Fan Vid/Vidding Stats

[morgandawn]

I've been combining my vid show playlists (thank you to every convention that has ever offered their playlists to their convention attendees in any format ...and an even huger thank you to those using Google  Sheets or Excel or some format that can be converted).

The Two Big Vidding Conventions

Vividcon (2002-2018), a fan run vidding convention showed approximately 4,737 vids.

VidUKon (2008-present), a similar vidding convention based in the UK has shown approximately 2,248 fanvids

You can find Vividcon's fanvid database here

VidUKon has combined its database with other conventions that run on the Conline.Club platform. You cannot search by convention year, but the dataset allows you to search by Fandom, Vidder and Title

Who Cares?

YOU DO and that is a Superpower. I'm pretty sure you are not doing this for money or fame or the comments you'll receive on this post. The value of work like this will probably be recognized more in hindsight but that recognition and appreciation can't happen if that work isn't done today by people like you. You are your own energizer bunny of motivation for this kind of work regardless of validation and that is a Superpower. There is an integrity to completing the jigsaw puzzle of fandom cultural historical accuracy of the past and you are the holder of that integrity.

Sorry, for the provocative title. It's more for those who may consider leaving a comment and more of a rhetorical question for anyone out there. As for me there is no question. :-)
