So welcome back to this blogging platform. If you got linked up with me by accident and are wondering how in the world you know me or whatever here is my fannish CV:
1. I am a vidder* and pretty much only that when it comes to created content. I never write fic unless it is a Nightmare on Elm Street crossover or fusion.
2. I was first a fannish lurker in The X-Files and later moved into Buffy and Angel where I actually learned how to speak with people and made life long friends. Seriously - my best friends I met in Buffy fandom.
3. I’m multifannish and it is more of a feature than a bug. I am also extremely... if I like something I really really like it. I’m still vidding Smallville. I’m actually vidding Smallville right this second.
4. I’m ridiculously easy to talk into something. Like all you have to do is hit 3 different points and I will watch your media and probably get way into it or agree to collaborate on your project
5. I’m In the midst of an insane creative cycle - I’ve been vidding since 2002 and this year I’ve made more vids than any year ever. When I think about I hear this voice in my head say “Will it ever stop?” And I have to respond, “Yo, I don’t know. Turn out the lights and I glow. To the extreme I rock the mike like a vandal light up a stage I wax a chump like a candle.” Then I have to forcibly stop myself because I want to say “Dance” next but that way lies madness and permanent ear worm. I go through this about 4 times a day on average, so it’s like - sorta weird up in here
6. I never joke about vids. I sometimes think I am joking but then when it is too late I realize that I just played myself and now I have a 30 minute DeanCas vid to Toto. For example.
7. I am painfully and earnestly sincere. I try to do irony and it ends up just being embarrassing. I thought I was supposed to be a good borderline Gen Xer and be cynical but I am actually such a good Gen Xer that I slacked on that because it’s just easier to not. I am sometimes amazed and aghast and amazed at how other people can wield ironic distance.
8. I’ve never met a sentence I couldn’t make into a run on. I say “so” and “really” and “like” way too much when I write and I’m weirdly self conscious about that and it will cause me not to post for like...a decade or so. Twitter has been really helpful in at least getting me to talk in fannish public spaces again.
9. So what have you been doing? Tell me everything!
*vidding as defined by what I do is basically clips to music. Like, there is a lot more than that simplistic take but if someone is new here and you want to talk about edits versus vids and share and learn and grow... that would be super cool.
