I can recommend 2 alternatives: vidders.net is a privately run website that has been around for 10+ years. You create a free account and contact the administrator. It's whitelisted on #ArchiveOfOurOwn so you'll be able to embed your video and stream from there

The other alternative is the #InternetArchive. They too are whitelisted on #AO3 so you can embed and stream from there. Use the AO3 vid page as a central placeholder for all of your streaming sources

I would suggest you use both alternatives to maximize your streams

The final location is called CriticalCommons.org. You have to apply for an account, explaining your purpose, and when you upload your video write a short paragraph explaining it transformative nature. It's a site devoted to analyzing and discussing media culture

Printed #fanfiction is not "illegal". It is called #fanzines & has been around for 50 years. All #TransformativeWorks (#FanArt, #FanVids) rely on the #FairUse defense to #copyright. Commercial activity is only 1 of the 4 factors when deciding if an activity violates copyright. The fact that $ exchanged hands is not an automatic copyright violation. $ weighs heavily, but with printed fanfic, only a few copies made, maybe not

Again: #TermsofService =\= copyright law

In addition to printed works, we're looking for videos from 80s & 90s

#introduction take 2, since I'm moving from another instance.

Hi, I'm Eleanor. In working life I'm a #cx and #communications professional and unofficial technical #writer.

Off the clock, I'm a keen #gamer, and my all-time favourite hobby is #ttrpgs. Other hobbies include #stationery, #fountainpens, #planner s, #transformativeworks and #fandom. I'm passionate about #socialjustice and #civilrights.

So, that's me - hi! I'm keen to engage with Mastodon's community and make a new home here. :)

It's #introduction time, since like so many others I'm new here.

#introduction Hi I'm Llew. I used to teach ESL in the Midwest; now I'm in the midst of a late life #autism diagnosis.

I live out in the sticks with my spouse and two cats, #stillmask when i go out in public. Love #gaming, #embroidery, #transformativeworks, and my special interest right now is history seen through the eye (ha!) of #needlework.

Tooting about all of the above, and anything else that catches my fancy. Nice to meet you!
