vid recs

[arduinna]

I've been planning to add vid recs to my rec site for a couple of years now. The problem is, there are so many great vids that I kept feeling like I was leaving too many out.

I'm still leaving too many out -- vids, fandoms, you name it -- but it's at the point where if I don't suck it up and post these, they're going to languish on my harddrive forever. Better to rec some than none, right? So here are 107 vid recs in over 50 fandoms. (... yeah, I know.)

Most of my connection to the vid community these days is through Vividcon, so these tend to be slanted toward vids and vidders that I've come across there.

All of the recs in one place:

Yay! I love your vid recs. You've pointed me in the direction of so many good ones.

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks!

[therienne.livejournal.com]

Hey -- there are problems with *all* the links -- you've left something critical out, somewhere.

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

meep, thanks! curly quotes snuck in during a search&replace on the links, hmf. Fixed now!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the recs! My site is no longer password-protected, just so you know. (:

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

The hazards of literally writing these up over a couple of years! Thanks, it's fixed now!

[montanaharper]

Yay, vid recs!

Two tiny notes: The link for Starlight by Buffyann goes to a vid by a different vidder, and H:LotS should end in a singular noun, not a plural. *g*

*downloads madly*

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

Oh, eep, thank you! The link is fixed (and seriously, watch what she does with motion there, it's *amazing*). And the H:LotS is fixed. *mutter* I never get that right, even knowing better.

Vids on imeem

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Change the locks is streaming on imeem:
http://www.imeem.com/wickedwords/video/gJ_c3dPy/media_cannibals_jo_sandy_nicole_hl_changethelocks_tv_vid/

And fannish taxonomy is here on imeem:
http://www.imeem.com/wickedwords/video/Wl3tUoZI/clucking_belles_sandy_and_rache_multi_hothothot_tv_video/

There are more than the usual number of glitches on the imeem version, but it is streaming if folks want to watch them that way. I'm hoping to eventually get the rest of the vids up there as well.

Re: Vids on imeem

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

Added, thank you!

[barkley.livejournal.com]

Zeroeth up, this is awesome! I am finding new to me vids!

First up, omg you are too kind! Thank you. (And you cracked me the hell up on your pairing on Don't Think Twice. *g*)

Second up, the Teal'c PI vid has the wrong vidder's summary and imeem stream. (I only know because I recognized those words. *g*)

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

*kof* This is what I get for copying an existing rec for formatting, at 4am... *fixes Teal'c PI*

And dude, I didn't want to give anything away! Also, it is a hard one to sum up... *g*

[ninjababe.livejournal.com]

I just adore your vid recs... It's gotten me into so many different musical groups. :)

Thanks for more!

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

Hee -- I know, I can't believe how much my musical tastes have broadened thanks to vids!

[flambeau.livejournal.com]

Recs! Cool! *goes to watch stuff*

Absolutely nothing to do with the vid recs, but two of the Young Wizard recs on the what's new fic page link back to the what's new fic page.

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

oh, ack, thank you! Fixed now.

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

*bookmarks*

*hugs you*

That is awesome. There are vids here I don't know, and not all of them are VVC '08 vids, either. Yay!

And you know I adore you for giving "Holding Out For A Hero" vids a category of their very own. :-)

[marycrawford.livejournal.com]

Tiny typo alert for "All I Want For Christmas": "Andraste mixed live-action, andime, and cartoon fandoms ehre, which is something you don't often see" --> anime, here.

and "A Fanish Taxonomy of Hotness" --> Fannish

[aka-arduinna.livejournal.com]

eep, thanks! Fixed now. And heh, no, definitely not all VVC 2008 -- I've literally been doing this off and on for the last couple of years. And yay, vids that are new to people!

Thanks for the recs!
