1.
Definitely glad I submitted the bulk of my desired festivids sources on opening day, before I left for NY; I didn't have a chance to get back online until after nominations closed. Now perusing the submissions and disputes list. Link in case you want to as well and haven't already been doing so!
Chronicles of Riddick and Fast & Furious series caught my eye but got ousted for being too popular. 'S okay. There are many other intriguing options. Jury's still out on whether I will be brave this year and check off boxes for things I would enjoy living with for a few months regardless of whether I have a particular backup idea for them. Or whether there will be time or oomph in the next couple of weeks for watching some movies on the list that I'd been meaning to see, in case that means a couple more I can volunteer for.
It's been ten months since I made a vid.
2.
I registered for muskratjamboree in March. I think that was my first fan-run con that wasn't for a specific fandom, in 2009, followed by con.txt in 2010/2012/2014, since I'd moved from Cambridge to D.C. Now we're back again. It'll be interesting to see how MJ goes this time. I remember encountering a lot of squee. Many of us have had conversations comparing and contrasting the two cons. Well; even if the fandoms or tone don't end up suiting me personally, there's the vid show, and the opportunity to learn more about who lives locally.
And most of all, seeing fan friends. Any of you planning to go?
If I don't have any ideas or time to make something new besides Festivids, I'm thinking of submitting I Like the Way You Move for consideration. After remastering the 3rd movie footage and either swapping the final clip or making a cover image with the Special Features shot of Vin Diesel in chains giving a grin and a thumbs-up. It's not exclusively slash, but (a) if memory serves, MJ's vid subject requirements are less stringent than con.txt's, and (b) it's still gazing appreciatively at a dude, so.
