Special Issue - Buffyverse Top 5 Original poster: par_avion Vidding Fandom NewsletterHi folks. Sorry to disappear, I've been sick. We have a new layout thanks to lim. Thanks Lim! She also took pity on me and explained how metafandom and the sga_newsletter put their issues together. (Hint: it doesn't take five hours a day!) As much as I like the format that we started with it is not maintainable. Even if we were fully staffed, 5-8 hours per day is still kinda crazy. So I'm thinking of switching to a different format (where each issue includes meta & tech posts but only reports on one or two fandoms at a time) and a different compilation method, either posting to community memories or a shared del.ici.ous account. If you are interested in helping out (for example, by posting vid stuff for your fandom of choice to the community memories) you can drop a comment or email me and I'll elaborate. On with the show! Recently I went through the recent posts at buffyversetop5 and pulled out the vid recs. Most, but not all, are for BtVS. Top 5 BtVS vids of 2006, not by spikeylover as chosen by spikendru. [Includes vids by Whoisnorml?, Holly Gilmore, Azkabella, Luminosity, and SDWolfpup.] Top 5 vids of 2006 by spikeylover as chosen by spikendru. Non-buffyverse Top 5 Vids of 2006 as chosen by spikendru. [Includes vids by renenet, dualbunny, marycrawford, sockkpuppett, and sdwolfpup.] Five Spuffy-centric vids by spikeylover as chosen by moscow_watcher. Top 5 Funny videos posted to YouTube as chosen by xlivvielockex. Top 5 fanvids by Dualbunny as chosen by shapinglight. Top 5 Videos chosen by petzipellepingo. [Includes vids by giandujakiss, _artanis, spikeylover, crazydiamondsue and elcazavampiros, bradcpu.] Top 5 Favorite Slash vids as chosen by spikendru. [Includes vids by spikeylover, crazydiamondsue, gwyn_r, charmax and mpoetess.] Top 5 2006 vids as chosen by aycheb. [Includes vids by shati, butterfly, gwyn_r, ficbyzee and dualbunny.] Top 5 2006 vids as chosen by yourlibrarian. [Includes vids by aycheb, geistverfasser, crazydiamondsue, ryty and gwyn_r.] Top 5 Spike/Xander vids as chosen by lusciousxander. After I read through all of the recent posts with much copying and pasting, I discovered that they were all tagged! Doh. This link takes you back to 2005. http://community.livejournal.com/buffyversetop5/tag/vidA longer issue (using the new method) coming soon!
