That Was a River is a VCR-vid that premiered at the Connexions slash multi-media con in 2000. Until now, it has only been available through fan-to-fan transfers and by viewing at fan conventions and has never before appeared online. This is the original vid; it has not been digitally remastered. The vidder, Beth C., is well known for creating excellent VCR S&H vids. That Was a River was very well received at Connexions and since then has become a fan favorite. It has been shown, by request, at many SH cons including most SHareCons and Cabrillo Con and is the most requested vid ever shown at SHareCon.
When we asked Beth if she considered the vid slash or gen, she wrote, “I don’t think I ever intended to make a slash vid, as such. I hope [my vids] can be viewed as either gen or slash, or maybe as a bromance. 🙂 I would like the viewer to decide for themselves.”
We’d like to thank Beth for giving us permission to offer the vid for download. Please do not repost the vid on YouTube, other video blogs, or anywhere else on the Internet.

Just alerting you in case there’s a problem at your end.
I couldn’t wait to watch this after the big build up but I have no video, only audio.
The music is beautiful but obviously I want to see the guys!
I answered this on starsky_hutch lj, for anyone having similar problems.
Oh! That was sweet and perfect and so- so- true! Thank you for sharing the vid with us, Beth! Beautiful!
Suzan’s art together with this vid is a perfect combination to end the calendar.
My eyes are leaking all over. I must now go collect myself . . .
Couldn’t watch it properly directly, but it worked well after I downloaded it!!!
It’s just beautiful and I really enjoyed watching it!!!
Thanks so much!!!
;D
Simply perfect. They are an ocean, without question. Thank you so much for making this available. <333
One of my all time favorite vids! So nice to see it all shiny and perfect!
Thank you all! I was stunned and delighted when I realized one episode, “Rosie Malone,” had all the scenes I needed. It was a joy to work on, and I’m so happy fans enjoy it!
This was what started my vidding venture, even though it was back in the 90s when I first discovered her vids– and my vids, at the time, were only in my head. Beth was always my mentor– she told a story. I can’t fathom the work that went into these with early 1980 technology. Thank you, Beth. And thank you, Flamingo, for making this more available.
Oh, and a word of advice…give it a few seconds to load before hitting play. I had a couple of false starts.
I’ve cried every time I’ve seen this at a SHareCon, and I’m sniffling now. This is a lovely vid: the scenes and lyrics match so well, and it flows beautifully.
Thanks so much, Beth, for making this available to everyone.
