| Order | Vid Title | Vidder | Year Released | Fandom | Artist | Runtime | Why I chose it | link to vid |
|---|
| 1 | Superstar | here's luck | 2003 | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | Tegan & Sara | 03:27 | The culmination of my first intense burst of activity as a vidder, and the first vid I made that got significant attention outside the insular little world of Buffy vidding. | vid on AO3 |
| 2 | Cat Scan Hist'ry | here's luck | 2004 | Donnie Darko | The Blue Aeroplanes | 03:36 | Essential because of what it did for both my process and my sense of what I was capable of aesthetically. Pretty much anything interesting I've done as a vidder in the last fifteen years can be traced back to this vid. | vid on AO3 |
| 3 | New Frontier | here's luck | 2006 | Firefly / Serenity | Benefits of Being Paranoid | 03:32 | A vidder's vid--and the product of a particular combination of fierce love and sustained thought that's unlike anything else I've done. | vid on AO3 |
| 4 | Out Here | here's luck | 2006 | Due South | Peter Mulvey | 03:30 | And then there was this time when I watched Due South in secret and vidded it as a present for renenet and sisabet. They seemed to like it. | vid on AO3 |
| 5 | People Get Ready | here's luck | 2007 | Heroes | The Frames | 04:39 | Ensemble vid! And also one of my favorite examples of vidding the best version of a show--a version that the show itself only intermittently lived up to. | vid on AO3 |
| 6 | Sea Fever | here's luck | 2009 | Slings & Arrows | Kris Delmhorst | 03:25 | This vid is as close as I have ever come to vidding the inside of my heart; it's about a fictional Shakespeare company, but it's also about my own chosen work. | vid on AO3 |
| 7 | The Test | here's luck | 2010 | Star Trek | The Chemical Brothers feat. Richard Ashcroft | 03:58 | Most complicated and technically ambitious vid I've ever made, to the point that I watch it now and cannot imagine what possessed me to attempt such a thing. Also it got shown in a museum, which was cool. | vid on AO3 |
| 8 | Jefferson Funk | here's luck | 2016 | Hamilton | Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars | 01:10 | I vidded a brilliant Broadway musical to a very silly pop song, as one does, and people liked it. The world is a puzzling place. | vid on AO3 |
| 9 | Play Hard | here's luck | 2016 | Killjoys | Krewella | 03:18 | Thirteen years after Superstar, I vidded another hot dark-haired woman with knives, leather pants, and daddy issues. This one also has a spaceship. In the immortal words of Cesperanza, "vidders like what they like." | vid on AO3 |
| 10 | I Know A Place | here's luck | 2018 | Sense8 | MUNA | 04:33 | ...and one of the things I like is a gorgeous, queer, chosen-family ensemble show set to lesbian dancepop. Yay! | vid on AO3 |
