A Fannish Taxonomy of Hotness (aka Hot! Hot! Hot) is a multifandom metavid by the Clucking Belles. It demonstrates a fannish way of seeing by cataloging many popular (and hot!) visual tropes of television and film: swords, hats, cigars, eyeglasses, black leather coats, tight black t-shirts, togas, etc. Movements are also catalogued: characters dance, swing from ropes, shove each other up against cars, etc.: all things fans love. Other montages focus on skin: the hero gratuitously taking off his shirt (or better yet his pants); the (often comic) episode featuring a main character naked in the bathtub. Crossdressing. Bondage. All of it: real hot!
