I totally understand that the mediums are different and I mostly like the ways they are different, but honestly, the idea that an argument or opinion, or whatever, that I express is somehow more aggressive/challenging to another POV because I vidded it instead of writing is it kind of disconcerting? I don't really know what to do with that information, even though I don't disagree with what you're saying here.

And I think Redactica is a special case in that it took actual entire swaths of canon and made something slightly different but not entirely different to address specific issues that large parts of fandom had specific problems with. I would like to think that this doesn't apply to a more run of the mill vid??? *hopes and ignores last two vids*

Then again, I may actually just be arrogant. Because if pressed, I maybe would have categorized my BSR vid as AU on, like, the fifth try but I would have called it a whole host of other kinds of things--character, ensemble, meta--first. But of course it is AU.

I liked "redacted" for the implication that certain things would be blotted out. :D

Vidding is SO FASCINATING. If asked, I would have said that save for a few (and I would've counted you! Deal with it), the Big Damn Vidders left BSG vidding before I got here. There seems to be this widely held notion that vidders are intimidating, expressed even by many vidders themselves, yet I think most vidders would eschew the label? I mean, maybe not, but people I would call Big Damn Vidders almost always, once I have gotten to know them, self-identify as not that kind of vidder and refer to this elusive "elite" vidding community as somebody else. I guess I just don't understand where that comes from and why it seems to be such a pervasive opinion.

I think this comment is pointless.
