Dear Festividder,

Why do I write such long letters?? Because it’s the only time I ever say anything on Dreamwidth? Maybe! But also because I feel really grateful that you are making me a vid for one of these fandoms and this is the only way I have to try and help. So I think I write a lot to try and help a lot. Maybe that works for you! Maybe it doesn’t. If it doesn’t... take what is useful and leave the rest. Media is not one thing and vids can only hold so many ideas within them while being coherent. Just know that I write this much because I love these fandoms and I love that you are making me a vid. You are mighty! And I could never imagine the vid you are imagining right now. What I find most exciting about the fanwork exchange process is connecting through the particular lens of a vid that brings certain elements of a fandom into focus.You are so very appreciated, Festividder. <3 <3 <3

P.S. the length of my comments on each fandom below does not equate to my level of investment. I love alllllllll of these.

P.P.S. I’m so far up the butt of electoral politics and various celebrity shilling that I am finding it hilarious that I requested both Feud starring Susan Sarandon and Will & Grace starring Debra Messing, who have been in a notorious twitter war due to their respective Bernie and HRC stanning.

TL;DR: While the fandoms I requested are diverse in many different ways -- tone, format, projected audience, theme, character, etc. -- I think many of them have the common thread of being politically precarious, as is often the case with media featuring underrepresented groups or ideas.

My particular investments could be described as follows: Women are great. Relationships between women are amazing. Femslash gives me life. Billy from Billy on the Street is literally the only boy for whom I’d be excited to receive a character-vid. Homonormativity bores me. Complexity excites me. SQUEE vids are love. Chosen family. Radical queerness. Reclaiming authorship of experience and narrative. The many different feminisms. Intertextuality, conversations across media, and reflexivity? Yes! Yes! Yes! Crossovers possibilities are described in more detail below, but fandoms with an asterisk are crossover approved!

Warnings: are appreciated for the access of all.

Music: I give some ideas below, but they’re just ideas. I tend to think I don’t like an artist or song and then someone vids it for me and it’s brilliant and perfect, or I do like an artist or song and I get to enjoy it in a whole different way, so I really put my trust in your vision. My only “please don’t do that” songs are the ones with dude vocalists that are sexually coercive or rapey, like “Blurred Lines” or “My Way.” I largely prefer female vocalists but that is not a hard and fast rule.

Dear Festividder,

Yay! a lot of fandoms I love are in Festivals. I put them in alphabetical order because I get decisionitis if I try to rank my fandoms. I have a lot of flail inside about these fandoms. And you’re making me a VID for one of these?! Thank you! You are just FANTASTIC. I cannot tell you how excited I am to receive a vid for any one of these fandoms.

Regarding music: go with what you feel. If I have ideas for specific types of music with various fandoms, I will note it, but really — they’re just ideas. I like pop, hip-hop, r&b, motown, opera, musicals, some rock, some punk, some country, and always unusual, non-music audio tracks. I don’t like industrial rock, metal, gothic rock, etc.

Dear Festividder,

Thank you thank you thank you Festividder for making me a vid! I have a lot of flailiness below but that just means when it comes to delighting me with vids -- I'm easy. If you have an idea already? Excellent! Want to use a frequently vidded song? Awesome. Really these fandoms need love and sometimes there's nothing more validating to a fandom than being vidded to by a well-vidded song. Want to get experimental and weird? Into! Want to incorporate fanworks like fanart or podcasts or?? Totally! (just please credit the fanartists!). Want to be critical or get meta? Awesome! Fill a kink bingo square? Abso-luuuutely.

Access: While in general I am a "vid what you want" kinda gal, shots of gore and body horror can trigger some really unpleasant stuff with my OCD (this is mostly an issue with the three crime shows, obvs). If you include some of these shots, that's ok! just don't linger? and please include a trigger warning so I know. Also, I'd really appreciate captions of the final vid, for my own enjoyment and as a necessity for friends I'd like to share the vid with.

The TL;DR of all the bits below: Focus on female characters is IMPORTANT.

Anyway, have fun! And thank you!

This was a placeholder! It's holding the place for flaily flaily paragraphs.

Not-so-subtle-vidding-imposter-syndrome-qualifier....I decided to sign up for Festivids because:

A) vidding for fanworks >>> vidding for career-works
B) Festivids is fucking awesome
C) Vidders are awesome and I want to make a present!
D) I just have so many fandoms that don't have enough (or any) vids ;__;

P.S. fandoms listed in chronology of when I more or less adopted them
