This is a set of vids in various fandoms to the old Schoolhouse Rock songs. My favorites are the Supernatural “Noun” vid and the Heroes “Interjection” vid. These vids are not so much for fans of the source fandoms as they are for fans of Schoolhouse Rock.

Heroes, Molly gen. A brilliant set of fairy-tale pastiches in a plausibly canonical frame story; beautiful and clever and kind of chilling, and kind of sad ,and kind of hopeful.

Heroes/SGA crossover, gen. When Micah grows up, he joins the SGC and is sent to Atlantis. It’s a really nifty take on the ’sentient Atlantis’ trope, and a perfect meshing of the universes. Written for the picfor1000 challenge.

Heroes, Niki, Claire, Monica gen, PG, vid. This is an awesome vid of the Heroes women moving from cowed and dependent to strong, empowered, and kick-ass. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a constructed reality vid, because the show’s not quite like that. Oh, well. I’d watch this show. And I’d watch this vid. A lot.

Heroes, Sylar gen. The metaphor is perfect, the vid perfectly creepy. This is not a vid I’d recommend for anyone who hasn’t watched the series (season 1 only), both because of spoilers and because a lot of the sense of the vid depends on the viewer’s knowlege of context, but if you’re a Heroes fan, it’s amazing.
