The Vividcon schedule does mean that many vidders display particular crazy behaviors at the same time each year, true.

But the vidders are crazy at all times, which is not the fault of VVC--lots of vidders I know will avoid vids in fandoms they are currently vidding, because they don't want to be "tainted" or feel inadequate. I've done it, much to my shame, although I try not to.

Making a vid for someone is a freeing experience. I've made a couple for my best friend, and I've always looked on any other comments I get on those as bonus.
