#festivids 2024

[girlfailure-anita]

Dear Festividder... (Festivids 2024)

Thank you most kindly for creating a video for me! I really appreciate your time and effort :)

General: I am such a shipper, but watch just about anything for a fandom. From crack to character studies to AUs to friendship/family vids. I have omnivorous taste. In fact, one thing I miss from early YouTube days were the trailer AUs, where the audio for a movie would be the basis of the vid (examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXzMFMhi3tg or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTV6ubfQJcI ). That was such a marvel to me as a teen and really inspired my love of vidding. 

Music/Audio: If it fits the tone of the video, then it is the right one. Anything old or new, popular or niche, original or cover. It doesn’t even have to be music, as seen above. If it inspires the work, please feel free to use it. I have discovered countless songs bc of fanvids and I love works from genres I rarely stray into.

I have one caveat: If you want to utilize the dialogue of the fandom/content in your work, I do prefer instrumental pieces. I’m just really sensitive to when lyrics and dialogue overlap, even when there are subtitles, and find it difficult to discern between them otherwise.

Individual Fandoms

Willow (2022)- Wow, I love women. The show getting cancelled was one thing, but removing it from the streaming service was truly evil. Just about anything related to this fandom would do, but I prefer the characters Dove/Elora, Kit and Jade. If you wanna make any shipping content (some f/f? 👀👀👀), I’d be down. 

Road to Avonlea (TV Show)- If you feel up to vidding this show, I would accept anything, though I have always been more of a Izzy/Felix girl. And it would be nice to see something that wasn’t Gus and Felicity... But if that is what speaks to you, create to your heart's content!

Spy (2015) [SAFETY]- I worked at a movie theatre when this came out and saw the end before seeing the beginning. Because of that, I am full in on Susan Cooper/Rick Ford, though any ship would do. I really enjoy the music from this film as well (Mika, Verka Serduchka, Gin Wigmore, etc) so if it was utilized in the creation process, it would be super cute!

Stardew Valley (Video Game)- I kinda just put this here because I could. I know this would be especially difficult to vid, but just about anything with any farmer/bachelor/bachelorette/townsfolk. If you wanna be more specific though, I enjoy Harvey, Leah, and Willy the most. You could even include mods if you want. Possibly getting to see the opportunities in vidding is why this is here.

Annihilation (2018 Garland) [SAFETY]- An incredible film with a lot of interesting characters and techniques that could be explored through a vid. I really enjoyed the five women’s relationship/dynamic, but anything is on the table for this: from something more mellow to playing into the body-horror.

Pushing Daisies- Kristen Chenoweth as Olive was certainly my favourite part of this show, but I found the characters and atmosphere incredibly charming. I think something beyond Chuck/Ned shipping would be nice to see, especially because I didn’t really care for them as a couple. I was always holding out hope for Olive/Ned. That said, I really liked Chuck as an individual and was excited to see her personal story lines taking off beyond Ned. Also Lee Pace as Ned was such a performance! Anyways-- Please feel free to make something that speaks to you. Because if you enjoy making it, I will enjoy watching it :)

Dear Festividder... (Festivids 2024)

Letter under the cut!

First off - thank you so much for putting your time and effort into making a vid for me~! <3

I love pretty much all aspects of all the fandoms I’ve requested, so I’m sure I’ll be so happy and grateful for whatever vid you create, but here’s some stuff to help if you want a little bit more to go on! My suggestions are just that: suggestions - I love to be surprised! <3

Music:

I would love it that the song is the right one for the vid - I have pretty broad musical tastes and there’s not a lot I don’t like, although I’m less keen on the more electronic/dubstep-y side of dance music. I really like folk music, pop-punk, 90s/00s boybands/girlbands, pop-rock, rock, pop (80s, 90s, 00s and some modern pop), 80s power ballads, singer-songwriters with their own instruments, some country, musical theatre soundtracks, K-Pop and J-Pop… I’m pretty old-school with my music tastes, but honestly I’ll listen to almost anything and if it works for the vid - that’ll make me love the song anyway! A lot of my favourite songs have come from vids <3

