Poll: Vid Watching

[thefourthvine]

This is the counterpart to the poll I posted earlier. (It, uh, had to undergo some revisions after the results of that poll.) And this one is for anyone who has ever seen a vid.

Again, feel totally free to pimp. I'd love to get a range of responses on this one.

After this, there'll be a round of vid meta coming out, but then I swear we'll go back to fan fiction. I'm really starting to miss recommending the written word.

Every answer I've given should be put through a filter of, "If it's recced by someone I trust, I'll probably download it at some point, even if there's a pw, or it's huge." Maybe even if I have to mail off for a CD (once I have some spare cash).

I'm much, much, much less likely to just randomly click on a vid than I am on fic, because of the bandwidth issue.

This has been totally fascinating. I can't wait to read your meta.

It's really worth trying that if you ever get the chance (I recommend Scooby Road as the vid to get on DVD, if she ever puts out another printing of it, because it's just right to watch that puppy like that, but there are other sets I've got that were well worth the extra effort and cost). For me, it's a very different experience, watching vids on CD/DVD and watching them downloaded on my computer. (I keep hoping someone else will post about this and prove I'm not the only one.)

Someday, I will find a way to get a copy of the Vividcon DVDs. And I will be a happy, happy vid-watcher, oh yes I will.

This has been totally fascinating. I can't wait to read your meta.

I'm glad you're finding it interesting; I am, too (obviously), but I have a sort of feeling that 98% of the people who read this LJ are rolling their eyes all, "Oh my GOD shut UP about VIDS already." But they are doomed to disappointment in the short run, because the vid meta is now in two pieces and developing tentacles. It's Mommy's Mutant Meta and it's growing rapidly.

*decides just to pretend that was a good metaphor and hopes you will do likewise*

But the other 2% are bouncing and letting out gleeful little squees of excitement. Vid meta is less common than would be nice.
