Vid: Is She Really Going Out With him (click to download)
Vidded by: sherrold and wickedwords for Escapade 2009
Summary: No, seriously. Is she really going out with him?
Fandom SGA
Format: XVid

Tons of thanks to our betas, with special thanks to both gwyn_r and kassrachel. This is a short vid, and not subtle. (So not subtle). When TPTB slam you with a meta-story, really, what can you do?

This vid is now up on our imeem site, and embedded under the cut. There are some hiccups when streaming it (as usual), but the xvid format is better than most:

That was darned cute - I loved the way you shifted from Ronon's pov to John's...

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

We loved that we had a chance to focus on both guys' perceptions, plus I loved the parallelism. Thanks!

[lamardeuse.livejournal.com]

Love this to pieces. You tended to get the impression that Ronon and John were equally left out in the cold by Rodney and Keller getting together, and you've captured it beautifully.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

There really was no way we couldn't vid that story. I mean, TPTB gaw it to us on a shiny silver platter! And this song, it was right! there! in our memories. We could not resist putting them together. Thanks!

[logovo.livejournal.com]

Oh I loved this vid! It was specially fun to see it with a crowd of people.

[sorrelchestnut.livejournal.com]

That was so damned cute. Oh, Ronon. Oh, John. Seeing their matching expressions of "...the hell?" over and over again just made it for me.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I would have loved to have been there! I'm so glad you liked it, thanks!

[emyrys.livejournal.com]

I love you guys.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, occasionally, Sandy and I make cute, funny, and somewhat bitchy vids. I am so glad they are appreciated. Thanks!

[kimberlite.livejournal.com]

LOL! Definitely something going wrong. Loved Ronon and John's reactions to being left out. Very fun. :)

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Something going wrong from the character's POV and from some of the fans POVs as well. It drove me crazy. I hated it when my girl friends stopped seeing me because they spent all their time with some guy; why would I want any of the guys I like to go through that? Argh! But at least making the vid was a great way to cope. Thanks!

[saffronhouse.livejournal.com]

Hee! This utterly made me root for Rodney,

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

He has quite the way with the ladies, doesn't he? Thanks!

[eshtah.livejournal.com]

Loved it - loved the transition from Ronon to John. Well done, high quality, good song and clip choices! Makes me want to see more!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ariadne83]

Haha awesome. But aww, you gotta feel sorry for John and Ronon.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Poor boys! I'm sure they'll find something to do to entertain themselves. Thanks!

[cyren-2132.livejournal.com]

This is entirely too fun. I love it!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[aworldinside.livejournal.com]

Haha, this was awesome. I saw the POV switch coming but it was still delightful when it did. Oh, Ronon and John.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally! The POV switch was the big focus of the vid. I'm glad you liked it, thanks!

[dragojustine.livejournal.com]

This is adorable! I loved the way you use Ronon and John both. heh.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

We really had to use both guys to get the jealousy right.Thanks!

[semielliptical]

Perfect song for that relationship! Very cute.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[esteefee]

Hahahah this is brilliant. I loved Ronon's disbelief (and then the hand-off to John.) This totally reflects my own disgust with the way the PTB forced the ridiculous pairing between Jennifer and Rodney and ignored the really sweet chemistry Ronon and Jennifer had going. (I'm thinking specifically of the quarantine ep.)

I really liked the "so there goes your proof" line and the way you pulled it back to Ronon's first encounter with Rodney (upside down in his hazmat suit, no less.)

The ending was perfect, especially that one walking look John gives of total sad disgust. (1:59) and the great stuttering rhythm of the clips right after that (like tripping.)

And the last moment. Hee!

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

It was really fun to be able to play with Ronon and get his perspective on Rodney (within the confines of what we were trying to do, of course) He is so expressive, we felt spoiled for choice at times. Thanks!

[ruric.livejournal.com]

I'm hopeless at constructive feedback on vids - so just imagine me sitting here clapping and giggling (a lot)!

Love it *G*

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it.

Ronon and John's WTF-faces are priceless! :D

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

They are! They totally are! Two (strange, perhaps mutant) peas in a pod, the two of them. Thanks

[dragonladyk.livejournal.com]

No kidding. Can't she tell he has the Big Gay Love for Sheppard?

I'd totally give David Hewlett the time of day (GUH, the mouth/hands/mannerisms), Ronon/Keller makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a dull spoon, and I think Keller is nothing special in any catagory BUT despite all that I still found your video amusing. It made me smile. Excellent job.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks.

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

This is a fantastic vid. I love the clever touches like the explosions in the beginning, Ronon's idea of a party, and John's final flounce. But my dead-favorite part of it is the way you switch perspectives by repeating the same clip. Brilliant. Amazingly clear. It feels like watching the whole thing turn 90 degrees on a dime.

Seriously, brilliant.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Sandy's a big fan of pov shifts--she did the first one that I can remember for one of her due south vids--and I loved being able to completely re-frame the vid simply by doing that one change. I'm glad you liked it!

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

So delightful! I really loved how you did the switch from Ronon's to John's POV - I love Ronon/Jennifer almost as much as I love John/Rodney, but I was feeling a bit disappointed by it focusing just on Ronon's being left out, so when I saw the switch and that I was going to get *both*, I clapped my hands in delight. :) And yes, I think this summarizes not only John and Ronon's WTF-ness, but most of us in fandom too. :)

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I can't believe they just gave this to us. It was practically silver-plated. I'm glad you liked it.
