Dealing with AMV Fame

[Pwolf]

every once in awhile I'd be talking about AMVs to random people and they'd have the "OH MY GOD YOU KNOW <insert editor name here>" and I'd get to go "yeah, I hang out with them a few times a year!"

At Sakuracon a not so well known but good editor asked me if I knew who Koopiskeva was, I told her I slept on his couch multiple times and we were good friends. "O.O"

[ZephyrStar]

.....and people think I'm a girl due to my nick most of the time as well -__-

Wait, ur not a girl EITHER? I'm totally not good at this...

I could probably add that when I walk around cons with my friend Matt we'll get stopped randomly by people who have been to our adult AMV events. Apparently people really love us for showing such horrible videos while both physically and mentally abusing them.... Not sure if that counts as AMV fame, but without vids made by the likes of MJ, SD, and others I wouldn't have any content to be known for showing....

Haha, I got this same thing, when I was living in the apartment with him and Brad.
The person was like "You live in Chicago? OMG, did you know Koopiskeva lives there, too?"
"...Yes. He and AtomX are my roommates."
"Who?"

[Phantasmagoriat]

"hmm... I recognize that username..."

That's about the extent of any 'fame' I have.
Kinda sad that actually made my day

[JaddziaDax]

Funny I sometimes ask if people know who Koopiskeva is and they ask me "who?"

[Ileia]

"No, ma'am, I don't know what a Koopiskeva is. So, did you want soup or salad?"

[Kitsuner]

"What is the soupiskeva of the day?"

[Infinity Squared]

"Or would you like a koupis kevab instead?"

Fame... hmm... Australia being, well, "smaller" population wise to countries in the northern hemisphere, it's easier to get remembered. However, more often than not, any perceived "fame" I might have had was due to me being an AMV coordinator/panelist. It's only when I show my vid in a panel that people go, "oh, so that's the dude that made that vid". Hasn't really worked the other way around though I've had people stop me on my out of a convention theatre to talk to me, usually along the lines of, "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU SHOW MY VIDEO ON THE MAIN SHOW?!!!"

So yeah... fame has its price.