General:

I love my ships xD <3 However, general fandom vids are great too <3 Character studies, friendship vids, found-family trope vids, cute vids, sad vids, silly vids, bad-ass vids… They all warm different parts of my heart <3 <3

On to the individual fandoms:

~ Alexa & Katie (TV)

I only discovered this show recently, and I fell for it almost instantly! It's such a heartwarming show that actually deals with pretty serious topics <3 Katie x Aiden was top-tier enemies-to-lovers, so I'd love a vid focusing on them! Other topics could be Alexa and Katie's friendship over the course of the show, and general humour/crack vids! <3

~ Before I Fall (2017) [SAFETY]

This film is *chef’s kiss* <3 I love the time-loop aspect, so anything based around would be great~ A Sam character study would be brilliant, or anything Sam x Kent-related - they are such an underrated ship <3 <3

~ Colin From Accounts (TV)

If you've watched Colin From Accounts, you're one of the good ones! Seriously, this show is so underrated, and now that I've watched season 2 (spoilers ahead!), I'd love vids focused on Gordon and Ashley's developing relationship and their discovery of each other's family, the challenges that they face together, and that s2 cliffhanger! Anything Colin-related would be a hit vid too - I mean, that dog was born for the screen!

~ Dramaworld (TV)

If you know and have watched this show, I salute you! <3 Any vids related to Claire x Joon will be loved <3 <3 S1 vids are welcomed~ I know a lot of people might have simply seen s1 and not s2, and if this is you - go watch s2! It takes everything from s1 and turns it up to 11 with a bigger budget, more ambitious storylines and twists! <3 If we’re including s2 eps, [SPOILERS] angst-filled Claire x Joon break up vids, humour vids, dark vids based around the destruction of Dramaworld itself/Evan’s deception, Joon/Claire character studies... Anything goes!

~ Flight 29 Down

Jackson x Melissa is my ship (sorry Jaylor shippers!) Would love any vids focusing on the two of them, and would also love a Jackson character study vid. Humour vids and vids focusing on the friendship and overall arc of the whole cast’s journey in getting off the island would be great too~! Again, surprise me!

~ If Only (2004) [SAFETY]

Time loops are one of my favourite story tropes, and I love the unique take of having just one loop in the film - Paul Nicholls and Jennifer Love Hewitt were brilliant in their roles! For the vid, I'd love a Ian x Samantha vid - something focusing on the bittersweetness/angst of Samantha's death and Ian having to learn to let her go by sacrificing himself in her place </3

~ The In Between (2022) [SAFETY]

I love this film with a passion~ I’m a sucker for cheesy/overly-dramatic/romantic ghost stories, and this ticks all the boxes. Angsty Tessa x Skylar vids would suit me perfectly, but if you have any other ideas for vids, feel free to make them~! <3

~ The Sarah Jane Adventures

I love SJA so much - it's like a warm, comforting hug! It has such a wholesome vibe to it that I love! I was such a Clyde x Rani shipper during my viewing of the show, and to watch Clyde (spoilers!) admit his feelings for Rani during his Tales of the TARDIS ep was such a validation (still waiting on Rani Takes On The World s3!). Elisabeth Sladen was amazing as Sarah Jane, and a vid focused on her would be great <3 Otherwise, fun, heartwarming vids based around the whole cast and Clyde, Rani, Luke and Maria would all be welcomed <3

~ Schmigadoon! (TV)

First off - if you've watched Schmigadoon, but not Schmicago (Schmigadoon season 2), this is your sign to watch Schmicago right now! Done that? Great, welcome back! xD I love both seasons of this show so much, and the musicals that they lovingly reference <3 Any Josh x Melissa vids focusing on the arc their relationship throughout both seasons would be great! Fun/heartwarming vids featuring the many characters in the worlds of both Schmigadoon and Schmicago would be appreciated, and even fun vids that use some sort of musical OST as the soundtrack would be super!

