>_<

Can anyone confirm what happened to Jen (comp virus, flooding, AFK, MIA, etc)?

It's very odd she dropped off the thread so long ago without a peep. Also, what has become of the project? Have most of you finished your sections or were you waiting for a response?

I'm waiting for a response from her. I wanted to see if I was going in the right direction with the segment and she just kinda.....disappeared. O_o

I'm confused too. Especially since she was one of the better coordinators I've worked with. Then again, IRL stuff happens a lot.

So... you're probably wondering where I've been. Where to start...

I suppose, first and foremost, I should apologize - and I am sorry, everyone. The unfortunate truth is that ever since I got home from college, a number of "real life" things have piled up on me (the main culprit being study abroad) and I've simply hit a slump. What does this mean in terms of the project?

It means that, despite being given many terrific tracks-in-progress, even things that I normally enjoy doing (like coordinating this project) aren't catching my interest at all lately. I'm too focused on where I'm going to be two months from now and all of the stress that comes with preparing for that. I think this leaves me with three main options.

1. Cancel the project. Given all of the time and effort you guys have put into this, I'm really, really loathe to pick this. I barely even consider it an option.

2. Wait until I return from Spain. This was originally already worked into the schedule anyway. However, how many of you are really willing to pick this up so many months from now? Not too many, I'd bet. On the upside, study abroad will be out of the picture, and I'll just be concerned with a run-of-the-mill new semester starting. As I'm going to be a college senior, it's not exactly a song and dance I haven't done before, and thus, not something I'm particularly worried about.

3. Hand the project over to someone else. It gains the benefit of being finished on a timely schedule (hopefully), but loses some of the direction I was giving it. Yes, this is my baby and I'm cautious about someone else taking over, but it's the best option for you guys. The only downside is that I'm unsure of who would be a good choice for the job, but I'm sure that could be easily remedied by just taking suggestions and combining that with what I know about the particular members.

Believe me, I am painfully aware of the sizable chunk of time that I have wasted for you folks, and that is why I'm apologizing one more time. I wouldn't blame any of you for being frustrated with me right now. Still, I hope we can come to an agreement of how to work past this.

Sorry, everyone.


- Jen

I dunno about everyone else, but I'd be fine with waiting until you get back from Spain. I'd really hate to see this project get canceled altogether and while having someone else head the MEP is much better than discarding it, I'd still prefer waiting.

I agree.

But then again, I knmow what it's like getting back from a long trip, so if the project needs to be cancelled, then I guess I understand.

I agree, I'll also wait. I'm always online, so a simple PM when you get back and I'll be back to work. =3

I'm more than willing to wait until you return. With that much time, I'll definitely be able to swing that other track I mentioned. Plus I can actually make them look good! Image

waiting for me is not an option saddly.
You see, the "fun" factor of making AMVs is almost gone for me, I was planing to make this track my last try at editing something in which I would, somehow, care about the opinion of others.

Anyway, you could ask me for a final before you go if you liked the second beta (I still would need feedback as soon as possible, my reasons are in the PM I sent you 1 month ago), but I probably will not edit for this once you come back.

Cancel it would be a shame for sure.

and someone taking over would be a good option for everybody else but its not the same... besides that maybe that someone will make me redo the whole thing and maybe I will end up droping out of the project saying "you know? fuck this!" (I know it sounds selfish, but read again the first part of this post)

Just in case anyone still cares, I'm sorry to say that I'm going to cancel this project. My interest in editing has diminished almost entirely in the last year, and although I still frequent the site pretty often, I've more or less become a viewer instead of an editor. Obviously, this also means that I have no desire to coordinate a project. Maybe it sounds selfish, but I've decided that I prefer canceling than handing this off to anyone else. It was my baby, and I don't want anyone taking it and possibly twisting it into something I didn't want.

If anyone has a completed track, feel free to release it as a stand alone or in a compilation or whatever you like. It's your track, you edited it, and you can do whatever you want with it. You don't need my permission for anything.

As for me, I don't think I'll be attempting to coordinate any more projects; I just don't think I'm very good at it. Sorry for wasting anyone's time, thank you for your continued patience, and I especially thank everyone for all of the effort you put in. As I said before, I'll still be hanging around the site, so if for whatever reason you need to drop me a line, do so.

My apologies, and thanks everyone.

Something in my gut prompted me to check this thread last night. The otaku-sense was right.

I might still do something with my Beyond Good and Evil footage. Captured the whole game with 45.5GB of footage and those are super rare AMVs... must be used for something, eh?

For me at least, AMV-making hibernates during the winter. Don't be glum if you also feel that way.

Oh...sad day...

Well, I personally thought you were a great MEP leader and I understand that you'd rather cancel than hand it off. If you do ever happen to change your mind about leading another MEP, though, be sure to let me know
