Summary
It’s probably a professional tendency but I like to categorize, contextualize and devise labels for things. And lately as I’ve been working on video recs I find that I’m curious about how evaluating vids and fic overlap, and what it is that makes something stand out for me.

Fan Videos as Canon Commentary by yourlibrarian

Summary
Because I am in the midst of the March Meta Matters Challenge, I've been reviewing my Dreamwidth account since its early days. I was surprised to realize that fan video recs made up a lot of my first two years of posts. And as I read over them, I realized how important they were to my fannish experience at the time and what they revealed to me about canon.
Includes content originally posted in 2004-2006.

I was interested in puzzling out ways in which there might be a common language for vids and fics, and which of their elements could be compared. It seemed to me that both have some common things that will make people pay attention or turn them away.
