I truly loved this, btw. If my comment to Cesca above didn't make it obvious, there should be much more of this. I'm so immensely happy that you've said it and said it a million times better than I ever could. I know it's just a beginning but it's *so damn important*.

I actually clapped when you mentioned Tumblr, I kid you not. I cannot begin to articulate the sense of connection and understanding I get, as a vidder, looking at pages of short animated gifs. Sometimes fannish response is just that - I'm recalling sisabet's SPN vid with the double hug that she abandoned once she vidded that part because that's where she wanted to get to.

That vids bring those together into something more or different or surprising or comforting...

I really like vids. I should make more of them.
