This is AMAZING! What a fantastic look at sci-fi's history, and so many awesome women. Your editing is just wonderful, all the sources blend together so well. Squee!

[anotherslashfan]

Wow. I had goosebumps all over while watching this.

Your editing on this is incredible.

[were_duck]

I LOVE THIS VID!!!

[musesfool]

This is so cool!

[talitha78]

Wow! Boggle is right. So many sources, woven together so seamlessly. *clappyhands*

[mrkinch]

Utterly awesome! I'm still weepy.*blows nose*

[laurashapiro]

This is terrific. I love best how it's both celebratory (science! courage! friendship! ass-kicking!) and critical (miniskirts! terror! space aerobics, WTF!). The song choice is inspired, allowing all sorts of deliciously ironic juxtapositions.

Fandom needed this vid. I needed it. Now I am happy. :D

ETA: Will be reccing...

[perkins]

I'm here via Laurashapiro's rec, and I am so glad I saw the rec--this is AMAZING.

[kuwdora]

HOMGGG this is AMAZINGGG

my favorite part is only ALL OF ITTTTTT

[rydra_wong]

Oh, yes yes yes. What laurashapiro said. What a delight.

[rhoboat]

How are you so awesome?! ♥

[sinensis]

Great, great, GREATNESS.

[potted_music]

This is amazing <3

[anoneknewmoose]

Oh, wow, this was GREAT.

[marina]

Wow, just wow. This is so awesome, I love how it really tells a STORY that's both really sad and at the same time full of joy and wonder. Such an amazing vid, omg.

[arliss]

What a delight! Thanks so much for this. And what a perfect, poignant image to end on. Just lovely.

[futuransky]

This was AMAZING to see at WisCon in a huge crowd of feminist science fiction fans––wish you could have been there! I am already thinking of this vid as WisCon's theme song. I also absolutely love the mix of sources, the progression through the vid, the tribute to Elizabeth Sladen... all of it! <3 <3 <3

[lo_rez]

So much love for this heroes' gallery and its pointed metatext. (Also: Dayna! Cally! Servalan! THE SQUEE OF IT ALL!!!)

[katta]

That was bloody gorgeous - a beautiful tribute to sci fi women without leaving out the troublesome parts. I'm definitely saving this one for many rewatches.

[siljamus]

Amazing work! And what Laura said...

[greenapple]

I wanted to say this was amazing... but it looks like everyone else already has. So. I enjoyed watching this. :)

[livrelibre]

This is absolutely amazing!

[litotease]

I have so much to say that it's too much. This was my life flashing before my eyes. This is 9-year-old me who wanted to be Will Robinson or maybe Mrs. Peel and it's 11-year-old me who snuck out into the hall to watch Star Trek past my bedtime because Spock had my heart. It's 31-year-old, single-parent me who introduced my daughter to science fiction via Next Gen, and 48-year-old me who was so, so grateful for and in love with Laura Rosylin and Starbuck, and 55-year-old right-this-minute me who's so very aware of how far we've come and how far we have to go, and you can see it all right in this mighty awesome vid you've made!

So, y'know, if tears mixed with heart-swelling love and adoration was the audience reaction you were trying for....

♥

[astrogirl]

Wow, this is terrific! I'm particularly impressed by the wide variety of subjects you managed to include.

[giglet]

I love this! I feel like it's the anthem I've been waiting for all my life.

And thank you for reminding us of all the wonderful women in SF (even if some of them were in fur bikinis), and I was so glad to see Sarah Jane, in particular.

Best Thing Ever!