~ Wreck (TV 2022)

It's the slasher/comedy/mystery show set on a cruise ship (until it wasn't) that stole my heart <3 Seriously, watch this show if you like slashers in any way, and if you've only seen season 1, watch season 2! Jamie x Olly vids, Vivian x Pippa vids and Cormac x Rosie vids would all be brilliant to see! You could lean into the fun slasher/teen horror vibes, delve into the deeper horror of Jamie's arc over the two seasons, or do something completely different - your choice! <3

Okay, a late entry for the January posting meme... January 21 - what's one of your favorite fandom related memories? lyntergalactic

I have so many favorite memories, it’s very hard to pick one….. but it is Festivids Eve so I’m gonna talk about my excitement about this vid exchange. Cause it’s my favorite moment right now because I feel like I’m staying up late with milk and cookies waiting for Santa to arrive. I have so many great memories and VID RECS in this long post.

Festivids started in 2009 as a vid exchange for rare fandoms. Which was great because I think a lot of vidders really needed this so we could celebrate and get exposed to a whole bunch of new small and rare fandoms, unheard of media and literary sources that hadn't been really been vidded before.

Each year there’s a guest-the-vidder post, and @bingeling has been great about organizing live watches on discord. Sometimes I miss a few vids here and there during the initial weekend of go-live because it’s SO MANY VIDS, but then I always catch people’s recs or vid posts in the following weeks.

It’s just a joy to keep finding new things that I never realized I wanted and needed in my life because there’s so many interesting media and books out there to make vids for and people’s imaginations and technical skills continue to blow my mind.

Way back in 2009 when I signed up for the very first exchange I got assigned to Sol-se and matched up on the source/fandom that I had introduced her to: Little Mosque on the Prairie. We literally spent weeks months and years talking about Little Mosque on the Prairie, being a fandom of two. AO3 was in its early days yet so there wasn’t even any fic, okay. So when I got matched up, made the vid, the guest the vidder post happened and everyone guessed it was me. Everyone likes to claim that they made all the vids so I said that I indeed did make it, of course I did. Yet I was still able to cast doubt in Sol-se’s mind about whether or not I had made it because?? Who knew, maybe there was someone else who happened to get into the show and make an awesome vid for it. It was very fun hypothesizing with her in DMs about who could have made the vid if it wasn’t in fact me. It all comes back to love.

The first vid I made for Festivids in 2009: All For Swinging You Around.

Little Mosque on the Prairie. Ensemble. LOVE. Y’all I had bought Little Mosque DVDs through the CBC website back in the day and was still learning how to rip things. Aspect ratios. Scan lines. It was a TIME I do not miss. Though I do still have the DVDs and probably could rip them better now.

My other favorite memories from festivids is (aside from all of the vids) are the vids made for ME over the years!

2009 When You’re Strange by colls, a Sanctuary vid featuring music by Echo and the Bunnyman. A++ song choice and Amanda Tapping’s face will always inspire me. Sanctuary did so much with so little and this is such a great vid for a fantastic lil’ genre Canadian show.

2012 Meant to Fly by e-transitions. This is a Modern Family vid focusing on Manny, Gloria and Jay who were my favorite of the extended family on that show. Manny in particular is my favorite! This is Nicki Minaj’s Starships and it’s super sweet and endearing look at family coming together and reaching new heights together. And shenanigans. All of my favorites things.

2013 Fame by chaila (also on tumblr here). This is a vid for the show Transparent and focuses on Maura. Do you know what it’s like to get a gift from someene whose fanworks you have loved and admired for years?? I was so blown away by the cover chaila found for this vid. Mree’s vocals are so evocative and still has this powerful determination in the vocals. It’s really, incredibly moving. I was so lucky to receive a gift like this.

2015 Simple Machine by sol-se. This is for a 2014 webseries called Caper which I can’t even remember how I found. I think I was on an Amy Berg kick and was trying to watch everything she’s written for. The vid focuses on Penny who is an inventor who created a super suit and of course a white dude came along and tried to take credit for all of her inventions and hero’ing, so that’s what this vid follows. The show was incredibly dorky and sweet. Superhero fanfic, low-budget staffed with people who were able to call in a lot of favors for cameos along the way. The show also has Beth Riesfgraf and Harry Shrum, too! Along with a few others.

