Yes, to Roccon you listen. ;) We all know you've put a lot of work into it. Perhaps me more than anyone. It's just that there were some weird vibes early on that some seem unwilling to forget, and nowadays, it's almost always technical details that can hold something back from its true, 100% potential. (especially at FE.org) I can almost guarantee that, even if there was a huge disclaimer beforehand explaining the situation, tons of people would still say 'what's up with the AOTC footage?' Remember the kerfuffle with the workprint version, and how hard we tried to make people understand? Well, some people, if they didn't know beforehand, would be turned off after downloading 7.67 GB and seeing a technical issue, even if it couldn't be helped.
Just trying to be realistic, not hurtful. I like your work and am impressed that your first edit is such an ambitious one! I just think about the last few years of my fanedit fandom and having watched dozens and dozens of other ones and thinking how they relate together, y'know? :)
