Rec + archiving!

[luzula]

First off, a rec. In vid_commentary, there are DVD commentary versions of vids, made by both the original vidders and by someone else. For example, here is heresluck's commentary for her F/K vid "Out Here", and here is a commentary for the same vid by sisabet. The first commentary is more analytical, and explains what the vidder was trying to do with the vid, and the second leans more toward fangirl squee, which made me smile, since I've never heard that in verbal form (as opposed to written). Anyway, both of these added a lot to my appreciation and understanding of the vid. I also really enjoyed the commentaries to the BSG vid "Babies" and the Firefly vid "Hard Sun".

Second, I've started archiving my stuff at the Archive of Our Own. It's going to take some time, but the organizational side of me enjoys it. After a while, I realized that I felt weird uploading stories without dates, so I went back and backdated everything to the original posting date. This is because I'm noticing some stuff on older stories that I would probably do differently now. I guess this means I've grown as a writer?

I have an invite to the archive, comment if you want it. Archive your stories, people!

For now, please comment at the LJ entry.

That's a great recommendation - thanks. I love the videos of heresluck and I will head over there asap. \o/

Good luck with the archive. ;)

Hope you enjoy it! I don't know much about vidding, so it was interesting to get an in-depth analysis of a vid like that.

And thanks! : )
