a little story to tell you what the vid's about: We started making this vid over eight months ago. We got to talking about how Yuletide is a wonderful change from the usual fandom process - where most fandoms are like a marriage, a long-term relationship in which you have your ups and your downs and your loyalty, Yuletide offers us the chance of a hot steamy one-night stand: a way to experiment with a fandom that you would normally never write, or that doesn't sustain your long-term fannish interest. I think I said that someone should vid Yuletide the way that lithiumdoll vidded all the cancelled shows, and I think that eruthros said, wow, that vid should be set to Angel of the Morning. A song about happy, sometimes poignant, unrepentant casual sex.
In the end we looked at over 230 sources. Or possibly more, we can't even remember. There are 191 sources (all Yuletide fandoms) included in the vid.
Of course this represents only a fraction of the hundreds of fandoms that have been written for Yuletide, and of course it represents our inevitably skewed perspective.
But for the most part, this is it, this is Yuletide: the Age of Sail and the vampires, the independent queer film and the obscure anime, the honest love of old black and white movies and the maniacal desire to write sex scenes using all our favourite childhood icons. Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are here; Susan Cooper and C.S. Lewis are here; Vladimir Nabokov and S.E. Hinton and Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse and Sarah Waters and Douglas Adams and Tony Kushner are here, all sitting side by side with bad 80s romcoms and sports movies and dance movies and the Bible and a little bit of Bollywood. That's what Yuletide means to us: the willingness to make fic and make fandom out of anything and everything, to throw yourself wantonly, joyfully, and passionately into a new fandom, even if it can only last a short time.

Lyrics:
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no reason to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
so it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay
With me
Through the tears
Of the pain
Of the years
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh baby baby oh baby
