I made a post with some details about lots of authors against fanfic, with the intention of eventually tweaking details at the wiki. It's available for info-mining if anyone's currently working on the Pro Author Fanfic Policies page.

otw_news , some of you may have missed the announcement of the Vidding Roadmap. Reading about these exciting developments, some soon to come, some farther down the road, made me think about Fanlore and vidding, especially their plans for a vidding resource page.
Currently on Fanlore there are pages for:
Vid - a brief definition
Vidding - the history of vidding through the VCR era into today and a short paragraph on Aesthetics.
VCR Vidding - a brief definition
Digital Vidding (as of about five minutes ago) a brief definiton and a start on a broader scope for the page.
There are also some pages for vid tropes, AMVs, Vividcon and pages for individual vids, and vid hosting sites, but they pale next to the mountain of fic-focused pages.
What there isn't much of is centralized discussion of vidding technique, aesthetics and cultures. I had originally thought the vid page might be a place to start with that, but I'm more inclined to think that the digital vidding page or a separate page just for aesthetics might work better. I'm a consumer of vids, not someone who can really talk about vids or vidding on a technical or aesthetic level, so I'm not sure about structure, and structure can always be moved anyway.
What would be wonderful if more of the lore of vids made it onto Fanlore.
I'm pointing out these pages in the hopes that vidders and vid fans will go and add to those pages, make new ones and improve the vidding side of Fanlore.
