Vidding and femslash

aurumcalendulaThe oldest VCR edited femslash vids I've found so far are Katharine's (B5, 1997/1998) and Tarae's (Xena and Voyager, 1998/1999). It sounds like Matt Savelkoul started making VCR-edited Xena vids in December 1997, but I'm not sure if he vidded femslash (I haven't tracked down copies of his yet).
It seems like some Xena vidders were vidding digitally pretty early on (possibly 1999 or earlier, although I'm unsure if some of those were edited digitally or just digitized after - I think they'd all be working with VHS source so it's not always obvious if stuff was edited on two VCRs or a computer).
And now I'm curious about VCR edited Voyager femslash vids...
The TGIF/F folks were nice enough to send me copies of previous years' vidshow runlists and said it was okay to put on Fanlore, so I'm working on getting that info added to their page there.
(this year's virtual TGIF/F is the first I actually attended, so it's neat to see what was shown at previous vidshows)
