Older Fanvids 1996-2009 (Vivicon CD Spindles)

In 2010, I attended Vividcon a fan run vidding convention. It offered a 'swap table' where people could leave DVDs, CDs, books for free (a small donation to the convention to help pay for the free snacks was encouraged). That year someone left multiple data CDs with fanvids 

No one was interested so I gathered them up & brought them home. They were older fanvids - a few from 1996, most between 2002-2009. They were small in size & low resolution & some were from vidders who had already remastered them into larger and better online viewing 

In the early-mid 2000s online streaming was not feasible for many, so fanvids needed to be small in size and downloaded to computers to be watched. Fandoms included: Angel, Buffy, Dark Angel, Due South, Farscape, Firefly, Harry Potter, Highlander, Invisible Man, Lord of the Rings....

Queer As Folk (US), Sentinel, Slings and Arrows, Smallville, Star Trek Enterprise, Star Trek TOS, Star Trek Voyager, Star Wars, Stargate SG1, Witchblade, Xena 

I finally have a searchable index online so if you are one of the vidders, feel free to drop me a note for a copy of your older vids. Note that I am one person so if I get too many requests (unlikely but thought I'd mention it anyway) it may take awhile. https://zinedom.org/cd_spindle_fanvids/

The complete list of vidders is here. I The names are listed as they were stored on the data CDs, but I abbreviated last names on this page https://zinedom.org/vidders-vividcon-cd-spindles/

Come watch Star Trek: TOS with us!

Galactic Journey has reached a momentous point in its travel through the past: This is the year Star Trek began. (Or rather, 55 years ago is when Star Trek began, because the Journey is 55 years ago today.) We're all very excited about the new show!

Last week, we watched both pilots & then the first episode via Discord stream, on Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. The plan is to watch it together every Wednesday at 8:30 pm, Eastern and Pacific (two showings), and we'd love more people to join us at Discord. (If we get lots and lots of people, we'll split to more streams.)

It's amazing to see the show in the context of the era.

I've been doing this and it has been a blast!
