Today on Fanlore

[wickedwords]

I did many things, very little of which I can remember. I did create the vidding subcategory, though, and added it to everything I recognized as belonging to it from the video category. (If it wasn't in video, I may not have seen it, so I don't think I got everything.)

I also went through my old video tapes and found an ancient copy of MC Tape 2 that still had its liner notes with it, so I am adding that to the Media Cannibals Tape 2 subpage. It's a real gem in that we listed what equipment we were using and how much it cost, how we did our titles back then, and the liner notes themselves reference 'Escapade 7' and 'Virgule 3' (That was the slash con held in Seattle, back in the day. I'd forgotten there were 3 of them.)

I think the Led Zeppelin vids on it are the first RPS vids shown--it would have been around 1994/1995, at an Escapade, so that was cool. And Sandy noted when we first did the change POV in the middle of the song thing, which was cool as well. I feel like I'm transcribing some nifty little historical document, even though I doubt many people will be that interested. I think it's just neat to have found it.

I went to Virgule 3. *g* I had forgotten about it. I used to try and schedule business trip at the same time as cons.

That was 1996, right? So we must have had them 1994, 1995, and 1996. Man, it all blurrs together.

You know, I can't remember if it was 1996. I remember it was out by the airport, maybe. And I helped out Jo with the artshow.

Dude, I am seriously interested & can't wait to check out these pages later today.

I got the main tape done, just have to do the blast from the past section. I fear I should have made most of the entries individual 'fanworks' instead of putting them in a list, but my gut feeling is that I would be cluttering things up as most of these aren't that noteable, except to, you know, media cannibals fandom.

Is there any chance you could scan the liner notes and add the scan too? (I have this thing for pictures of historical documents and I would like to know what it looked like. ^^°)

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

yes I think scanning would be a great idea

I am pleased that fanlore is allowing new users to create categories. I had hesitated to apply the Vidding category because they had said "Please speak with the Wiki Committee if you'd like to create a new category." and also because I am still fumbling around trying to understand how to apply their category hierarchy correctly.

It's easy to create a subcategory, so if we need more, we can create them. It's the regular categories that are hard, as they have to be set up in a special space, and that's the extent of my technical knowledge about them.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't have that capability, but maybe I can find someone in the group who does.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

I'm interested! That's so cool.

[wickedwords.livejournal.com]

Yay, I have most of it done. I just have to do the 'Blast from the Past' section of even older Starsky and Hutch vids on that collection tape.
