Dealing with AMV Fame

[Shin-AMV]

I've had some people squee at me when they find me on youtube and for whatever reasons about half those people assume I'm a girl. :/ Regardless I usually enjoy talking about AMVs if I have some time.

Tell them to fuck off and get on my level of profound genius.

Someone mentioned me being famous for trolling hundreds or thousands people with Just Passing By?

Well, I just...



But really, I am more famous for other things... maybe...

[Sephiroth]

Fame are any of us really famous? I mean its a 3rd tier hobby at best. Vid editions relatively new more people know about things like masquerading or fan fiction because these things have been going on much longer.

I Think mabye Brad Demoss might be the most famous of us and even then i view hat as more so because he's done thinks like host AX masquerade.

While vids may be popular the creators arent. When we get posted on another side there's very little about who made it. Cosplay and Masquerading don't have as much of a problem with this since an authors name is at the start of their work usually and the costumed person is the one wearing it.

TO put it another way think of films. Do we know who directed every film we watch? Now think of every book or actor out there you know who's in the movie and you know who wrote the book.

That's probably a bad comparison. Well it is for me at least. I follow directors far more closely than actors or actresses.

nobody ever does that to me.

Awww, I think you're famous. YOU'RE THAT GUY FROM MILK BAGS!




Me? Never had that at a con. Online, I'll get a few people who are like "Oh, you're THAT Ileia!", but nothing too crazy. Although, I do have random weirdos online who pretend that I was their "master" and that I helped them with their video. But that's just downright creepy. D:

You my master baby ... Now whip it! Whip it good!

I think back in like... 2003-2004, I was talking to some guy in my Japanese class at college, and it came up that I make amvs, and I mentioned the names of a couple of them, and then the guy freaked out
He was like "OMG NO WAY I CANT BELIEVE IT WAS YOU WHO MADE THAT, I LOVE THAT VIDEO OMG"
And I was like...
"..........ooookay........"

I've been asked for autographs before - on multiple occasions. Really creepy feeling.
