Welcome to FanloreProject:Vidding! This project was created in order to increase Fanlore coverage of vids and vidding culture. Hopefully, it can also be a fruitful place in which to brainstorm, share knowledge, and appreciate vidding.
Scope/What is Vidding?
To be filled out later, check out these pages for now
To-Do List/Wishlist
If you have a page you don't know much about but think ought to be made, even if you're not part of this project, feel free to add it to any of these lists.
Sites and Archives
Create or expand pages on the following
- AnimeMusicVideos.org - Especially expand Viewer's Choice Awards and investigate their other contests
- Festivids - Only covers up through 2017
- SPN AMV Archive
- IWTV AMV Archive
- Investigate Dreamwidth/Pillowfort/Livejournal/Bluesky for similar communities
Songs
Create or expand the following:
- Gay or European
- Just My Type (vidding meme about your favorite characters)
- LGBT by Cupcakke
- Poison and Wine
- Bi Bi Bi
- Getting Bi
- Headlock
- I Think My Girl is Bi
- Little Miss Perfect (song)
- Help FanloreProject:Tiktok fill out examples for pages under Category:TikTok Editing Trend. Vidders on other platforms are often inspired by TikTok editors, but you can also expand the TikTok vids lists themselves.
- Related, Category:Song Fandoms
Artists
Sometimes, vidding styles crop up around specific artists.
- Charli XCX, specifically Brat edits
- List of Taylor Swift Song inspired fanworks
Similarly, some music fandoms may be less centered around typical bandom activities, but rather creating fanworks using their songs.
Individual Vids
Fanlore isn't an archive of every fanwork ever created, but there isn't a notability requirement. If you feel like you have something to say about a vid, make a page for it!
Here's a non-exhaustive list of things you could talk about on a vid's page:
- Was it inspired by fic/art, or did someone make fic/art about the vid?
- Related, does it depict a popular AU?
- Did it win a contest? Was it shown at a convention?
- Did a screenshot go viral on Outofcontextanimash?
- Is there interesting commentary on it, in the comments or on a different website?
Here are some vids to make pages for:
- Dean Winchester - Rebel Just For Kicks, a Dean Winchester vid often called "the clicky vid" by the fandom. When OP's channel was briefly deleted, a post with the vid uploaded directly to Tumblr for archival purposes got 10k+ notes overnight.
Fandom/Character/Pairing Pages
Many pages have lots of examples of fanfiction or fanart, but not so much for vids. Let's change that!
- When you watch a really good vid for a niche (or even not so niche) fandom/ship/character, consider adding it to the relevant page.
- When you're editing a page for some other reason, see if you can find one interesting vid to add while you're at it.
- If you find a good playlist for fanvids of a ship/character, perhaps put it under the same heading as any fic recs lists.
- My (User:Clefspeare's) personal goal is to find at least three vids for any such page.
Other
- Check the glossary entries and see how thorough they are
- Need one for SunnyVids's #fanvidfeed hashtag
- Meta about what makes a good vid
- Those stupid posts complaining about "nobody makes vids anymore/people need to stop making tiktok fancams and make a REAL vid"
- Vidding contests, at conventions or otherwise
- Do people do Big Bangs with vids? I am often sad I can't readily collaborate on such challenges.
