The Otakon 2009 thread

[VicBond007]

Speaking of hard work, I still have a lot ahead of me. Because it's so close to the con, I REALLY don't have the time to hand out pre-screening scores like I usually do. If I see you at the con, I can pull up the list and show you where your entry stood, but I do not need another 140 emails over the next 2 weeks ._.

Wow - Animerata must have just sucked or something......... didn't make the "Finalists", "Not Finalists" or even the "Disqualified Entries" either. I KNOW Anibad does - I made it that way.

Animerata DOES have some dubbed voices, but I made a version without that sequence for this. Submitted on 4-25-2009. I submitted 'AniBad' on 4-29-2009.

Maybe I just messed something up.


Oh well, back to clicking on Mahoro, Avcon awaits!

You were not one of the 6 submission forms that I received without videos. Meaning I never received a form from you, you never got a confirmation e-mail saying that your entry was received (because I had no info to go on), I never got a "stray entry" uploaded to my FTP server, I have no FTP username that is even remotely like yours, and my PO Box is empty. So I got no form from you, and no video, and when I post threads here and on the Otakon forums saying "All confirmation e-mails were sent" you didn't follow up. Basically what you're saying is that my web server, my database server, my FTP server, your e-mail server, and/or the US Postal Service all simultaneously failed, for you and you alone, as I had entries come in on both the 25th and 29th, just fine.

I think the easier explanation here is that you somehow sent your video to the wrong contest.

My entry didn't make it in this year, but congrats to everyone who did. ^_^ It's nice to see some new names on the list. Judging without knowing who created the AMV is really the best way and hearing that it might be a permanent change for the Otakon judging is great news.

Like I said:

This thread is where I have my info linked, so I messed something up bad.

*sigh*

Congrats to all the finalists!! Great job everyone. Oooh, only a few weeks until I can see everything for myself...I can't wait!

[SilkAMV]

Any word on when we'll get a category specific list?

[Cyanna]

If the results look...interesting...it's because I took Scintilla's advice and ran everything blind this year, which lead to some pleasantly surprising results.

So it's all HIS fault eh?
