Top 5 Favorite 2013 "not-fics"

[endeni]

FANVIDS:
Tightrope by fray-adjacent12 - Boy, the movement and the rhythm of this vid! So amazing!
Born To Kill by thedothatgirl - Such an intense Faith vid! Love the B&W style and the explosive ending!
Final Hour (10th CHOSEN anniversary) by narvinek - OMG, I keep rewatching this new version and I keep comparing it to the old one and, yes, they're pretty different, the focus here is more tightly on Buffy but I really can't choose which one I like best... *_*

META:
Spike in ats s5 by coalitiongirl - This post makes such an interesting point about Spike!
Why We Fight: An Essay on Truth and Purpose by lynnenne - This meta made me really re-valuate the episode "Why We Fight"! ♥

Oh, and Final Hour is totally among my favorite Buffy-centric vids! Together with Buffy Epic Trailer by MytubePr0ductions, Crawling in my skin by xTeenageWastelandx, No Longer Feels Like Home by SpuffyProductions and the classic masterpieces Polaroid Millenium by Gwyneth Rhys, Five on the Dime by Shati and Suburbia by dualbunny.

No Longer Feels Like Home and Suburbia are two of my all-time favorites, the rest are new to me so THANK YOU! (No Longer Feels Like Home was one of the first two fanvids in this fandom I saw, along with obsessive24's "Bachelorette".)

I noticed that the first one, the epic trailer, is posted by someone else on their own YouTube, which seems weird to me; it's not the same thing as posting a link to the original source.

Oh, I looove Bachelorette to tiny pieces! And I'm always so happy to be able to rec new things! :)
About the link... sadly the original vid got taken down by youtube, so it's this link or nothing...

That vid is "the gold standard" for Buffyverse meta fanvids for me; I wish Obsessive would do more in this 'verse.

sadly the original vid got taken down by youtube, so it's this link or nothing...

At least someone preserved it.

BTW - Crawling in My Skin is fantastic (thanks for the link!) Gwenyth's vids I could see but couldn't hear the audio, and Shati's wouldn't play on my Mac at all. *pouts*

Oh, I have Windows and I watch them all fine. Possibly it's a Mac problem? Or maybe it's the program you're using? BTW, I use VLC, which opens practically everything, and there's a MAC version too. ;)

You're probably right that it's a mac problem. (And ironically with the new super-duper state of the art operating system there are vids I can't watch now that I was able to on my '08 Mac.) I have downloaded VLC so I'll try using that instead thanks for the suggestion.

You're welcome! :)
