Request for femslash vid recs and premieres!

This VidUKon I am excited to be VJing a femslash vidshow, What Your Hands Were Made For, celebrating vids that highlight lesbians and, in particular, their hands. I'm open to hand stuff of all sorts - sexy, violent, yearning, playful, comforting - as long as the hand stuff is a substantial part of the vid and it's gay as hell.

Some fandoms I'm already locked in on and don't need any recs for at this point include Buffy, Xena, and She-Ra. Some femslashy fandoms I would be really excited for recs or premieres for include Utena, Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, Arcane, Person of Interest, Black Sails, Glee, A League of Their Own, The 100, Supergirl, any Star Trek, Carmilla, Bound, But I'm a Cheerleader, or any number of other fandoms! For some of those fandoms I do already have a vid in mind, but for whatever reason (maybe it's not suuuper handsy, or maybe I've used it in a previous vidshow) I'm not totally wedded to the choice yet, so I'd be psyched to hear more ideas!

Let me know if you have any recs or would be interested in making a premiere!

Vid submissions are open for FanWorks 2023!

Submission Guidelines

Vids are submitted through the FanWorks dashboard (visible when logged in). You can upload a vid or manage previously submitted vids.

Vidders can submit up to two vids per show, and can show up to three vids if a third is submitted by a co-vidder. Vids must be your own work.

Full submission guidelines for premiering & non-premiering shows are available on our website.

FanWorks has standardized content notes for all works. We encourage anyone submitting vids to check out the usage guidelines for FanWorks content notes.

Deadlines

All deadlines are set for 11:59PM Eastern.

Non-Premiering Shows

The Year in Vids: October 29th

Mystery Box: October 29th

It Surrounds You (all vids, premiering or otherwise): November 26th

Vidshows

Premieres

A showcase of vids making their debut at FanWorks 2023.

The Premieres show is the highlight of the video track at FanWorks! Vids sent to this show must not have been released anywhere previously - at other cons, as online posts, or to any audience larger than your betas / cheerleaders. Premieres is all-new, with every vid making its debut to the con audience.

Variations: "It Surrounds You"

Variations is a showcase of premiering and non-premiering vids made for a specific theme. The theme for 2023 is It Surrounds You.

A house, a hotel, a car, a spaceship, a kitchen, an office, a battlefield, a forest, an ocean, a city, a galaxy – vids about places, settings, environments. You can focus on the setting itself, how people relate to it, how it brings together or divides a community, any aspect you want.

The Year in Vids

Vids released between August 1, 2022 and the submissions deadline. There are no thematic restrictions on this show; anything that was posted online, played at a con, etc. during that time counts.

Mystery Box

The VJ(s) will create a themed vidshow using only vidder submissions. The vidshow theme itself depends entirely on what's submitted and could be anything, so vids on any theme are welcome!

Please keep in mind that not all vids uploaded for Mystery Box will show, as the goal is to create a relatively coherent show around a single theme. (Will such a thing be possible? We'll see!) For more info, check the submission guidelines below.