And of course Solvi delighted in being able to make me a vid for ANOTHER SHOW where we were a fandom of two. :D the vid is great and I have a strong affinity for Guster’s music because I listened to so many of sdwolfpup’s vids with that music when I first started vidding.

2019 I GOT SIX VIDS in 2019. I pretty much cried when go-live happened because??? How??? I guess I just had really appealing requests that year. So let me tell you about them.

Little Lion Leo by turquoisetumult. This is for the AMC version of Humans which is a parallel present/scifi show based on the Swedish version of the show Äkta människor. I had actually vidded Leo for the Swedish version but I really really adored Colin Morgan’s portrayal of Leo Elster. Mumford and Sons is such a mainstay in vidding circles and for good reason: the musicality is so gripping and the vocals area always so intense and lovely. That means it’s perfect for Leo and his angst and pain. THE BLOOD! The feelings. Trying to survive with his synth family in a world that wants to end them.

I just rewatched the vid and I immediately want to rewatch the show now, omg. Gemma Chan was extraordinary in the show and the show had a fantastic approach to discussing the the ethics and actual legal standing of artificial humans that I hadn’t other shows touch upon that well.

Raising Hell by bingeling which is a vid for the movie Ready or Not which was one of my favorite movies from 2019. Samara Weaving and that wedding dress getting progressively more fucked up throughout the film as she fucks up the that shitty family?? Kill the bad rich people, those fuckers.Beautiful. Cathartic. This is on top of the well-known fact that I fucking love Kesha’s music (I’ve vidded Kesha 9 times since 2010). Bingeling’s editing here is punchy as hell and this SONG!!!!!!! It makes me crack the fuck up, especially with the lyrics at 1:49. It’s perfect. My heart. My heart. Kesha! Everyone is trying to murder her and she murders them instead. Badass woman with a wedding dress, bandolier and sneakers.

Pity Party by winterevanesce. This is also for Ready or Not. Phenomenal song choice. I have no idea who the artist is and never heard of her before but that doesn’t matter. This song was made for this vid. The editing on this vid is orgasmic. I literally am slack-jawed each time I watch this vid. I cannot emphasize that enough. I love it when people know exactly what I want and need in my vidding soul.

The Middle by turquoisetumult. This is a Fleabag vid! Featuring Fleabag and Fleabag/Priest. It’s a poignant cover of the song, too! It’s so sweet and makes me ache so much for Fleabag because heyooo, shit is hard, esp when you tend to fuck things up along the way. I love how this vid makes want her to do better and have better things in her life. That hope! So good.

When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? By starlady. Star Trek Discovery, Mirror Philippa and Michael. This is to Billie Eilish’s song “Bury a Friend” which I had never heard before but it is dark. It is sexy. The tone of the song and the synth-y beats and clicks drive me up the wall with the editing in the vid. Philippa’s sinister competence. That confidence. Starlady and I go way, way back and of course she could make me something that hits ALL OF MY FUCKING BUTTONS. I have long been vocal about how much I love Star Trek and women. And villain women and anti-heroes. Hhhhhnngh. Dark sexy vid of my Empress.

You Should See Me in a Crown, by AurumCalendula. Star Trek Discovery, Mirror Philippa. TO BILLIE EILISH. Because Billie Eilish's music screams Philippa! lmao. Everybody knows exactly what my fucking type is and I AM HERE FOR IT FOREVER. This vid features more of the Mirrorverse episodes and Philippa and HHHHNNGHHHHH. I am so loved by being seen because y’all know me so well. Aurum’s editing always has me glued to the screen. I am also here for Philippa’s face, oh my god. NOTE: Click on the dropbox link in the end notes to stream it. Aurum’s got all their videos private while dealing with some copyright strikes on their account (ugh YouTube).

Those are just the vids made for me. There are many more vids that I have recced for festivids over the years and so much more to come!

The 2023 Festivids Collection currently has 137 fanvids and 111 fandoms right now. A bounty!! Barbie vid! Bottoms1 Cycling RPF?! Vids for books! Hong Kong action films! Janelle Monae and musicals. And more omg.

