RANDOM OT (not really, it has to do with the JY vid)

Does anyone know how to convert wmv, mpg, avi, etc files into a format that iMovie will accept?

I have real player SP and it comes with a converter that changes files to ipod format, I don't know if that will work though...

Okay...
well, I'll try something out once I figure out what's wrong with my Rhapsody subscription :/

I love it!!! That is just so adorable!

Also, quick note from me: due to very minimal interest in my latest chapters, I intend to take a brief hiatus on my story for the next few weeks. After the Nikola episode on December 18th, I plan to resume posting. [The entire plan may be subject to change at any point.]

Aww.

Just remember that not everyone who reads reviews all the time.
Personally, I always try to actually give feedback, so that you can tell I actually read it from the review; and if RL is being evil, I'm probably to tired to do that coherently.

Since I'm actually on earlier in the day I'm gonna go leave a review now.
I also know that some people on fanfic are wary of WIPs because a lot of us have gotten really into a story and then had the author lose interest. That can be really disappointing, and some people just wait for things to finish before reading them.

Spacing your updates out a little more is probably a good idea, if you want more reviews. I know that personally if I come back to a story and find multiple new chapters, I'll only review the last one.

I hope you keep going with this story, we all need more Niko goodness, and you're really good at writing it.

Thanks so much for that perspective! And I realize my last post made me sound like an angry review-monger, which is really not what I intended at all. It just seems that readership is tapering off lately and, since it seems like a busy time for many people, I thought I'd hold off for a few weeks until people have more time for an update. I realize reading my fic isn't exactly high on peoples' lists of priorities. I absolutely will finish the story, though, whether or not many are reading.

OK, so this is getting really OT

I totally sympathize with the need for feedback! To me you came across as someone who really wasn't sure how their story was being received. I've only written a few things, and only one is up anywhere, but I know that when you don't here from other people it can be really discouraging. Its not like RL where you can get a feel for things from seeing another person's body language when they say hi to you or whatever.

I try to find a good balance between giving feedback and info in reviews and simply letting an author know I'm still following, but sometimes it can be difficult. I don't want to leave a review that just says 'cool!' or 'awesome', because it tells you nothing; but I want to review often enough let you know that I'm reading. Its hard to do both if I'm too braindead to write a coherent review.

I'm sad to hear that but I understand your point of view.
Personnaly, reading fic' IS high on my list of priorities, 'cause it's like my little "dream moment" of the day, when I come home after work, it helps relax and not think about the events of the day...But it's cool that you're gonna finish it...otherwise I'll hunt you


Back on topic : I really miss Nikola...I'm looking forward to X-mas

[ellymelly]

If its actually airing on Christmas that would be neat.
But I heard something about a hiatus? I guess I should go check that out, see when its actually going to air.


EDIT: found this on one of the other threads, looks like its a little to late for those of us in the US to do a 25 day count down.
