I’ve been fascinated for a while with the way new media allows people to not just experience their favorite shows and movies, but actually create new videos or concepts around them. It’s an interesting way to share an experience, while having fun.

Is it news? Nope. Is it goofy? Obviously. But it’s a fun way to connect to the larger community of fans out there all appreciating and celebrating the same thing.
