Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

Oh, excellent! That makes *so* much sense. I mean, fandom makes things out of all sorts, but this seemed so random and specific.
I just stumbled upon Kidlock, and I was about to come here and ask who they have playing Young Sherlock, but, der, I realise it's the kid the tumblr's named after--Asa Butterfield. Judging from other posts on the feed, the caps for him might be from Hugo, I think. I'm also gonna guess that the matching Laurence Belcher footage is from X-Men: First Class.
It's pretty cute. I do like the art form of constructing a new narrative through captioned animated GIFs. What is that called? I first really noticed it in SuperWhoLock, which is just too cool.
What is that called?
The Future! Seriously, though, I don't know if there's an "official term"
GIFimation? GIFfic?
I may just go to one of the tumblrs of one of the people who does it a lot and well, and ask her if she knows. I've never seen it called anything, but it's done so much I figure someone must have coined something, right? That's what humans do--label stuff, for good or for ill.
Cool. If you find out, let us know. I'd like to have a noun.
So, the question's out there. She (letmesayIloveyou) hadn't had a name for what she'd been doing, but she reposted the question, and so far has one suggestion of fanGIFtion, which is a mouthful and then some.
We'll see.
GIFfic is fairly clear and understandable and not quite as horrendous. I say we run with it. We're trendsetters.
You know that hit-counts meme going around right now?
When someone on your DW Network has five times as many hits as your most popular story ever, it's... kind of disheartening.
t sigh
Sometimes, when I look at my hit counts,which are modest, but impress me since I don't archive on a consistent basis, I do wonder if I've got a hater who wants to show her friends how awful my story is.(of course it's also a WIP--maybe they are going to comment when I'm done, but I suspect I have some karma coming too.
