Festivids! Yay! And whatnot...
So excited for 
festivids going live! - but also with a slight feeling of...I don't know what, disappointment? (In myself.) Nervousness?
I got so used to the fest sparking creativity in me and being smooth sailing every time that I don't think I was prepared for how much of a slog it was this year. Not the fault of the request in any way, just me being bogged down in life - have been so insanely busy over the last 6 months it's unreal - and lacking any real inspiration.
Got my assignment in by the skin of my teeth, and it's better than I thought it was going to be at one point - was this close to scrapping the whole thing and having to default a few weeks ago - but I was never that happy with the song choice and I'm not sure what my recipient will think of it. *gnaws fingernails* I don't think it's technically awful, just...yeah. Can't really say any more at this point! Hope they like it.
And this is the first year since the first exchange that I haven't managed to get a Treat in. There's one I really, really wanted to make as well, but again, inspiration failed to strike and the whole thing fell apart on the timeline. Not meant to be, I suppose!
But still, can't wait to see all the vids - definitely one of my fandom highlights of the year.
(And a note to my Festividder just in case you're lurking around - unless golive happens in the next half hour, I'm probably not going to see your vid until tomorrow now. So not ignoring your gift, just haven't seen it yet! But can't wait to do so.)
