Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2018: Week 1
We Didn't Start The Fire is a multifandom vid depicting fifty years of fannish history from 1960 to 2010. It first premiered at Vividcon 2012 and then uploaded to Dreamwidth in August of the same year. Four years later, in April 2016, it was cross-posted to Archive of Our Own.
The vid is a collaboration between Dreamwidth users, fiercynn and Scribe. Though development for the vid began in 2008, the vid was not completed until four years later in 2012. The vid is an amalgamation of fandom activity throughout a span of fifty years. Footage from popular film and TV franchises are included, combined with footage of fan activities.
