Achievement unlocked: Fan Video Diversity Showcase!

[ahorbinski]

One of the things my committee, Internationalization & Outreach, has been working on for a while went live today: the Fan Video Diversity Showcase on the Archive of Our Own! 

Our original idea was to come up with a sampling of global fan video traditions to publicize the fact that the AO3 now accepts video embeds from external sites, and our in-house vid expert Natacha Guyot has put in a ton of work on this project in particular. You can read her post about the Showcase here.

Congratulations, N, it looks great!

Huh. I took a look (couldn't watch the videos but looked at the metadata) and I have to say I don't get it. I suspect I would like to read some kind of introductory material at the top of the page saying what the selection criteria are and what the showcase is trying to show, and hopefully that would make me understand what's going on here. But as it stands, I can't quite understand the selections. Why two "House M.D." vids and none (that I can tell) using documentary/news/real person footage? Why two Farscape vids? Why two by each of several different vidders? *confused*