Festivids. Featuring lots of great fannish memories and great vids. Highly recommend. It's also been a great way for people getting into vidding to make their first vid, too! I love this exchange.

Year in Vidding Review: 2023

Year-end round-up/meme: 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022

April What (Yennefer of Vengerberg) The Witcher Netflix Making of "What" commentary: do it for the process (and for Yennefer!) The Witcher Netflix Mr. Brightside (Jaskier/Geralt/Yennefer) The Witcher Netflix

June Skipping Stones (Fringilla Vigo) The Witcher Netflix

August In Our Wake (Vilgefortz/Geralt) The Witcher Netflix

December [Festivid Assignment] - redacted until reveals! [Festivid Treat] - redacted until reveals!

Review questions under the cut.

Random process notes:

Well, I have been kidding for *counts* 16 years now?? I guess I kind of know what I’m doing when I have a good idea of what a vid is like inside my head. Which is why most of these vids took less than a week to make and none of them were on my actual to-make list that I had written down at the beginning of the year. Flighty ADHD/anxiety brain just latching onto the feelings of the moment and zooming across the timeline until I can call it done. I think I started two non-witcher vids during the year before Festivids but the witcher hyperfixation remains too strong. Everything else falling to the WIP piles. I tried to finish my Moonhaven vid but couldn’t focus. Tried to finish my Green Knight and Blade vids but no, my brain was more interested in writing +70k of fic this year, aha.

Overall thoughts:

HEY I made Festivid stuff! I can vid-non Witcher things! I was really worried there that my brain was just forever stuck on Witcher but! I did it.

Anyway. I really love vidding The Witcher Netflix and keep building up my clip gallery for easy reference for when I can settle in for the next witcher vid. I keep fuck up my exports though because I’m doing everything too quickly and not paying enough attention. So there’s some export-related things and a few minor clips I would have changed if I weren’t caught up in a in a rush. But overall I’m very, very happy with my crop of vids this year.

Favorite Vid:

Most of the time I have upwards of 8-16 vids a year and it’s easier to pick a favorite. When I do so few… they’re all my favorite. For different reasons.

For my Yennefer vid it’s my favorite editing.

For Mr. Brightside it’s my favorite song choice and tone (this is a cover in the style of The B-52s) for Jaskier.

My Fringilla vid — it’s my favorite thing that came together from all of the season footage of her character from seasons 1 and 2 and the song just makes me so happy that it tied everything together for her.

For the Vilgefortz/Geralt vid, oh it’s my favorite because it’s my pure id, heh, and my favorite build/pacing of all my vids.

My festivids are my favorite because I have been wanting to make things them for awhile now but hadn’t had the focus. And then I did!

Hardest to make:

The only thing that was hard was me exporting shitty stuff and not realizing it until days or weeks after I uploaded and crossposted. Anyway. I took my time with my festivid exports so those should look pretty good. Most successful:

They are all successful in my heart. I love them.

My best vid:

Probably my Fringilla or Vilgefortz/Geralt vid. I’m so happy how they turned out.

Most fun vid:

Mr. Brightside. I love playing with Jaskier’s humor with the song choice and the transitions.

Things I learned in 2023:

Mmm, I am still worked up about my fic WIPs and life anxieties that I wasn’t able to do more vidding things that I wanted. As for the projects themselves, I learned that it’s very handy to have a standing clip gallery all labelled and ready for when I want to make my next Witcher Netflix vid.

In 2024:

I always want to be ambitious in the new year but always end up wandering in completely unexpected directions. In any case I would love to finish my Moonhaven vid and get my brain in order to find the last of the Black Sails source I need for a vid idea that has been eating my brain for 4 months now. I also have my Philippa Eilhart Witcher vid I want to make as well as a season 3 Witcher Netflix vid too that’s taking up space in my brain.

End of Year Vidding Meme 2023

It's time for the annual round up. I’ve starred co-vids with @periru3!

