Comment Meta

[amaresu]

Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.

How it works

1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.

2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.

3. Comment on other meta topics.


It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.

This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Re: femslash production

[mfirefly10]

For starters, vidding fandom is small in general. When you cut it down to femslash vidders...there's not a lot of us, tbh and almost all the femslash vidders I know also vid het and gen so even if they vid a lot, they don't necessarily vid femslash a lot.



Personally, I'm not a consistent vidder and I don't vid that much. Or at least, I don't publish a lot because I tend to get frustrated with my vids very easily and only publish about 1/4 of the vids I start (half of which I never even finish.)

I've posted 12 vids to YT in the past year. 2 of them were exclusively femslash (multifandom) and 2 of them contained femslash ships (one was a multifandom ships vid, the other a Spartacus ships vid.) 10 of the vids were ship-centric, with 4 of them featuring at least one femslash ship. The year before that it seems like I had an 4/8 ratio, with 3 of the vids being exclusively femslash. So while I do vid femslash pairings, the number of femslash vids I publish each year is pretty minimal.



I don't know how my personal vidding pattern applies to femslash vidding in general, but I'd say the numbers game is at least part of why there isn't as much femslash in the vidding community. Obviously lack of source material, lack of feedback/interest and tricky editing to create non-canon ships also play a factor.

The last organized femslash thing I can remember for vidders was a femslash challenge NikkiMonique ran on YT. I can't find a link to that challenge on her page but I think there were about...8 vidders who participated? No more than 10, at any rate. I'm not sure if she advertised much outside of YT, though.
