purplefringeSo I, er, seem to have signed up for the VidUKon Vid Auction?!
For those who don't know,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
vidukon_cardiff is a wonderful vidding con that takes place in Cardiff every summer - this year will be its fifth year! I attended for the first time back in 2011, before I even knew how to vid, and was very lucky to meet an extremely awesome bunch of vidders and vid fans who are now my very good friends :-D (hi guys!) The con is now one of the highlights of my year.
It's a pretty small con - currently averaging around 30 attendees, I think? - but it's brilliantly run by an incredibly dedicated con com, and is a truly welcoming space. I really hope it continues to grow and thrive, because it's so much fun to just hang out in Cardiff for a weekend and watch endless vids with a bunch of people who share that enthusiasm. Everyone should check out their website, where you can watch all the vidshows from previous years, and sign up to attend this year! If you can't attend but still want to support the con, you can also sign up for a £16 supporting membership which gets you some exciting things.
Aaaand back to the point of this post - you can ALSO support the con by bidding in the vid auction!buffyann, jagwriter78, lithiumdoll and I have all signed up, and you should totally go and bid for one of us to make you the vid of your heart. 75% of any funds made after the target of £100 is reached will go to the charity RAINN.
I'm offering a fairly small selection of fandoms that either I'm currently very into or that I know well enough not to worry about vidding. BUT I'm very open to suggestions! Particularly in any fandom I've previously vidded, or any film. If you have an idea for a vid you may like me to make but it's not in a fandom I've offered, please feel free to drop me a message or a comment and we can talk about it :-)

Date: 2015-03-08 03:06 pm (UTC)ahhhhhhh I am SO BAD at taking compliments, my natural impulse is to go and hide in a corner and flail as I blush furiously. But thank you so much! I have spotted you liking my vids on vimeo :-)
(and feel free to lurk away. I am v shy and awkward and spent a LONG time as a lurker in fandom before I started vidding.)
