Fan Video Wiki

This wiki is about various types of videos based around media fandom. Many of them take the form of music videos utilizing imagery which has been taken from the media upon which they are based and arranged to fit the music; they can also include everything from short animations to fan-created episodes of TV series. There are countless varieties, and many have their own specific names.

Such videos have been made for decades. They became substantially easier to create, and much more popular as a result, when video editing software such as Windows Movie Maker became widely available. Nowadays, there are many different communities of people who create these videos, each connected to different fandoms, and with their own terminology. They usually post their creations on video-sharing websites. Particularly popular fan videos can have millions of views, and some are shown at conventions; a few have even been acknowledged by the creators of the source material, with some even influencing official media.

The goal of this wiki is to catalogue their many varieties, the methods used to create them, and their history.

This is a collaborative community website that anyone, including you, can build and expand. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!

Formal language is not nearly as important as detailed, accurate, and comprehensible information. If you have any information to contribute to this wiki, adding it would help greatly, as long as you can do so in a somewhat coherent manner.
