Never tell me the odds.

My odds so far...
AX00 - Attempted to enter, only to discover my capture card didn't have the ability to output to video tape.
Mindwarp's On-line contest Spring 01 - Sent in my Drama video. Same one I entered to AX. It won best drama! Ofcourse few people still saw it. However I figured if it could win Mindwarps contest it should make it to the finals at AX atleast.
AX01 - After much struggling with a new capture card I was able to output my videos, and sent them in. They didn't make the finals, and so where again not shown.
Shoujo Con 01 - Sent in a video (not one of my best, but a medium level one that was fun to work on and fit the theme), it was shown! Yeah!
Yaoi Con 01 - Sent in the same video I sent to Shoujo Con. It was shown, and even won an award!
Ani-Magic 01 - I had plans to enter this contest. However I ended up running the contest. Two of my video where shown during exhibition, however by that time there was only 6 people in the room.
AWA7 01 - Sent my video to the Master contest, and it was also shown at the convention! Didn't win anything, but who cares, atleast it was shown.
Katsucon 02 - I made a brand new video, specifically for Katsucon. I was flying across the country to this convention. Sadly the mail decided to lose my tape. I rushed them a tape and was promised it would atleast be shown in overflow. Which didn't happen. (I was very upset after all the money spent to the convention, and the contest was badly run as well. The convention head tried to make it up to me, offering me free admission next year, but that's nothing compaired to the cost it would take to fly out there again to use the free admission.)
PortConMaine 02 - After meeting wonderful people on the East coast, I was asked to submit to Port COn Maine's AMV contest. That they could use the entries. So I sent my tape off early and packaged well this time. Yet again the Post Office lost my entry.
Fanime 02 - Sent the tape off at the same time as PortCon, and now I cross my fingers and hope they received it. But I haven't heard back from them yet.
10 contests
Shown in 4 of the 10 so far.
Not shown at all in 4 of the 10 as well.
Not very good odds. - Quote of the Day 2002-04-08 07:20:39 "I'm only wearing black until they come up with a darker color."

I've been very patient...or atleast I've tried to be. However those who have seen me in Chat have heard me bitch and complain.
What am I complaining about this time? Well that at Katsucon I gave out 25 CDs to AMV creators, who most promised me that they would look at my stuff. Specifically because they were not shown at the convention. (I also had videos shown at Ani-Magic where several AMV creators also were and who promised to give me reviews as well, didn't receive any then). I'm just getting sick of waiting, and really wondering why I bother to make the CDs if I get no feedback.
I understand writing a review can take awhile. I'm not looking for a huge essay, just post here if you must a few words that yes you saw the CD and what you thought of the videos. So far I must thank Iserlohn because he's actually given me a review. Vic and him both have given me short feedback via chat, which is all I'm looking for. (Scott you've already informed me about your computer problems, so your exempt for now.)
Usually when I state stuff like this, people then say they will review my stuff. However I have no where currently to host my videos so I must rely on handing out CDs to people, and then relying on those people to give me some feedback. So far this has failed for the most part.
Oh and mine were not the only CDs handed out. I've tried to review a few things from each CD already. (I know I got to Vic's, Iserlohn's, Scott's and MeriC's). Oh MeriC I haven't checked recently but please put up info for the Utena / Castles in the Sky video so I can give a review on it.
Enough rambling. Just trying to get a torch lit under some of you people. So if nothing else just post here that you saw the CD and a few short words of what you thought. Thank you!
