A Great Gift!

Jul 15, 2009 18:10

Since some of my f-listers have shared some awesome reviews they have received recently which inspired them, I can't resist sharing this: someone made an AMV for BWM! It completely blew me away and now I am so pumped that I am desperate to shoo everyone out of my house so I can WRITE! Of course, that isn't going to happen, so I expect I will be ( Read more... )

Wow, that is ten sorts of totally awesome!! Talk about having fans of your work...!

I always feel like I'm having a Sally Field Oscar-winning moment when I get a great review. ^_^ And this gal MADE an AMV for MY story? Get the fuck out of here! I'm just Joe the Plumber writing fanfiction. LOL! (Okay, so I'm Joe the history prof, which is even more boring. ^_~) But I'm flying high today!

Congrats!!!! *cheers* I'm so happy for you - how AWESOME is that?!

It's just CRAZY that anyone would do that for something I wrote! (But I love it!) Now I need an icon that says "What do you mean you haven't heard of me? I am TOO a BNF, damnit! Just ask the 5 people who reviewed my story." *snicker*

Seriously though, it was so, so gratifying to see what she chose to highlight in her AMV. I was like, "Yes! That's it! You got it!"

That's probably the best feeling - knowing that what you were trying to say actually got through ^_^

*gives you a good drink*
Drink up, you deserve it!

"That's probably the best feeling - knowing that what you were trying to say actually got through"

*nods* Or when they pick up on an underlying theme or take the time to point out a phrase you used that you are particularly proud of. I just LOVE it when people let you know.

*gives you a good drink*

Thank you! I haven't had a good drink in a long time. Cheers!

Wow, congrats! That's quite an honor!

madmiko July 16 2009, 02:59:12 UTC

Thanks! I still can't quite believe it. ^_^ I mean, I'm a nobody! I can't believe someone would do something like that for me. It makes me want to really get cracking on this next chapter. (And pray I don't let that gal down with it. Yikes! Pressure!)

So I had this on my list of stories to read anyway, but I gotta say after seeing the AMV, which was like an awesome trailer to it, I've gotta move it to the top of the list ^_^

madmiko July 16 2009, 08:24:42 UTC

Hehheh! I hadn't thought of it like a trailer, but I guess in a way it is. I was just so amazed with the whole thing that I want to learn how to make AMVs now. (And I feel like I should send the girl some bourbon chocolates for a thank you. ^_^)

Congrats. Truly an honor to be featured in a video. My 2003 Dell is too slow to run YOUTUBE I will try to see if my son can raise it on our laptop

madmiko July 16 2009, 08:33:04 UTC

Thanks! I am still just completely blown away that she did that. It was so completely unexpected and it makes me feel like Queen for a Day or something. ^_^ And to see what she picked out as the theme of the story just fired up my enthusiasm tenfold. (Now I'm just hoping I don't disappoint her or anyone else with the rest of the story!)

I hope you can see the video! Since she was such a doll to make it, I'd like to return the favor somehow by maybe sending some viewers her way. I was so intrigued by the song she used since the version is so different from the one I was familiar with by Real Life. I always liked the original version, but she really fit the action to the version she used by Zeromancer.
