festivids is an annual vid exchange for small fandoms. Think Yuletide, but for fanvids! I couldn't possibly get into the full description here, so take it away, community profile page.

trelkez had a great idea that maybe we should do some sort of rec festival ahead of time. In the month leading up to Festivids fandom nominations, we list some of the fandoms/sources we're thinking about requesting, so we can all watch them ahead of time and go, "Hell yeah I could make a vid out of that" or "OMG THIS IS THE BEST, someone should make me a vid!" and then offer/request said fandoms.
You can also leave a quick description (1-2 sentences) of why the source is awesome and I'll add that to the fandom's entry in Festival master list. If there's a longer description, I may pluck out a short teaser and then link to the rest of the comment.
Example:
Raumpatrouille / Space Patrol Orion -- This is an amazing black & white space adventure series from West Germany that aired around the same time as Star Trek. It has a semi-serialized storyline, crazy visuals, a lovable cast of characters (including Commander McLane, who is the King of Snark), and it's easy to get into because it only has seven episodes!
So comment away and I'll add your recs to the list behind the cut below.