Love Today (Peau d'âne) [Festivids]

Beverly Hills (Columbo) [Festivids]

Celebrity Skin (Chucky) [Festivids] *

I Can Cook Too (Big Eden) [Festivids]

Your Woman (Ted Lasso)

INHUMAN ILLUSORY SOUL FUSION MAGIC ~ Earth as a Character Gallery ~ (Steven Universe) [Vid Big Bang] *

And So It Goes (Persuasion) [Woman's Place Vid Exchange]

Revolution Rock (Star Wars) [VidUKon]

Odds Are (Sirens) *

Masochism Tango (Star Trek)

Lovely Day (Good as Hell) (Wicker Man) *

Ghost (multifandom) *

Cassandra (Yellowjackets) [Woman's Place Vid Auction]

Golden Boy (Our Flag Means Death)

Destroying Angels (Yellowjackets) [FanWorks]

Favourite Vid of the Year: I think I have to go with the whole vid big bang as my favorite. 3 vids in one (plus extended credits)! It combines two of my favorite things, Steven Universe and Revolutionary Girl Utena and pushed me in a lot of different directions. Really love "Celebrity Skin," too.

Least Favourite: I'm happy with all of them! There are ones I like more or less than others but none I'm really dissatisfied with.

Vid Most Unappreciated By The Universe: I'd love if more people watched "Golden Boy." I'm really happy with it and it's a follow up to a vid that is very well-appreciated by the universe — I wish it were more appreciated. I probably should have saved it for a premiere and not been so impatient to get it out!

Most Fun Vid: I made a lot of silly fun ones with Periru — "Ghost" is probably the silliest.

Vid With The Single Sexiest Moment: Hmmmmm, once again I'm not sure "sexy" is my main vibe. I don't think I even used the moment I found sexiest in this season of OFMD in my vid, lol. I guess I'll have to go with "everything Jennifer Tilly does" in "Celebrity Skin."

Most Successful: Far and away "Beverly Hills." Love how much love there is for Columbo.

Biggest Vid Fail: Mostly just not having a lot of juice midyear! I have a lot of ideas on the back burner that I haven't pulled together yet.

Hardest Vid To Make: "Truth" (the Steven segment of our VBB) was probably the hardest to piece together narratively. There was a lot of back and forth about what we wanted our focus to be. "Cassandra" took a lot of trying things out to get a song that clicked for me, but once I did it went more easily.

Most Unintentionally Telling Vid: I think "Masochism Tango" reveals a lot about how much I like seeing Kirk topless, but so does my bedroom wall. Thematically that vid is not unintentionally telling about me, though, lol — it's about how unintentionally telling Star Trek is about Kirk.

Last Year’s Goals:

- Finish the big Buffy wip I’ve had on the backburner for awhile

I didn't even touch it uggggggggh. Goal for 2024!

- Make something for the None English Fest in February and the Vid Big Bang in March

Done and done! Yay!

- Make a character study vid for a side character

Yes, I had a Nate vid really come out of nowhere and demand to be made.

- This is really up to the vagaries of fate, but I’d like to attend FanWorks in person

This was VERY up to the vagaries of fate. Maybe next year?

Goals For Next Year:

- Finish the damn Buffy vid!

- Continue a vid series

- Attend VidUKon in person (yay!)

Dear Festiver Letter 2024

I actually remembered to sign up for Festivids this year. Letter under the cut.

Hello festividder/pinch hitter/treat giver. Thank you so much for making something for me. Obviously any prompts are optional, I just like to provide information and suggestions in case they’re helpful. I know I’ll love whatever you make for me.

(Most of this letter is reused from previous years except for some different fandoms and a couple of edits.)

General Likes:

I absolutely adore when songs match with the visuals. Clips that follow the lyrics, a story that is told through the video, or just a song that is chosen because it fits the characters.

Specific lyrics that relate to the fandom, character, or pairing > Generic love song.

Shippy videos

Friendship videos.

Videos about specific characters.

Videos about the whole group of characters.

Videos based on the work as whole.

Videos based on a specific aspect of the work.

Hugs

Kisses

Dancing

Holding hands

Showing the progression of a friendship or romance.

