==Tribute Video==
Someone You Might have Been is a tribute video by liv_niggle which can be seen here.webcite for youtube.
According to one reviewer:
:"The video is based on the awesome Spy-verse by fleshflutter. Well, if you read the story and liked it you just HAVE to go and watch the vid. Because, basically, it's THIS story, only it's video. You totally forget about the fact that this is all fictional..."Vid Rec Post by secretlytodream, dated March 28, 2010, accessed November 12, 2011. Vid is here on Youtube.
Another reader had this to say about the video:
:"If I had to pick a favorite thing about fandom -- and thank god nobody ever asks me to, because there's so much goodness, but if I had to -- it would have to be the way that fan works can complete transform the original media. Case in fucking awesome point: Someone You Might Have Been is a J2 AU by fleshflutter, in which Jared is a spy and Jensen is his handler. It's kind of J2 meets La Femme Nikita, which is a marriage I support. (And it's now legal in Iowa!). Only, then somebody goes and vids it. And by vids it, I mean vids it. (The vidder goes by "Liv Niggle." I know her not, but she is made of sunshine and unicorns, clearly.) The vid introduces media from non-SPN J2 works, as well as completely unrelated source and Queer as Folk for the porns! Seriously, I am so impressed. I love you, fandom. I am OVERFLOWING WITH IT."Rec by agentotter, dated April 27, 2009, accessed November 12, 2011; WebCite.
