BSG Vid Recs Comm!

[beccatoria]

I meant to post about this like...two days ago or something. Or maybe it was yesterday. Whatever, the point is:

bsgvidrecs!

It's exactly what it sounds like! A free for all vid rec comm with one day a month for multi-fandom recs.

Anyone can post but since I'm the designated reccer for the month of July, I'm gonna hold back until then.

EVERYONE GO SIGN UP!

I can't figure out how I can take or leave BSG yet still want to make and watch vids? It's WEIRD! It's like vidding is an entirely separate fandom than the actual fandom, and I know I've heard people express that before, but I didn't really think I was one of them. :)

I get ENTIRELY what you mean. It's like the one stress-free area of fandom that's left? I mean, sure occasionally I'll skip past a vid I don't think I'll enjoy but...I've ALWAYS done that if it was a vid I don't think I'll enjoy, and as I mentioned previously there's a surprising amount of "let's just not focus on the finale," in the vidding comm which means...I don't feel that the LIKE IT/DISLIKE IT issues are as...front and centre? (Says she planning to make a 4.5 RAGE vid. Oops.)

I do know - as an extremely monofannish vidder though - what you mean about the weirdness of separating the areas out though because for me (and I think for you?) vidding is SOOOO tied up with my opinion on the show, it's basically a visual commentary. So while I totally get "vidding is my fandom" and appreciate it and love the art of vidding, vidding is not my fandom. But maybe BSG vidding is...?

Whatever, I say we don't question it and just go with what makes us have fun!

I think what I've discovered is that I actually enjoy commenting on BSG more than I enjoy the source itself? Which, despite fail, is honestly NOT a new development at all; I haven't rewatched an old episode of BSG since I started vidding a year ago (a year! hee!). I mean, I did think the show would pay me back eventually for that investment, but I guess even though it didn't, I can still enjoy the commenting aspect of vidding. *shrugs* Whatever, BSG, I AM KEEPING THE KVIDS.

ETA: Can we make a crack vid about how we're keeping our baby, where the babies are all the awesome vids and RDM is the papa who should stop preaching his stupid plot and finale? Hee.
