I know, so many options!

I know I'd want there to be a C.J. Cregg variation, because of "The Long Goodbye". I'm not really sure which variation, though. I think in the episode they only play the aria.



Anyway, should we set up a community to start planning this?

Definitely! (Comm name = Goldberg Vidderations?) (Which is more vidder+iteration than vid+variation, but it sounds better than other things, possibly?) (Terrible puns, I haz them.)

I'm already working on a C.J. Cregg vid so I leave that variation up to someone else, but I can see the West Wing in general being good fodder for the project. There are some interesting (and some too-on-the-nose) ideas I can see for that show in the context of the variations.

FYI, my e-mail is ghost (dot) lingering (at) gmail (dot) com if you want to chat about this more before starting a comm? e-mail is easier for me to respond to most days than dw comments.
