Dear Equinox letter

[jetpack_monkey]

Hello!

Thank you for participating in Equinox: Vids in Space! I only have one overall request: have fun. Otherwise, music and mood are up to you! Make the vid of your heart or the vid that seems like ridiculous fun or the vid that trolls everyone who watches it. I will love any and all.

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965) [safety]

I just want to see Peter Cushing as a dotty Victorian inventor named Dr. Who. You can run this as serious or as goofy as you like.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Characters/Relationships:Benjamin Sisko & Jake Sisko, Weyoun, Benjamin Sisko

I would absolutely adore a Weyoun vid because Jeffrey Combs makes everything better always. However, I'm also keen on a vid about Benjamin Sisko, either as badass, compromised figure, or (especially interesting) father.

No Man's Sky (Video Game)

This game is gorgeous and weird and... look, it's an infinite universe and no two player-experiences can ever be the same. Each planet has its own flora and fauna. The animals are randomly generated from a handful of characteristics, which means sometimes you get goats with lizard heads and tiny wings just hovering over the ground. Show me the wild and the woolly. Or gimme dat infinite cosmos. I will love it either way.

Rocky Jones Space Ranger

I'm all in for goofy, balsa-wood set fun with Rocky, his co-pilot Winky, and navigator Vena Ray. This was one of the few space jockey series to survive the early 1950s, largely because it was pre-filmed and those episodes were often later edited into feature-length film (MST3K tackled two of 'em).

Anyway, if you can get past the fact that rockets. don't. work. like. that, it's a lot of fun!

Flash Gordon serials (1936-1940)

FLASH! Aa-aaaah! But not the 1980s one! Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe) fights Ming the Merciless on Mongo and Mars in three exciting and action-packed serials:

Flash Gordon (1936)
Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars (1938)
Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe* (1940)

* No he doesn't, except in a really bad simile.

Just show me that action and adventure, the classic effects, and the rip-roarin' good time.

Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold

Characters/Relationships: Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan Vorpatril, Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan

I would give my bottom teeth for a Vorkosigan vid of any kind. I just want that guy in the moving pictures somehow. Or, you know, we can forget him and focus on Cordelia, because I imprinted on her first. But then there's (dammit) Ivan! Oh hell, anything you do would be sweet.

Multi-Fandom: A Better Tomorrow

I just want optimism in space. I want to know that once we get out of this trash fire, we're going to make friends with the outer space aliens and work together in peace and harmony. I want to see that it's going to be okay and we're all headed to a brighter future.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
