aycheb's "Scarlet Ribbons" - If you are a BtVS fan, download NOW.
Themes and changes
I felt like this year's theme was women and relationships between women (we easily doubled or tripled the vid possibilities for another relationships between women show) and that made me really happy.
AAARGH. Had much longer comment on this, but erased it in edits. Anyway: improvement in number of vids featuring POC more incremental, but still noticeable. I counted 6 or 7 vids focused on an actor of color or on an ensemble prominantly featuring multiple actors of color plus 2 vids explicitly critiquing the absence of POC from media or fandom, and that's not counting ensemble or single-character or romance vids in which there was a significant presence of actors of color (i.e., there's an SGA vid which is John/Rodney but a really significant emphasis on team as family with real face time for Ronon and Teyla, a bunch of Torchwood vids focused on Jack with a team emphasis, etc.).
