Each completed video I am proud of (eventually). When I first finish it I tell myself I don't want to even look at it again and that I'm lucky if it even makes the finals. But after a few days of detox that feeling fades pretty quickly. I think the first AMV I ever entered into a contest. I was so happy when I got that email that said it was going to be shown at Fanime. And that feeling of sitting in the audience watching something I had made up on a big screen... I can't even describe the amount of pride I felt. I didn't even think about the possibility of winning anything while I was watching the closing ceremonies until they called my name out. I haven't felt proud of myself very often, so it was a strange and wonderful feeling.
And damn, it was pretty addictive.
