VVC Queer Vidshow: call for suggestions!

[such_heights]

So, the VVC organisers have had a moment of madness and given me a vidshow to run. I am going to need your help!

The vidshow is We're Here, We're Queer, and it's pretty much what it says on the tin: vids that are focused on canonically LGBT/queer/trans* characters. Opened up to gen, het, slash, poly, angst, drama, comedy, in fandoms big and small, hopefully there will be a bit of everything!

Friends, lend me your recs in any and all fandoms - Saving Face, Transamerica, Skins, Queer as Folk, Torchwood, The L Word, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy, Ugly Betty, RPF fandoms, anywhere there are queer people! Extra bonus points for people who can point me towards vids focused on queer non-white characters and on genderqueer/trans* characters.

Please feel encouraged to nominate your own vids, and also, should you happen to feel inspired by the theme and think you could make a vid by June 1st, having a premiere or two would be pretty awesome. Official-ish forms will be up on the VVC website shortly, but in the meantime, rec me things! :D

Also, I would seriously love to hear any and all advice on VJing and vidshows at cons from both VJers and audiences, given that I have never attended one much less organised one before!

I am so glad you're doing this vidshow! I wanted to do it last year so it makes me happy to it being done :)

I so used to have a list but sadly it is lost in some notebook somewhere so this is off the top of my head. For Ugly Betty, obsessive24 has a perfect vid for this for Marc, Steady As She Goes. Possibly there's a vid out there on youtube or a comm for Alexis if you're looking for vids featuring trans characters. kiki_miserychic has a House vid about Remy called Skinny Love that's great. For Queer as Folk, possibly f1renze's Given To Fly or sisabet's Epic could work for Justin or bea_anonymous has a good ensemble piece, We All Want to be Loved (or something like it) or possibly f1renze's Affirmation. For Adam Lambert, there's astolat's Beautiful Dirty Rich although there's a bunch of great ones on youtube I'm sure. Oh and f1renze has a great Angels in America vid, Prayer for the Dying. butterfly has two vids that would be great, Oh My God and The Tower that are both from movies. laurashapiro made Queen Bitch which would also work perfectly.

And I'm totally forgetting a bunch but that'll take me some more looking around. And man, looking around at fandoms that feature queer characters, there are so many that need vids.

I know, tell me about it! Maybe this will be a bit of an encouragement for people. *g*
