Results for the Caption this!
Christmas Challenge!

I am so, so sorry and sad that the voting didn´t work this time, and somehow it´s all in a mess, and there are votes all over the place and it´s all very unprofessional and inaccurate.
I gave my best to try and fix it and fix it again and find a solution and I am very unsatisfied with the outcome, but here´s what I gathered from all the posts and voting possibilities:


Winner for

Picture Number 1 is:

tinturtle with: "If I hear "Last Christmas" one more time, I'm gonna shoot someone."

Discovered in a Snowglobe - 5th January 2023 - "Land of Confusion" by Katharine Scarritt

[tinturtle]

On this twelfth day of Christmas, I am happy to be able to share a gift from me to the Pros fandom: a recut of Katharine Scarritt's classic 1980s fanvid "Land of Confusion".

Katharine Scarritt left us in March of last year, but those responsible for her fanworks were able to digitize the video tapes she left behind and posted her fanvids on the Internet Archive in August. I was excited to see these tape-era vids, and I admire them very much. Unfortunately, many of the original video tapes were badly degraded, meaning that the image and audio quality of the transcribed files is often very poor. That made me sad, so I was delighted when Katharine Scarritt's legatees accepted my offer to make a recut of "Land of Confusion", one of the vids with the most distortion and also one that has been highly regarded in Pros fandom. Recutting the vid was a complicated process involving several video and audio editing programs, but I am very happy with the result. I hope it would have pleased Katharine Scarritt and that all of you will enjoy it.

(Please note that this is a limited-time preview of the recut. It is currently hosted with permission at my webspace, but since I am not the guardian of the vid, it will only be there for one week. Once it is posted to IA, I will edit this post to point to that file. There may be a period when it is not available anywhere, however.)
