Best Enemies

Good Day, Ladies, Gentlemen, and those of the 26 genders of Metabelix 9. My name is RF93, and I am to be your latest Reccer.

I would like to speak to you briefly on the subject of Doctor/Master Fanvids.

Now I'm sure many or most of you will have seen the worst this category has to offer, shoddily constructed affairs set to pop or rock songs, looping the same three scenes from 'Last of the Time Lords' a half a dozen times.

While these can be entertaining, I understand that the fine members of B_E are a certain level of connoisseur, and expect nothing but the best for their viewing pleasure.

To that effect, I wish to introduce, or rather remind my readers that while we are fortunate enough to have extraordinary authors and remarkable artists, Doctor/Master fandom is host to several excellent fanvids of both old and new D/M varieties.

As with most fanfiction of this pairing, two basic genres of vid exist. For the purposes of this review, I have chosen one of each category.

The Epic: Space Dementia by nastally
Pairing: All Doctor/Master, emphasis on New Who.
Why It Should Be Watched: The creator describes this as her Magnum Opus, and it truly is. The editing is beautiful, with some of the best timing and cuts I have ever seen, set to slightly haunting music. While not a fast paced video, it does not give the feeling of slowing or growing repetetive throughout its six minute run, the artist using every era and (my favorite gimmick), well incorporated quotes from the show to paint one of the best psychological and historical profiles of this pairing.
Warnings: Leaves that wonderfully slightly sad and disturbed feeling in the pit of your stomach that only the best fics and artwork do.



The Crack: Drop Dead Gorgeous by GeckoGoose
Pairing: All Doctor/Masters up to 'LotTL'
Why It Should Be Watched: In the way that only sometime crack!fic and vids can do, this is a perfect representation of Doctor/Master, (to say nothing of Doctor/Master Fandom) through the years. With every canonized version of both our Best Enemies, quick and playful editing and above all, perhaps the catchiest song with remarkably relevant lyrics since ABBA's Mamma Mia. While highly under appreciated at only 1200 views, this is perhaps one of the best in D/M Crack!vids.
Warnings: No, seriously. This song will stick in your head whether you love it or hate it.
