Nerdfighters

Nerdfighter Projects

Since John and Hank pioneered the whole idea of collaborative YouTube channels, lots of siblings, friends and even strangers have started up channels inspired by the Green Brothers.

If you'd like to have your project on this page, just leave a comment with a little summary about the project and of course a link to it! (Saying 'link' because only writing the name gives me more work because then I have to search for it as well and honestly it get's tiring.)

Hello Nerdfighters. I really need your help and suggestions. I live in Florida and the owner of around 52 horses died, and the son wants nothing to do with them. So they can't find homes for them, they'll be slaughtered next week on Saturday. If you have any suggestions or live in the Florida, Ocala area please contact them at 440-463-4288 or contact me at Nerdyryno@gmail.com.

While this isn't quite the fare that is normal for Nerdfighter Projects, my friend Victor and I have started a vlog/blog called The N Factor, in which we hope to analyze the whole of nerddom...(nerdom? nerd-dom?) through the lense of video games. So if ya'll want to listen to two nerds talk about video games and how they effect and shape our community (as long as we can stay on topic...) check out our youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/1TheNfactor?feature=mhee    

and our tumblrhttp://www.thenfactor.tumblr.com

I am involved in a collab blog with 6 other Nerdfighters called NerdWriters. We all have a day we blog on. Our blogs have not quite shape yet because we just formed and most of us don't know eachother yet. Help our readers grow as our blogs improve?

My project is Browncoats: Redemption

Browncoats: Redemption is a feature length independent film set in the Firefly universe that has received Joss Whedon blessing, studio approval, and 100% of the net proceeds are donated to charity. Since it's release on September 1, 2010, we've raised over $60,000 combined for the five charities, charities created
or supported by the cast and crew of Firefly. 

What makes this additionally impressive is that this is the first ever fan film to be allowed to be used as a charity business model that has never been created before. Since it's release on DVD September 1, 2010, we've raised over $60,000 combined for the charities we support, shipped it globally, and have been able to publicly present checks for our donations to date to Adam Baldwin (photo at: http://dft.ba/-D8Y), Jewel Staite (http://dft.ba/-D8-), and we recently presented a check to Joss Whedon and Equality Now in person at the California Can’t Stop the Serenity event on June 25th (view the presentation at: http://dft.ba/-D8X).


The project ends on September 1, 2011 and the DVD/charity model won't be used any more for this project. Our website is http://browncoatsmovie.com

I've started an "I Believe..." project on tumblr. It asks people from all over to post what keeps them going. What gives them inspiration. It's all in hopes to show that it's alright to believe in something no matter how big, small, or impossible. Check it out: Link. I update the blog regularly... will post even more frequently once more submissions fill the inbox!

Here is a project you might want to add to the list, the Nerdfighter Newsletter, also known as N Squared
http://nerdfighternews.tumblr.com/
Comment by xxdaydreambeliever87xx on May 4, 2011 at 12:55am

http://xxdreamer87xx.blogspot.com/ is basically about one girl in her early 20's (me). I graduated from college with a BA in English Lit and I am finding out not everything is what it seems in the "real world". The title of the blog is called "The Oppositional Dream," inspired by Don Quixote. What makes it nerdfighter worthy are the following things:

 

1. Although it is about the life of the post-grad, it focuses on the struggles and common misconceptions of adult interactions

2. It philosophizes societal, economic and even occasionally political structures.

3. Many of the items that are written in the blog cover a variety of dorky endeavors including geeking out over "The Guild", "The Legend of Neil", "Harry Potter", "Glee", "Starkids", "Being Erica" and of course most recently, you guys at vlogbrothers.

4. The most important of all I think is since my introduction to Brotherhood2.0 a few weeks ago, I started watching from the very beginning and slowly working my way through the next four years of vlogs. From there, I comment about it's awesomeness and stuff.

As of right now, there is no end in sight for the blog. It's not the most consistent (pretty much when there's time and sometimes there's a lot of free time), but it still usually covers about 4-10 blogs per month.

Oh and also I'm a writer as well! Someday I want books published (young adult probably) so it covers my struggles as a writer and trying to make money off of that. My main purpose for the blog is not for it to be emo, but instead to share my experience because, as in your terminology, I'm hoping the creation of empathy will decrease world suck. After all, the more someone knows, the less of a chance for them to become ignorant and therefore fearful. :)

A Bit of Everything

This project has several different features. In addition to being a video blog, it will alternately  be a debate channel.

  • The video blog will be mostly (but not exclusively) science, with a comedic twist.
  • Sometime there will be funny video clips, comedy skits and various rants about unimportant, but funny topics.
  • The debate part is as follows: One person starts off by making points on an interesting debate topic. That initial debate post will be followed with a video reply, either by myself, or by anyone else that has an opinion on the topic and wants to join in.
(anyone can join in, but anyone starting an original post for a new debate topic, be advised: New topics must be posted on the original Debate Channel, and optionally to the original poster's own personal channel)
