Notes: To me, this is a vid about Sam and Dean's relationship. I still don't know myself whether I consider it canon or fanon but it's certainly one way of looking at things. I'm also ridiculously pleased at how this turned out, both in concept and technical execution. And I can't think of anything else I want to say except I think it's one of my favourite vids to date.

My thanks to both [livejournal.com profile] ash48 and [livejournal.com profile] mresundance for the beta. This was my first time using a beta and it certainly helped me personally. My thanks to both of you for helping me make this vid better. Especially [livejournal.com profile] mresundance who kept pushing me to get things right.

I've seen more Wincest vids than I would like, I think, and for the most part I've grown very tired of them because I'm tired of the largely superficial angst and/or "squee! Hot boys making out!" Uh, which is not the best way to start feedback, but the point is that I felt that this vid felt very different in how it was carried out. I love that it builds so faithfully from the canon and builds to what seems a perfectly logical conclusion. I love that even at the height of the conclusion drawn it never seems like it's departing from canon, because the line is toed but never explicitly crossed. The grey area is so expertly mapped out and so well documented by your clip choices, and I love that this vid leads the viewer with such an assured sense of direction, from brotherhood and shared tragedy to the darkness of the incestuous subtext and the eventual reconciliation of these two concepts.

It's weird to think about vids as being OOC, but now I realise that a lot of Wincest vids do strike me as OOC because they carry their own premises that don't quite gel with my view of canon. This vid, on the other hand, feels spectacularly true to character and the nuances of this relationship, and I really think that you've got your finger on a very elusive pulse here. Fantastic work!

That's exactly what grabbed me about this video, but I could not put it into coherent words like you, lady. :) It's how... real, it feels. Realistic. And... different. I'm a little burnt out on the boys, to be honest, even though I keep banging my head against their relationship over and over again. It's nice to see a take that gels with the characters but makes a statement.

I think you've put into words a fair bit of what I was trying to do with this vid. I never wanted to cross that line away from canon but I didn't want to back away from it either. So reading your comment about this vid staying true to character was very complimentary. Thank you for watching and thank you for your comments :)