Some likes I put in letters for fanfiction exchanges but might be relevant for videos as well:

Fluff

Humor

Cozy scenes.

Casual touching.

Little soft/quiet moments between friends or significant others.

People being really good at what they do and their friends/partners being impressed.

Teaching each other.

Communities supporting each other.

Women who get stuff done.

Polyamory.

Marriage proposals.

Weddings.

Female Friendship.

Found Families.

True companions.

General dislikes:

I don’t have any specific visual triggers, but I would prefer any strobe effects, lens flares, or stuttery cuts be kept to a minimum.

I’m not a huge fan of lyrics placed on the screen. I find them visually distracting.

Rap or Hip Hop (Nothing wrong with them, the beats just tend to hurt my head.)

The screaming kind of music. Again, it hurts my head.

Videos where the song doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the characters, canon, or video.

Music:

Songs with lyrics are my preference, but if you have the absolute most perfect instrumental song, go for it.

I like a wide range of genres and I particularly love 20s-40s Big Band, Early Jazz, Doo-Wop, 50s-70s Classic Rock, Motown, Classic Musicals, Tom Chapin, and Postmodern Jukebox.

With fandoms set in the past I especially enjoy videos set to period accurate songs or Postmodern Jukebox in the style of songs from that period.

Specific Fandoms:

The Court Jester (1955) [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: A few references to death and some mild violence. The main character is sometimes enchanted to court another character.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: The Court Jester

Ships: Jean/Hawkins.

I’m excited about basically anything for this fandom, the song and dance numbers, the fighting, the humor, the movie as a whole, anything. Jean/Hawkins is one of my favorite ships ever.

-

Eloise at the Plaza/Eloise at Christmastime [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: In the second movie the bad guy tries to trick a woman into marrying him and briefly locks up six-year-old Eloise. I can't think of anything else.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Eloise at the Plaza

Ships: I ship all the canon pairings. I'm especially fond of Rachel/Bill.

I would love anything fluffy about these two movies. They were filmed together and are basically one large movie about Eloise's adventures so anything from Eloise having fun, to Nanny trying to keep up with Eloise's adventures, to the interactions everyone else has with Eloise and her assorted friendships, to a shippy video about any/all of the pairings would be delightful.

-

High Society [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: None that I can think of.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: High Society

Ships: Tracy/Dexter, Liz/Mike, Tracy/Dexter/Mike/Liz

This is such a fun and pretty movie, I'd love anything you'd like to make about it. Particularly something about one of my ships, about the musical numbers, or about Caroline. I haven't seen The Philadelphia Story, which this movie is based on and is also in the tagset, but if you'd like to make a video combining the two, I would enjoy that as well.

-

Liberty’s Kids (Cartoon) (40 x 30 minute episodes.)

Fandom content notes: It’s the American Revolution so there is a fair amount of violence. There’s hardly any blood shown on screen but they don’t shy away from showing how terrible war is. A character is tarred and feathered. Slavery and racism are also portrayed and specifically shown to be wrong. One of the main characters nearly dies from a smallpox inoculation.

Fandom specific DNW: The war, slavery, or smallpox as a focus. Appearances by those things are fine, just not a video based around them.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Liberty’s Kids

Ships: Sarah/James.

I’d especially love a found family focus or a Sarah/James video. But also, feel free to get creative and make a video about the historical aspects and set it to whatever musical choice you like. While my preference in any fandom is fluff, I do have a fondness with the Sarah/James pairing for slightly darker, though still ultimately fluffy, videos that show that they’re living during a war and that with the class difference their love won’t be easy.

On The Town (1949) [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: A small amount of harassment played for laughs, from Hildy to Chip and between Ozzie and Claire. One line in a song presents street harassment as a cute element of small town life.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: On The Town

Ships: Ivy/Gabey, Hildy/Chip, Claire/Ozzie

I’d just love something fun here. I ship all three of the couples and I love the six of them as a big friend group. Anything that shows off how much fun they’re all having would be amazing.

