Hey! Yay, I’m so glad! I’ve been having a think – I KNOW I’ve watched loads of recruiter vids, and have been trying to remember what they are to rec them to you. This is a great show idea – and you could always save your other idea for next year
All questions welcome, this is all useful – shows me we need to make our FAQs clearer.
Do I have to put in all the information of the vids I'd like to be in the show before March 1st? Or can I still alter the list after that?
Nope! In fact, I would strongly recommend you don’t bother to put in ANY show info before March 1st. The March 1st date is just when we need all show ideas to be submitted. Not the actual vids involved – just the show title/theme. Then cosmic_llin and I will spend a few days figuring out the schedule and ‘approving’ the shows we want to include. When we’ve approved your show, you will get an email to say it has been approved and is definitely going to be part of the Con programming, and THEN you should start filling in the vid info. I really recommend you don’t do it before then, because you need to put the vids in the order you want them to appear in your show, and you aren’t going to know that until you have decided on all the vids!
Once your show has been approved, you will have until 26th April to fill in all the info about the vids, and until 29th May to actually upload the vids themselves.
And I'm not sure about the field 'editor's email'. What should I put there if I can't find someone's email address?
Good question! So this depends on how much of a control-freak you are. (I am a BIG control-freak). Putting in the vid editor’s email address means that the vidder will get an email saying something like ‘Hi [vidder]! Lilly-the-kid would like to include your vid [title] in her vidshow. If you are happy for it to be included, please upload your vid here [link to upload page on website].' I am a control-freak, so I prefer to contact each vidder myself (via dreamwidth or the Ao3) to ask them to send the highest res version of their vid to me. And I put my own email address in all the ‘editor email’ boxes. That means *I* receive all the emails with the upload links, and I can upload them myself – it means more work for me, but means I KNOW that it’s been done. But YMMV, and if you are less obsessive than I am, and you have the email addresses for some of the vidders, you can put those in if you prefer.

Does that help?
