Poll: Vid Permissions
Recently, I have been doing some codeine-enhanced pondering of vids - specifically, linking to them or recommending them, and how we do that, and how we get permission to do that. (This was inspired by a discussion with someone, but I won't be mentioning her name unless she indicates that she wants me to.) Because in media fandom, my understanding is that fannish etiquette requires you to ask permission before you link to or recommend a vid. But I could be wrong. I have yet to get my hands on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_manners161's Guide to Fannish Etiquette. That thing is so damned hard to find.
So, in the absence of a definitive ruling, I thought I'd ask vidders.
There aren't, however, a lot of vidders reading this LJ, I don't think. And I'd like to get responses from as wide a cross-section of the vid-making community as possible. So, if you are a vidder (or, as AMV people put it, editor) - or if you aren't, but a lot of vidders read your LJ, or if you have the password to the Secret Clubhouse where all the cool vidkids hang out - could you please link to or pimp this? Great would be my joy and appreciation.
Obviously, only those with LJ accounts can take this poll, but anyone can comment anonymously. (Or, heck, email me if you like - thefourthvine at livejournal dot com will find me.)
And, just to repeat: this poll is for those who have vidded only. There will be a poll for non-vidders, though, coming soon.

I am so checking out that site when I'm finished with these comments. I've been looking for a site like that for years.
So far, I haven't had anyone deny the listing and I can't imagine someone saying, "No, don't tell anyone how great I am," but if anyone wanted the rec removed, I'd do it.
That's been my experience with recommending vids and sending off individual permission emails - I only ever get two types of responses: "Yes, please do," and silence. (I tend to assume silence means the vidder didn't get the email. I suppose it could just be a very passive way of saying no, though.) And 95% of vidders go with "yes, please do."
