Although I have no idea what AuN means or stands for and I've been curious for awhile, so someone with the answer fill me in on that please.

It stands for Anime Universe Network (which was a website that Bakadeshi made). I remember that someone posted this on Chiisus' formspring. http://www.formspring.me/Chiiisus/q/260552050792740092

Anyway, I don't actually look at the song/ anime combination of the video before I watch it. When I scroll down the announcement thread, I search for any creative or catchy thread titles. Then I search for editors that I know of. For about a year, I watched every single video in the announcement thread and rarely let one go unchecked, but that really became tiring. I still watch a significant number of them though.

Back to the point: If you give your video some generic "character x vs character y" name, its gonna turn people off. And if your user name requires significant effort to remember, people won't even be able to remember if you've made good videos in the past. I actually put a lot of thought into naming my videos.

Based on your avatar, I think she's absorbing you. XD

i was curious about the aun thing too, actually, that's kinda neat.

that's a good way to do it i guess. That's way impressive about the whole year thing. i tried that for 2 days but i forgot the next day or got lazy.

i agree completely agree and relate with the last paragraph.

Another thing that really turns me off threads is when people are self-demotivating in their announcement threads. Stuff like "I know I suck, and this was made in just 39 minutes with WMM, so don't watch it".

BE MORE CONFIDENT! If you're not confident, how can other people be confident in your work?

On this site i don't think it matters much, on youtube it matters greatly.
