Or are Funny/Annoying ones better?

98 (48) MysteriousRyder - "Death Romance" - BEST IN SHOW
* Note to MR: How do you feel about your decision to change categories now?
To MysteriousRyder: Be prepared, becase your video is going to be just like the controversy with Nightowl Studios' "Love Is Flowers" from about 10 years ago.
I liked your video, but to me it's not a comedy. (And just because a video has yaoi content doesn't automatically mean that it's a comedy. When will people ever realize that?) If your video truly is a drama video, then it should ideally compete in the category that you intended it to compete in. Of course we can't control whether the coordinator will allow it to compete in the intended category, or if others in pre-judging believe that it should be in a different category.

I've studied social psych, I have a reasonable comprehension of group dynamics... I have to say though I'm even more distrubed if alot of people found this funny.

You should have heard the debate behind the scenes over "Give It All."
I told those who initiated it there wasn't all that they were reading into it.
The con chair and board agreed and so did the viewers.

Light, in this case, didn't want to be part of this "relationship" with L and fought him throughout the entire video until the very end where he resolved the issue.
It was a very well put together video.
Maybe the concept is kinda played out (thanks largely to fanfic) but this video's technical / artistic merits and the way it stuck to the story made it solid.
There was also more comedic value and conflict than romance.

The laughter was certainly genuine, as I myself found more amusement with it with each viewing.
I'll admit I didn't care much for it in the beginning in terms of concept (and I abstained from scoring any video for the preliminary screening) but it grew on me.
Bottom line: the viewers made their choice.

I'm sorry for coming off so contentiously. I feel like I should fix what I wrote before posting it... but I can't bring myself to.
