Things I like to vid:
I mostly like making teamy vids, recruitment vids, friendship vids, or character vids. I tend to gravitate towards upbeat themes and music.
Other preferences (genres/pairings/music/etc):
I'm open to musical genre and suggestions, but find I'm not too keen on vidding metal or rap (love vids with those genres, but the number of times I replay songs when vidding is mildly embarrassing).
I would love you to provide 2-3 song suggestions or if you only have a particular character + theme in mind I can go with that, too.
Things I can't vid: Rape, graphic violence to women (general action sequences are fine).
Where you can find samples of my vids: my vids on DW or on AO3 @
Other things bidders might want to consider: I'm not very good at the technical side of co-vidding, if that's something you were looking for.
