HASA Going Down

My favorite Lord of the Rings archive is closing. For anyone who doesn't know yet (probably quite a few people), Henneth Annun is one of the oldest and most influential Lord of the Rings archives. It's being forced to close due to repeated server hacks. Hopefully all of the fics can be transferred to AO3 as part of the Open Doors project.

If you know anyone who has fics on HASA, please let them know! If you like any fics on HASA, please download them now! Fanfiction Downloader is a standalone program and a Calibre plugin that can download from HASA and turn the fics into ebooks.

Highlander - What It Means To Live Forever

Stones are static. Rocks remain (mostly) unchanged. Living beings grow and adapt to circumstances. What does this mean for someone who could live forever?

All of this is leading up to fanvid recommendations to go along with the Methos rewatch on killabeez' journal.

1) Kronos, Methos and the meaning of brotherhood. The only wistful, poignant vid featuring Kronos that makes sense (it may also be the only one period). A wonderful and surprisingly touching look at the end of a millennia-long relationship.

2 & 3 are the quintessential Methos vids, to me. I love how they get at different aspects of his character, while both capturing the feeling of intelligent, economical forcefulness that Methos cultivates.

2) Methos, a practical man, surrounds himself with poets, visionaries, and musicians. Sometimes they drown him out. Sometimes they can't see his perspective. Sometimes they talk too much.

3) Methos has spent 3000 years cleaning the blood off his hands. Now, finally, he's clean. Sometimes. Chilling and complex look at how far Methos has come, and how far he still has to go.

4) Methos is a civilized man now, but he'll never be a peaceful one. Violence may not be the best way to solve problems, but sometimes he can't stop himself from using it. WARNING: Some brief season 6 cuts.
