Proof that Sturgeon's Law can be averted.
Touhou Project fan-made videos. Most visuals are original, with musical arrangements for audio; meaning the majority are Music Anime Doujinshi (MAD). While the original music is spectacular, it contains no lyrics, so fans do what they usually do and create fan vids from the ground up instead. And as evidenced below, there is a gargantuan archive of creations. Two large lists of creators can be found here and here, but are in an unfiltered alphabetical list of a variety of different group types; such as games, music, & videos.
Fanime goes above and beyond, with some OAVs being good enough to make Touhou look like an anime, instead of a Sprite/Polygon Mix video game series; they can be found under the Fan Works index (along with fanfiction, games, & webcomics).
Overlaps with Crossovers & Memes, as there are many Fan Vids that combine other works with Touhou.
