→ fandomcalendar | [Multifandom] Recursive Exchange nominations open!
Recursive Exchange is a fanwork exchange for requesting fanfiction and fanart of other fanworks! Recursive fanfiction is frequently called "fic of fic" and (in a fannish context) recursion essentially means treating a fanwork as a canon source material. Nominated works can be fic, art, vids, gifsets, etc! Fannish original works welcome.

It will be updated a few times a year as long as the Livejournal--Dreamwidth importer continues to work. Anyone can join but no new posts will be allowed as it is in archival status

→ Vidding: A History by Francesca Coppa
Vidding is a well-established remix practice where fans edit an existing film, music video, TV show, or other performance and set it to music of their choosing. Vidding: A History emphasizes vidding as a critical, feminist form of fan practice. Working outward from interviews, VHS liner notes, convention programs, and mailing list archives, Coppa offers a rich history of vidding communities as they evolved from the 1970s through to the present.

Welcome to the 2022 Vidding Calendar, a list of vidding related events throughout the year that you can take part in, submit vids to, etc.

Please leave a comment for any event that I have missed. It can be for any platform and any fandom.

Where dates are known, I have included them but otherwise I listed the event under the month it occurred last year. Additionally, for exchanges, which tend to have multiple dates, I have listed them under the month the first date of note occurs. All this to say, please check the specific communities to confirm the dates and whether they are going ahead this year, don't rely on this.

Plain links are for conventions that as far as I know allow vid submissions. Dreamwidth usernames are for exchanges that are vid focused or allow vids.

Also, since there aren't a lot of vidding specific exchanges anymore (at least the ones I know of), are there any vidding exchanges or challenges that people would like to see?
