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!
The vid premiered at the 2005 "Club Vivid" show at Vividcon.

Reactions/Reviews
- "I'd like to watch this one another thousand times. It has SO MUCH HOT, and it makes me want to dance around. I was very surprised to see the immortal EJO swimsuit scene there in the middle. They managed to cram in just about everybody."[1]
- "Even though this vid is about so much more than just dancing, I always remember it as a dancing vid. It's certainly very dynamic."[2]
- "*glee* I first saw this when it premiered during Club Vivid at Vividcon 2005, when it won over the entire room, in spades. The title sums up the entire vid -- this really is a fannish taxonomy of hotness, organized by theme, with each them leading seamlessly into the next (which is just so brilliantly done I can't even tell you). It has girls, and boys, and girls and boys, and girls and girls, and boys and boys. Some of the "hot" themes are what you'd expect -- shirtlessnes, nakedness, kissing, dancing -- and some will make you go "hee! yes!" because man, do we find more hot than just nakedness. It's just wonderful -- fun and happy and sexy and managing to be a big meta statement about all of us at the same time. *loves*"[3]
- "This is a taxonomy of FANNISH kinks, but that includes plenty of kink-kinks as well. There's a whole section on whipping! And chains! And torture! Playfully takes those scenes out of their original context and makes an "ooooooh!" face at them."[4]
- "It's brilliant and excellently put together and always puts me in a squeeful mood :o)"[5]
- "Look! Shanghai Noon! And look! Methos shoving Duncan against the car is still one of the hottest things I have seen in my life - Peter Wingfield is so very, very pretty. And then - fencing and naked men and people in mental institutions and long black trenchcoats...! This vid reminds me of everything I love about fandom - and it's a lot to love! ♥"[6]
- "The vids I found most accessible at the DIY conference were videos like A Fannish Taxonomy of Hotness, where you don’t have to be familiar with a particular show to understand them but you have to be familiar with TV and the clichés of the medium.[7]
