Because memes are probably the only way to get me to post these days. Stolen from giandujakiss and is in no way an attempt to procrastinate working on my festivids

Day 1: How did you first get into vidding, and what was the first fandom you vidded? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?

FARSCAPE! I don't think it was the fandom specifically that got me interested in vidding but rather Farscape cause me to discover fandom. It was around the same time when I realised I could use the internet to discover all manner of horrifying amazing things, one of which was as many fanfics as I could find and print off to read later in my room (I wasted a lot of paper. Also, the first slash fic I read was a John/D'Argo one. Should totally go find that again...). But because the way the show was scheduled in Australia was sporadic at best, finding out fanvids existed also meant I could see what happened in the show while waiting frustratingly long periods of time for a new episode to randomly appear. I may have spoiled myself in huge, confusing ways but it was totally worth it.

But fanvids intrigued me not only because it was more of the thing I loved but because they remixed the source in new and exciting ways. It was like watching the same show in different ways again and again and again. I can't really explain it but the combination of the visual and audio to say different things just immediately resonated with me and I knew this is something I wanted to do.

Of course, it was easier said than done but I loved the show so damn much that I persevered, made a fanvid and then proceeded to show no one ever. Actually I showed my parents but I never managed to get it online at the time because YouTube didn't exist and everything else was too hard.
