That could be an interesting approach to take. I'll put it in my backburner.

Also, I plan to have a full statement about the future lip flappers later this evening. A few new changes may be coming our way come April.

Agreed with gote. His suggestion sounds really interesting :up:

"Race" is totally the wrong word. The USA and France are two of the most ethnically diverse nations. (I have no clue about Russia.) But cultural differences in AMV preferences would be interesting....


I just really hate to see a word misused in repetition like that.

it just seems to me that most of the smaller communities (i.e. not youtube or the Org) are primarily composed of a single race or maybe it's just the language, but it's not about race as much as it is the communities that are seemingly divided by race.

I think I'll likely use the word "culture" instead.

"Race" and "nationality" are not synonyms. When I said it was totally the wrong word, trust me, I was right.

State of the Flapper

Well, it's now about 2 months since I began "The Lip Flapper". Thanks for all the support. I really appreciate it! :3

Now, I'm currently about to begin midterms. Thankfully, "The Lip Flapper" has enough material to continue production during this time. Next week should be especially eventful [one post a day for our 4-part panel, as well as the AMV Review on Friday!].

However, post-midterms, I'm going to start implementing a few changes with the lip flapper to make it more user friendly (as well as to save a little time on my end as well). The first big change is going to be that "The Lip Flapper" is going to begin being produced in a PDF format available for download. I feel like formatting the forum posts each week is becoming a hassle, and having an InDesign template that I can copy/paste each week will make this more easy. Plus, this will allow for easy reading on mobile devices as well as with saving copies should that interest you. I plan on formatting prior interviews in this format, but only once I've really gotten everything kicked off and running effectively. I'm still searching for a logo designer if anyone is interested!

I also plan to squash the idea for surveys. Unfortunately, my "test" survey did not go very well. It did not have enough data to be statistically relevant (I see this as a recurring issue), and I feel like it wouldn't make for a good editorial anyway.

While reviews, panels and interviews are currently the only 3 production plans at the moment, I have several plans in the future. None of these are in "perfect" planning condition at the moment, but I do think that they should be viable at the conclusion of Project OrgEditor Season 2 (when I will have time to properly dedicate to them). Let's just say that they may involve YouTube if I can get the project off the ground and actually get editors to go through with it. [Luckily, I have Re-Evolution friends that may humor me long enough. XD] However, these will likely only be "monthly" editions due to their high level of production time required.

I was thinking that the lip flapper threads should probably have their own sub forum under general AMVs. If not, they'll eventually take up the entire general AMV forum.

It would also be nice of the sub forum had 2 locations, or a "shortcut location" (like how the VCA thread is under the org supported contest forum, and under Anime Music Videos category on the main page).

people wouldn't notice the lipflapper as much and it would be relying on DEDICATED fans not just passersby that are like "oh hey, i liked the last one, let's skim through this"

them taking up the general forum is the general forum's fault, code uploads once or twice a week not everyday (save for this week) so i don't think a subforum is a good idea.

I see your point.
