Some people are very, very skeptical of fanfiction video. First, is it fanfiction? Or is it a fan video? Second is which takes more creativity? More Skill?

Writers will come down on one side of the argument, and video creators on the other. Obviously, we’re a site very attached to the written word. With our new Fanfiction Archiving software, we are now able to allow writers – and vidders – to both post to our archives.

When The L Word was still airing, the concept of fanfiction video hadn’t quite emerged yet. Fan video, of course, was huge. The difference? Fan videos seem to tell a story or represent a theme (usually love!) that have been portrayed/aired on the screen.  In fanfiction video a story that hasn’t been aired on screen is crafted by careful editing scenes to create a narrative.  Here is a terrific #Rizzles fanfiction video of “How Season 2 Should Have Gone” by sallyl79.
