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!

eeeeeeeeeeee!

I also think BSG vidding is rather separate from the rest of vidding fandom. IT IS THE ONLY FANDOM I LIKE.

I went to leave a comment and then before I posted it I remembered that I am NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NICE SIGN UP FOR THINGS. because I have to write my dissertation!!! but here it is for posterity:

um, YAY.

you can totally put me in the queue, but by 2010 all my recs may be stale. I'm not so active in fandom so I'd probably be at least in part reposting old recs. I could do February, though, theoretically.

here's another idea: if you give me one day a week I could post regular BSG FEMSLASH vid recs -- if you're interested! I think people haven't seen a lot of that work. I wouldn't want to scoop the official reccers, though, many of whom also like the ladies. does it matter if more than one person recs the same vid?

otherwise I can just post my recs a la carte, no worries.

which I will still try to do...

EEEEEEEEEE!

*clings to bsg vidding fandom and ALL EIGHT OF US WHO ARE IN IT*

That's tragic that you have to do real world smart things instead of squee about femslash vids, but as you say, you can TOTALLY just DECIDE to post one a week and I think EVERYONE HERE WOULD LOVE THAT.

As you know, I collect non-canon pairing vids (though not as completely as I used to), and I will definitely be reccing a girlslash vid or two because my goal will be to be really comprehensive and recc a wide variety of vids (finding an m/m slash one's gonna be HARD though if I don't go for Baltar/Gaeta; no wait there was that crazy Sam/Duck constructed reality vid, that'll do.)

But it's not going to be anything like as comprehensive as the knowledge you have of the field, of femslash masterlist person. ;)

*enables you to at least post ad hoc recs!*

Hi! *waves* If you're still interested, we would love to have you post regular or regular-ish femslash recs! Or a la carte recs, or whatever works best for you.

I would say try not to duplicate recs at least at first. As the months wear on, I don't think it would be a big deal if more than one person recs the same vid, as most people aren't going to check the archives. So if you get to skip-40 and don't see the vid there, I'd say no worries. Speaking tentatively. ;)

LOL, I FAIL at being incognito! or maybe I secretly hoped you would see this comment. ;)

as I said I probably shouldn't make any commitments right now, but I will do my best to start up random reccing. I have ambitions of doing write ups of vids posted AFTER I did massive roundups last summer, but I could repurpose the old ones too. I'm heading out of town tomorrow, though, so you probably won't hear much for me until next week at least. but yay bsgvidrecs!

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries! There's absolutely no commitment here. I mean, even for those who sign up, what are we going to do if they don't post? Make sad puppy eyes in their general direction, probably. In your case we won't even do that. ;)

Like Allie, I would think it absolutely fantastic if you wanted to just randomly pick your own femslash rec days. I'd love to see those and bow to your expertise in the subject. :) And being someone who came late to the fandom, I am a firm supporter of older recs too. Anytime.
