Tell me what Fan edits are really good.

This will probably be the last thing I say as a reply, because you’re being very negative toward everybody and I think it’s very immature that you seem to think your edit is so perfect you’re unwilling to check out any others, BUT I’m going to give you some examples of fanedits that are the cream of the crop in my opinion:

  • Adywan’s A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back Revisited (which are both on another level to any other fan edit to date)
  • HAL 9000’s Star Wars prequels (Cloak of Deception, The Approaching Storm, Labyrinth of Evil)
  • L8wrtr’s Star Wars prequels (whose titles escape me at the moment)
  • Uncanny Antman’s Terminator 3: The Coming Storm
  • Spence’s Frank Herbert’s Dune (movie edit of the 2000 SciFi channel miniseries)
  • TM2YC’s Star Trek: Vengeance (edit of Star Trek Into Darkness)
  • Various Hobbit edits are good (Maple Films, l8wrtr, Spence)

And SO many others. That’s just what comes to mind that I’ve personally seen. Spend some time browsing through IFDb (the fanedit database on fanedit.org), organize them by rating (both directions) to see what edits people have responded to positively for examples of what to do and negatively for examples of what not to do.

If you made these for yourself and you’re satisfied with them, then great. But if you want to share them with an established community you have to spend some time acclimating yourself with the community to see what people’s expectations are. If the expectations beyond what you are willing to deal with, that’s fine, but don’t lash out at people in the community for expecting the same shit from you they expect from everyone else.

And maybe be a little more respectful in the future and open to advice and criticism.
