Vidding and Tumblr

[ash48]

The 5th Annual Driver Picks the Music Viewers Choice Awards is up. I have a few vids in there:

Mr Sandman (Best Character and Most Humorous)
Supernatural's Flying Circus (Most Humorous and Most Original)
Word Spins Madly On (Best POV)


(links to DPTM Voting)

But wow... there's so many awesome vids and vidders there. Go vote for your favourites!

Tumblr recs?

With a little extra holiday time on my hands I've been exploring Tumblr a little more. (Is it just me or is LJ fairly quiet these days?) I'm trying to get used to it (drooling over all the pruty). It always takes me a while to understand new sites. If you have a Tumblr and I'm not already following you please let me know. (REALLY!) I have no idea where to start when looking for blogs to follow. I'm keen on not being spoiled (which might prove a problem I think) so blogs that aren't too spoilery would be great. I'll take recommendations as well. :)

Thanks guys. Hope you all had a great Easter break. <33

It's cool. I hardly know what's going on over there anyway.

I scroll through my followers and I have no idea who's who or who's made what or.... anything really...

It was take time and trial and error.

thanks.

Also.. I just saw your post re AO3. I'm so behind... there's a place to archive for vids now?

I don't know if this helps but I normally read Tumblr by adding the RSS feeds in to Google Reader, and not through the Tumblr dashboard. That way I can see who has posted, how much they have posted and be sure I haven't missed anyone.

You can archive vids on AO3 in the sense that it allows embeds and there are vid related tags. They are not really catering to vids at present although I do believe that is one of their future plans. I just had all my fanfiction up there all ready and then decided to put my vids up as well just to have another place to put them. But I am pretty sure you wouldn't get the same traffic on AO3 as you would on LJ.

At the moment all that about Tumblr is over my head (/o\) but I'm sure I'll work it out at some point. At the moment I don't really know who I'd add to a RSS feed. I'm not even sure Tumblr is a forum I can get into...but I want to try it.

Re AO3... it wouldn't be so much about traffic but rather just archiving. I was part of an auction a while back raising funds to have vid archiving on AO3. I was curious if they had got that up and running.

Thanks for the info hun.
