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.

My sister and I are seriously considering webspace together
One of the advantages of this is that you'll be able to trackback referring URLs. This is one of the main ways vidders get "feedback."
I'd host it on YSI or Sendspace or similar, possibly with several different site options so people can choose the one they like to dl from.
Just please don't use only MegaUpload, I'm begging you. Or I'll never get to see your vids.
I am planning some vid reccing of my own, and would like to know what people think.
I'm going to post a wrap-up on this, or I'm planning to - although we all know how often my plans come to fruition - but the short form is: it's okay to link to the vid announcement. Ideally, this would the post on the vidder's LJ. Obviously, if the vidder asks for something else in the post, that trumps all. Never link outside the fannish sphere (MetaFilter, etc.), never upload to YouTube or similar, never hotlink, never steal clips, never claim someone else's work as your own, never show the work to anyone involved with the visual or audio source. (And I am quite sure that you, specifically, would never, ever do these things; it's just the standard text that I'm practicing with an eye toward my wrap-up post.)
So rec away. Yay!
