Give Back December *signal boost*

Spread Holiday cheer by leaving thoughtful comments on fanworks of your choice all throughout the month of December.

Let’s face it: fanfic, fanart, fanvids – they take love, dedication and time to make and the creators don’t get paid for it. Fanartists’ payment comes in kudos, likes and – most importantly – comments. Comments lets the artist know what really worked and that they didn’t spend their time, energy and love for nothing.

So how about a little challenge? Give back this December, like a reverse advent calendar. Don’t just leave kudos, likes or whatever other sites offer. Leave at least one thoughtful, in-depth comment on a fanwork of your choice every day throughout December. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you managed that? Just imagine the artist flailing at hearing some well-intended praise for their story, artwork or video – and I can assure you that it will happen. Whether you finally comment on that old favorite of yours, or leave a comment on the work just published minutes ago, you’ll make a fanartist extremely happy.

Really great fanvids

I recently discovered that someone I know made a number of SPN fanvids over the last few years. I watched them all this weekend and over the next few days I will be posting them. Many of you have probably seen them, but perhaps they will be new to a few people. The creator is uncertainsimile.

I'm not in love with the music, but the edits are AMAZING
