This is the bandom powerpoint primer! There are lots of bandom primers 
out there, and they are all a lot more accurate than this one. However, 
this one has dancing letters! 

The story goes like this: Hannah (buffyx) said she didn't know anything 
about bandom. (Please note that, really, I do not know anything about 
bandom either.) The last time she didn't know anything about a fandom, it 
was SGA, and when she visited MissDeviant, there was a magical and 
mystical powerpoint primer on the true love between McKay and Sheppard. 
How could I possibly live up to that? 

However, Hannah was well-pleased when she landed in New York and there 
was a bandom powerpoint primer waiting for her!  

(Let me tell you, as soon as she said "powerpoint" I was off and running. 
Like a vid without using Premiere! Woo!)

Then, the great and powerful Michelle (sparklyfabulous) did some kind of 
amazing trick, and turned the PPT file into an AVI file! I encoded it to 
XVid, and BAM! 

I suggest watching this to a soundtrack of this Paula Abdul "themed" 
Pandora radio station:
http://www.pandora.com/stations/9b1d1d36fc95befce218fd46cbfd0ca48598f9b0e8d84f3f

If that fails you, or if you have a grudge against Pandora, or if you are 
just contrary, listening to Cobra Starship while watching works, too. So 
does Justin Timberlake, because bandom is bringing sexy back.

This is available in this directory 
(http://www.aleuromancy.net/lalejandra/bandomprimer/) as an XVid-encoded 
AVI, and an MOV (thanks, Michelle!) for easy watching, and the original 
PPT for easy remixing. Go forth and transform if you so desire.

Oh, and hey: much thanks to the people who watched this and gave suggestions. 
You know who you are, and you rule.

yourself, you only have yourself to blame. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
