I just got so much out of the con I'm going to be babbling for months.
There is no bad there :-D
I think the other thing I took away from the con was how skilled it is to be able to pitch successfully to the Vividcon audience.
Right - some people do put a lot of thought into what they submit to a particular vidshow and why and what the blurb is and what to put in the vid because of all that. Sometimes you want something really accessible (like my premiere this year), sometimes you want something they might not've seen otherwise, sometimes it's what you want to see on the big screen for the sake of, or sometimes it's just whatever you've finished around deadline time that seems as good a choice to submit as any. And every year there are surprise hits and ones that we are surprised to hear weren't hits. You just never know. It's not a science, you're right, but there are certainly enough patterns in it that we can talk about it like this. Yay for that!
