| Vidding Thoughts |

I have been in vidding mode the last two days, watching and listening to vids and reading all the vid meta I can. Vidding is so my primary fandom because although I have a lot of shows I watch and fandoms I pay attention to and read fic to, most of the time I just read fic for ships and am not interested in gen or daily happenings of shows. But I love gen for vidding, in fact I'd love to see it more and do more of it myself. I love to find out everything I can about vidding, I'll read almost anything about it and still be interested. And I still miss Vividcon, it feels like a dream that I went there, met so many awesome people and had such a wonderful time. Is it Vividcon 2007 yet?
( More vid thoughts under the cut )
I've realized that I don't give enough long feedback to vidders. There are a lot of vids that I love so much and I watch a LOT but my extent of my feedback is nothing at all, "I love it" to a paragraph or so. I'd like to apoligize for this as I feel bad about it. I understand how much long feedback is appreciated and I LOVE vids and want to let vidders know how much I enjoy and think about their work. But I really want to try to give more detailed feedback and have made it my new mission to try to send it out as much as I can from now on. What's held me back from it in the past is my usual perfectionistic tendencies. I feel if I send a long feedback email for a vid, it'll have to have ALL my thoughts and reactions to it and I know that will take a long time. To add to that, I feel I have to write something brilliant and if I don't then I shouldn't write anything at all until later when I can come up with something smarter. This comes with the knowledge that I admire a lot of the vidders out there and think they are OMG, so smart, and so I feel kind of hyperaware of them and what they'll think of me. I've realized I just need to work with what I have for right now and if I think of something else in the future, I can always send that later. So hopefully, you vidders (and maybe fic writers if I can manage it) will see some long feedback from me in your inbox soon.
In other fandom news, I am still loving Prison Break and thought the new episode tonight was awesome. I am addicted to the suspense and I continue to love all the characters, getting swept up in their storylines. I wholeheartedly rec ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) f1renze's vid to the show, Ragged Ass Road which captures everything I've wanted to see vidded in the first season from the master plan to the brothers love for each other to the cool motion. Just a gorgeous vid that has continued with my great pleasure to recruit more people into watching the show. I'm also enjoying Nip/Tuck in all its craziness and am impressed that finally the slash between Sean/Christian is actually getting explored. If only more shows were on cable and weren't afraid of the gay. There really needs to be more vids to the show, its very pretty visually and has great editing especially during the medical scenes, making them worth watching. Also finished Battlestar Galactica season 1 yesterday and it was amazing. Just about every episode has an interesting, suspenseful plot and a great ending. The characters are great, I loove Starbuck and I like all the rest of the characters and their relationships. Can't wait to finish the second season so I can watch the third with everyone. |
