET

You finally lost it man!

:-P

nixygirl | September 21, 02:35 CET

You got that right! ;-)

billz | September 21, 02:39 CET

Its all that slash... it does things to people...strange things.
