Featured Fandom: Once Upon A Time

The surprise hit fairytale-based show, Once Upon A Time, is quickly closing in on it's second season finale and we'll no doubt have to tide ourselves over during the summer with fan videos celebrating all the bedazzled, swashbuckling characters.
Just what is it that intrigues the viewers of this fandom and makes it so fun to vid? Is it the magical effects? The stunning costumes? Why not view a few OUAT fan videos and take your best guess at what inspires the videos.

This go-round the theme was “kickass action” and the resulting video is on the nose with a wide variety of fandoms and both male and female representation.
