Thanks very much for posting this!

I really need to sit down and type up the rest of my Escapade reports, and to send feedback directly to a whole bunch of vidders. I have also been told that I need to post at least a link to my thoughts on this to the vidder list, because a lot of the positive feedback isn't reaching many people. I haven't really collected my thoughts yet... but I do know some things:

I would adore to see a HH vid with Pellew-focus.

I adore the vidshow. I loved it this year, I loved it last year, I loved it the year before that (which was my first Escapade), and I loved all of the DVDs and tapes which I greedily purchased in the dealer room going back a decade or so.

I adore Escapade... and am already looking forward to next year.

I also adore VividCon... I went last year and will attend this year.

I have written het and gen and slash, and have only found acceptance of all three among slashfen. That acceptance is more valuable than gold to me.

Yeah, I can and do wish for vids using music I know by heart and which include my pet fetishes, characters and fandoms, although some wonderful vidders have already made some that fit that description! And I'm saving up for a DVD drive and software so that I can make more such vids myself at some point.

I really wish that I could sit down with whoever was unhappy with the vidshow and talk to them, calmly and face-to-face, to try to understand what motivated them to be so hurtful and to try to get them to understand the harm they are doing to one of my very most favorite places on Earth, and to some of my favorite artists.

I wish I could make this better somehow. *offers chocolate*
