“The close analyses of specific vids spread throughout the book are remarkable both for the insight they offer of each individual vid and the way they model what in-depth analyses of fan video can be. The history and vid analyses are woven deftly together to then serve as a framework for understanding the book’s discussion of cultural debates about the value of remix, what defines remix, what remix practices have been heralded as important, and how vids and vidders have significantly changed that conversation over the years.”

“Vidding makes a valuable contribution to scholarship on fandom, media, and audiences and an especially significant feminist intervention in scholarly definitions of and conversations about remix.”

"This is a culmination of decades of research with, on, through, and about vids, vidders, and vidding, and it does what it sets out to do. As anyone who has read Coppa's writing before knows, she is dedicated to highlighting the vital contributions of women to fandom and vidding in particular, and this continued dedication is another strength of the book."
