This was so great. My heart just melted in fannish glee.

[giandujakiss]

Oh, thank you so much!!

[shallowness]

I love love LOVE this. It's clever and it's loving and reminded me of so many clever and loving fannish moments I've seen (of course Hiro had to be there) and introduced me to other moments.

[giandujakiss]

Yes, of course Hiro was there (and I love that the same actor plays another Star Trek fan in H50!) I'm so glad you liked it; thank you!

[sophinisba]

Yay this makes me so happy in my heart.

[giandujakiss]

Hee, I'm so glad!

[sundancekid]

Oh, this is great. I don't often feel that vids about fandom work for me, but this is a really lovely exploration of how happy it makes us, and how much it brings us together.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you! I'm really glad it worked for you!

[inkjunket]

This is so magical and awesome. I had goosebumps all the way through the flip where fans become creators/a part of the story... Amazing.

[giandujakiss]

Oh, wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed that part - I had so much fun putting together the clips for it!

[ad-astra-03.livejournal.com]

That was so fun. It filled me with fannish delight!

[giandujakiss]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you!

[fennishjournal]

Oh brilliant! It really makes me aware of how much being geeky has become depicted in the sources we geek out about which is delightfully meta. Age of the geek indeed!

[giandujakiss]

Yes, every time a "Becky" character appears in something like Supernatural, all I can think is - they can see us! Glad you liked the vid!

[the_oscar_cat]

I really loved this! well done!

[giandujakiss]

Oh, thank you so much!

[yourlibrarian]

Whooo, fandom! Some wonderful moments in there :)

[giandujakiss]

Thank you! I had fun looking for them - I'm glad you enjoyed!

[chaila]

The way you found so many clips of people being geeky and fannish within shows was really clever! Such a different kind of meta. :)

[giandujakiss]

Hee, thanks! I was considering posting notes about that, actually - I was only able to find a lot of the clips because fans are awesome and they do things like create detailed episode guides, and compile massive lists of every television show that has ever referenced their favorite fannish objects :-). So I relied a lot on fannish indexing - I couldn't have done it without fandom!

[lannamichaels]

This is fantastic. :D

[giandujakiss]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

[fahye]

Awww, I definitely need this one on my hard drive to watch when I've had a bad day. So joyous!

[giandujakiss]

I'm glad you thought so! I hope it can cheer you up when you need it!

[mecurtin]

This vid makes me full of sparkles and glee.

[giandujakiss]

Then mission accomplished! Thank you :-).

[not_a_tardis]

Was quite literally clutching alternatively my face and my chest while watching this. SO MUCH LOVE. ALL THE LOVE.

[giandujakiss]

Oh wow, thank you! I'm so glad the vid affected you - yay!

[livrelibre]

Yay! I enjoyed the hell out of this!

[giandujakiss]

Hee, I'm so glad! Thank you!

[brainwane]

So great! Thank you for making and sharing this. I linked to it in a comment about fanwork as portrayed in speculative fiction.

[giandujakiss]

Oh, thank you so much! That was nice of you - I'm really glad you enjoyed it :-).

[harpijka]

So... I'm working my way through the vids I didn't have time to watch and
I kid you not, watching this wonderful vid I had tears in my eyes at one moment (and a huge grin all the time!). Ohh, nostalgy.
Thank you, this is brilliant.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you so much!! I'm so happy it had an emotional impact! That's exactly what I hoped for :-).

Hi! I am writing at extraordinarily short notice to let you now that I am planning to screen this vid at the WisCon vid party... tonight! Because it is amazing and I think the audience will love it. Um. Please let me know ASAP if this is not okay?

[giandujakiss]

Of course it's fine - thank you for thinking of it! And have a great time at the con!

[wisdomeagle]

Amazing. <3

[giandujakiss]

Aww, thank you!

OH MY GOD, this vid is completely amazing! The diversity of sources and how you fit them all together so well is amazing (you even have a bit from The Daly Superheroes!). I am completely in awe, this is phenomenal!

[giandujakiss]

Awww, thanks so much! I'm glad you felt everything worked together - it was so much fun finding things to include!
