grammarwomanThe weekend is soooo close now. We're having a potluck today at work, and I am about two bites away from uncomfortably full from the sheer deliciousness available. (And about two blinks from a nap, too.)
I could/should be working, but there's a code freeze right now as an urgent project gets approved to go live, so everything I do has to wait until next week anyway.
Instead, I am working on my Festivids offers and requests. I copied the whole list of available entries to a spreadsheet, then went through and deleted everything that didn't immediately pique my interest. Now I'm going back and removing those items that I merely own and/or have enjoyed, feel like I should want to do, or would like to see a vid for, in favor of the ones that really resonate with me, because 60 fandoms is kind of a ridiculous amount to offer. This is so HARD. I need to make another list of things I would consider making as treats, so I don't feel so bad about cutting them from the list.
Vidders, what's your winnowing process and criteria?

So, e.g., last year I got amazing Big Eden vids, and this year I don't feel the need to offer it or to request it -- my niche is filled.

I have my requests written up, but I'm going to sleep on it and make sure I don't get any late-breaking changes occurring to me. These feedback should make it much easier to pare down the offer list.
