PSA

In the wake of BAM's demise, collswan has created ao3vidders (mirrored at ao3vidders). It's a vidding auction designed to raise money for the Organization of Transformative Works's Archive of Our Own (AO3). AO3 is a fannish archive that currently houses fanfic, but may one day house other fanworks like art, and, we hope, vids. If that happens, vidders will no longer be left out in the cold when yet another streaming site abruptly shuts down or blocks content.

As I understand it, donations will go to the OTW generally and will not necessarily be directed specifically to the AO3, or to the development of vidding architecture for AO3, but the idea is that donations will ultimately help OTW attempt to achieve that goal.

Unfortunately, I can't offer a vid this time around; I've got one auction vid in progress (in the beta phase, woo-hoo!) and another following right on its heels, so I'm a bit full up on auction commitments. But if other people participate, that would be awesome. Vidder sign-ups are May 1 through May 15, and bidding is May 16 through May 30.
