Shoot. Did not reach goal of finishing vid before festivids sign ups closed, so while I may dink around a bit with it today, it is officially getting back burnered until I at least have my main festivid assignment done. Considering the audience for said vid is all of about five people, this is not a big deal. Is weird being desperately in love with a mostly dead fandom that was never even very big when it was alive. In some ways it is really nice, 'cause I can just lalalala and flail around and I'm not really (as) worried about sounding dumb or making bad vids, or accidentally stepping on a fannish landmine, since only a handful of people are paying attention anyway. If this vid ends up sucking as badly as I suspect it will, who is even going to notice in the bigger picture? That's actually nice.
But, I dunno. Since taking a break from Who (not the show, just the fandom) I do feel kind of disconnected. Which is kinda ironic since this is the most fannish I've felt in a long time. Festivids should help. There's the connection of fellow vidders being vidderly, but also everyone is splashing around in teeny tiny fandom pools within that. I look forward to writing up my Dear Festividder letter and reading other peoples and having carefully worded vidder support moments where everyone talks about their vidding process while not being too revealing and then the flailing over vids and the mad dash to guess who did what and...yeah. This is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.
And who knows, maybe I will be super productive enough that I can get back to vidding the one true three way married love of Mac, Li Ann, and Victor.
