Announcing the Beginning of This Year's Festivids

[giandujakiss]

I'm just posting to announce that the fandom nomination period for this year's Festivids has begun!

festivids is a yearly small-fandom giftvid exchange. It's modeled on Yuletide; every vidder signs up with fandoms they request, and fandoms they can offer. The fandoms are all "small" fandoms, which are defined to mean fandoms where there are: (a) 100 or fewer online vids for the fandom, or (b) 10 or fewer new vids posted online in the past four years, or (c) vids by 5 or fewer vidders available online.

Each vidder receives a secret assignment and makes a giftvid for their recipient. The vids are posted anonymously in January, and after two weeks, the identities of the vidders are revealed. Last year's vids are listed here.

Right now, we've just begun the nomination period, to come up with a list of small fandoms that will be included in this year's Festivids. Nominations end on September 21, and signups to participate run from October 4 through October 14. You can find out more about the nomination process at this post. You can also find out more about Festivids in general by reading the details in the profile at festivids. We hope you can play with us!
