You know what makes me happy? Vids. Lots of vids. Particularly, certain moments in vids. I've seen a meme here and there lately of noting Favorite Vid Moments, so I thought for More Joy Day I would start listing mine. Because they are made of joy.

( in no particular order! )

I was looking back through some old entries and found the favorite vids meme that I filled out a year ago. I'm so pleased that now I have completely different answers, heh. So, for posterity, here is take 2:

Post a list of your top five favorite vids you've made, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them, and explain why. This isn't about ( Read more... )

You guys, sdwolfpup and I had THE COOLEST IDEA.

Check it out.

We've created what we're calling the Stranger in a Strange Fandom Project (strangefandom). The idea is that people will volunteer to watch a few vids in a fandom they DON'T know, then write up a synopsis of what they think the show is about just based on what they saw. HOW FUN IS THAT.

Which ten vids would you take with you to a deserted island?

Post a list of your top five favorite vids you've made, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them, and explain why. This isn't about the BEST vids you've made, but which ones you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same. Even those vidders who don't have five ( Read more... )

For Valentine's Day, show 6 of your favourite vidders some love. You don't have to say much/anything just put their names down in a list, in any order as a post on your own lj. Make them smile, make them feel appreciated.
