This site was created in March of 2012 as a way for vidders and vid lovers alike to be able to find good content in a quicker more manageable way. As well, as a way for vidders to, not only get recognized for their work, but also provide tips and suggestions to vidders just starting out. Here we hope that you will find everything you need to find a good video or vidder or possibly start with your own vidding.

FAQ
1. How were fandom videos selected?
Each reviewer picked certain fandoms to review. They were then responsible for selecting what vids they would choose and review for those particular fandoms. I know in my case it was really tough selecting videos, especially for fandoms like TVD. I think I had about twenty vids selected before I had to stop myself and start narrowing it down.
2. Why are some vids embedded and others not?
While writing the reviews each contributing staff member was required to write the vidder for each video they reviewed and ask if it was okay to embed. Most vidders were okay with this and the ones we did not hear back from their videos did not get embedded.
3. Why aren’t there more fandoms in the fandoms section?
Yes, I know! No Castle! lol. Yeah, I can think of a few fandoms that I would like to see there as well. However this was done as a staff overload thing. Originally there was a massive amount of fandoms, way to many for us to cover, then it was shrunk down to about nothing. After that, fandoms just got added back in as people volunteered to cover them.
The short of it is, fandom reviewing was a lot of work. I know I reviewed well over 60 videos and, wow was it exhausting.
4. Can I request a review?
Uh...not at this time lol. Maybe that’s something we can expand to at a later date, but no. You can however, suggest videos that you would like to see be featured and reviewed. Someone will at least look at them then and it might, I stress might, get chosen.
5. Can I request a certain reviewer?
Who reviews a vid depends entirely on whether or not they’ve selected to cover that fandom. So, no. Sorry, not at this time.
6. How were vidders selected to be reviewed in the guides?
For this issue, each staff member named a multitude of vidders (I know I named a lot lol) that they thought deserved to be reviewed and featured. The staff, as a whole, then voted on them for both guides to see who would actually be mentioned. Sometimes it was fairly close and we had to vote again.
For future issues, I would like to have more reader input. At least as far as the suggesting goes. Polling maybe become an option as well. We’ll see how it goes.
7. How were videos selected that were featured in the vidders guides?
The videos were selected at the reviewers discretion.
8. How was the vid of the issue chosen?
For this issue, the vid was selected from the majority of the vids that had been currently reviewed, or selected to be reviewed, at the time of voting. The staff then voted on the chosen video. For future editions, this decision will be left up to the readers.
9. Can I contribute?
That would be amazing. It is time consuming, but the more people that help, the less there is for everybody to do as a whole. So feel free to contact us.
