Winners are up over at AVA - and we are now on Summer Hiatus until the beginning of September.

  ought to check out Round 9 awards again too, I stupidly forgot to upload a couple of awards and found them missing. Sorry guys and congrats on Rd10. 

 Basically I'm going to have a long hard think about 'where next' for the competition.  I started when I had the luxury of no job  but now it eats into my free time and prevents me from working on my vid & art projects (for what they are worth). Plus there are only so many vids (especially in some fandoms)  you can watch each month without all of it becoming a huge blur, quite honestly  the participants deserve better than that.    At the moment I feel we will have two more rounds and then the BOTB - which may be the final event.    We shall see.   




I'm super excited y'all about Dr Horrible's Sing-along-Blog.   There's a real zippy trailer that is awesome (vimeo - the quality is good!) , a  myspace page & facebook for those inclined, and now a prequel online comic with back history on Captain Hammer which is just hi-larious.    Looks as if the Whedon siblings have cornered the market on talent.   I'm sure many of you have picked this up on the flist but if not check out Joss post here where he gives details of when the show will be streamed online.   

I'll be making some icon and perhaps banners to pimp this about.  Spread the word!

May I just say that I'd be very sad if AVA wouldn't go on? I find your awards to be one of the few who actually do not just award some nice graphics to friends but really do care about the quality of vids. I regularly check out the winners because I can be sure the vids are gonna be awesome :)

Well thanks very much for saying so. It's good to get feedback on the process.

I always hope that it's seen as an award site where there is 'competition' and that really good vids are recognised. I can't see me stopping altogether - and perhaps I'll even widen the fandom base. I just don't want to be going through the motions every month or so.

You could always just run it with less frequency. People should understand how time consuming such a thing can become, especially when it's actually well done.

That will definitely feature in the changes - also it doesn't become a chore.

Ooh, didn't realise that the review for NDF had been up for a while! Sorry about that, and thank you so much for the amazing review! You're the best. *huggles*

You're welcome - it was an extraordinary vid :)

Thanks so much for the awards Andrea! I'm really glad you liked Damaged so much. And thanks for the added awards and review for Break as well! I think I'm now tapped out when it comes to eligible vids but with luck I'll be able to squeeze another in soon.

I can understand the need to revamp the site. I moved the FNVAs to a seasonal format because it just got too tiring to deal with the awards every month.

Damaged was great DC, and yeah sorry about those awards that went AWOL last round. And I hope you join us again soon.

I think it's only logical to change the site - That way I will still want to do it and will get a chance to do 'my things' too.