Secondhand Lions (2003) [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: There are some scenes of war and violence in flashback. There is a flashback where two characters are drugged and shanghaied. At least one horse is injured/possibly killed. There is discussion of hunting the lion. The lion eventually dies of heart failure. Fish and salesmen are shot at. There are a number of guns. There is a reference to a character having died in childbirth. One character has a heart attack and recovers. Two main characters die off-screen. There’s a brief scene with child abuse.

Fandom specific DNW: The brief funeral for the lion. The deleted scene funeral.

Ships: Jasmine/Hub. (Lesser extent: Walter/His Wife, Walter/Sheik’s Grandson)

I would love absolutely anything you want to make here. I especially love the relationship between Walter and his uncles, and the love story between Jasmine and Hub. Any appearances by the pig who thinks he’s a dog, the chicken standing on the pig’s back, or the deleted scene of shooting ears of corn like skeet would be loved. I absolutely adore the soundtrack to the stage musical if that inspires anything.

Sesame Street (US TV Henson-era 1969 - 1990) (Mostly viewable in clips, loads of episodes, though many are unviewable.)

Fandom content notes: One episode deals with the aftermath of the death of a main character.

Fandom specific DNW: The aforementioned death of Mr. Hooper. Videos focused on Muppets other than maybe Big Bird or Oscar.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Sesame Street

Ships: Linda/Bob, Maria/Linda, Maria/Luis, Maria/David, Susan/Gordon, Mr. Macintosh/Willy, Maria/Luis/David, Susan/Gordon/Bob, Bob/David/Linda/Luis/Maria/Olivia

I absolutely adore the human cast of the first twenty or so seasons for Sesame Street and would love any video based on any of them. Or anything based on any of my ships or on friendships or on the street as a family. I particularly love the characters being Big Bird’s many honorary parents. Linda is my number one favorite character. Favorite characters not mentioned in my ships include Mr. Hooper, Buffy, and Gina. I’m fine with clips all the way up to season 30, but that was too much for an exchange. I’d also love a tribute to the classic episodes.

State Fair (1945) [SAFETY]

Fandom content notes: Two words that were common at the time but are uncomfortable to the modern ear.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: State Fair

Ships: Eleanor/Wayne, Emily/Wayne, Margey/Pat, Melissa/Able, Esmeralda/Blue Boy

I grew up with this movie and it is very much a comfort movie for me. I’d love something based on any or all of the pairings. I ship Wayne equally with both Eleanor and Emily. I don’t ship Margey with Harry at all. I’d also love a video about the Frake family as a whole or a video about any character other than Harry. I especially love McGee the song plugger. Or just a video about the fair and everything that happens at it

To The Manor Born (TV) (21 x 30 minute episodes + 1 x 60 minute reunion special.)

Fandom content notes: None.

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: To The Manor Born

Ships: Audrey/Richard.

I’d love a nice video about the enemies to lovers/will-they-or-won’t-they relationship between Audrey and Richard. I’d also love something about the Audrey and Margery friendship, the Audrey and Brabinger friendship, or Audrey learning how to live not in the manor. I adore every single character.

-

Wishbone (TV) (50 x 30 minute episodes)

Fandom content notes: A number of the famous works of literature that Wishbone retells include character death. At least one literary story involves a deal with the devil. At least one episode contains scenes set in a cemetery at night. Several characters have lost parents and a one-off character is stated to be dealing with food insecurity. In one episode the kids get locked in a burning building and escape.

Fandom specific DNW: Anything related to death. “Dog Days of the West” (I’ve never seen it.)

Tumblr Tag for Fandom: Wishbone (Pretty sparse but there it is.)

Ships: My only real ships are Ellen/Walter and Wanda/Bob. I find the idea of a Walter/Ellen/Wanda/Bob polycule interesting, possibly including David’s parents.

For this fandom I’m mostly interested in a video focused on the “real-life” parts of the episodes. The storylines involving Joe and his friends. A little bit of Wishbone inserting himself into famous works of literature wouldn’t go amiss, but it’s not my preference for a video focus. Though if you have the most perfect song for a video about Wishbone imagining himself in stories, I would love to see it. I’d most like a video focused on the characters’ friendship. Or one about family.
