I expect there'll be a couple dozen editors that'll keep me entertained whenever I get the hankering to watch a vid. I expect myself to have grand visions and fall short of them because I just get sick of working on them.
Are those expectations justified or misplaced?
I'd say they're perfectly justified, albeit a tad bit reflective for any real breakthrough.
Do they overwhelm you?
The expectations? They used to, until I got used to selling myself short so I didn't end up as disappointed in the end. I don't think it's right to feel overwhelmed when you're putting in less work than at least 5 other people... That said - I like to think i can push boundaries with new things.
And how do you think others perceive you and your work?
General fans, or forum-goers here? I've received hundreds of compliments, thousands of downloads, been asked multiple times for autographs, and gotten reviews/posts/etc of my work from at least 9 different countries. I think people here think of me as a forum lurker more than an editor though.
How does that make you feel?
The "fame" thing is weird (I use quotes because I feel kinda awkward and pompous using that word in this context). The reception here is fine - I wouldn't want to be name-dropped or have my dick sucked by every noob that walks through the door like some people have to put up with.
