Date: 2022-07-05 01:14 am (UTC)Best way to contact me: Tumblr DM (I have the same username there)
Fandoms and characters I am offering to vid:
Star Trek (any)
MCU (any movie or Agents of SHIELD)
DC Comics (Bat Family or Titans characters greatly preferred, but if you have an idea for a limited run of a different character, I would be willing to read the run and vid for it)
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Farscape
The Magicians
Superstore
Severance
Yellowjackets
The Wilds
Teen Wolf
Literary Inspired Web Series (Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Poe Party, or the works of the Candle Wasters preferred, but I will vid any series)
I am also willing to vid multifandom for American/British TV, movies, and/or web series.
Things I like to vid: Character studies; multifandom vids with a lot of sources; vids that are critical of the source material; big feelings; complicated relationships.
Other preferences (genres/pairings/music/etc): I'll use any song as long as it works for the vid, but I have a documented affinity for vidding to Metric, Kesha, and Taylor Swift. If you have a vid idea but no particular song in mind, I also love finding vid songs.
Things I can't vid: Nothing comes to mind.
Where you can find samples of my vids: YouTube or AO3
Other things bidders might want to consider:
- I'm generally very cool with vidding to long songs, but for comics vids I will have to either use a song under four minutes, or edit the song down to that length.
- For multifandom vids, I'm open to requests for topics that would use sources outside my listed fandoms, but not for topics that are specific to fandoms outside my list. So, for example, "a vid celebrating the queer women of American sitcoms" is great, and I'd even be happy to take suggestions of characters/shows to include. But "a vid comparing Eleanor Shellstrop and Rosa Diaz" is something I can't do. If you have an idea and you're not sure whether it fits these guidelines, feel free to message me before bidding!
