Just setting up a thread where people can post feedback on the trailers which you can access from this thread .And I'll kick things off: Lynn, you have outdone yourself with the BNA trailers for CC and Roger! These are amazing. I so love the idea of giving brief previews of all their stories, and also including reader reviews. Just wonderful!  Wendy

Yeah, what Wendy said. You're both doing a wonderful job, Pel and Lynn. Those trailers are amazing and I'm enjoying each one. The idea for authors is great! I love the bits of feedback that come back in it. And I saw YUTS... fantastic! Even though I haven't read the story *yet*, but I'm working on that as we speak. Seems wonderful too! Keep them coming, Pel and Lynn!  Saskia

Just chiming in... I'm loving all of these. Okay, so I was traumatized by the Masques trailer but that's Labby's fault, really <g> Um, these are great! Pel & Lynn I'm amazed at your talents -- I can barely figure out how to *play* these things, let alone make them...  Looking forward to seeing the next one, whenever it may arrive PJ

Well, just caught up with most of these - I'm seriously impressed with that flashing 'new' icon, btw. Very handy. <g> As for the trailers...  I can't imagine having the patience and sheer talent to do this kind of work. It's incredible. Thank you both! LabRat

Whoa!! Finally managed to watch the YUTS trailer, Lynn - and it's excellent!!  If you and Pel can do one a day from here on (including today), you'll have all of them up by the day voting starts!  Wendy

Wow, wow, wow. These are wonderful, especially the fantastic composite trailers for the BNAs. I love those most, although the Yesterday one was pretty darn good, too.  I'm with Labby. Give us more of these, as soon as you can. I can't begin to imagine how much work goes into these, but wow are they worth it. Hazel

Thanks, all for the great feedback.
Sorry to say that a most vile stomach flu has got me in its grips. It kindly waited until after the Best Picture Oscar was awarded last night but it doesn't look as if it's going anywhere soon.
So my work on pretty much anything other than keeping myself sane is on hold for a bit
I'm sure that Pel is ready to dazzle us all, though. I'm waiting (semi) patiently <g>.

Just an Idea, but when you do the one for Yellow Fever the Matchbox 20 song that goes "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell" it's a total paranoia song that totally fits that story.

I'm just going to add my two cents here, although Lynn knows what I think it about her latest. The choice of scenes and music for "Yesterday, Upon the Stair" is plain brilliance. I could not fathom how you were going to do this trailer - I was almost "glad" it wasn't me <g>, since I had noe idea yet on how this could be done - so instead of focusing entirely on the A-plot - which was very difficult finding images for - you focus on the theme. Looking back at the past and your mistakes, and see where it will take you and how you can work it out. Great job, Lynn!!! As for this: Just an Idea, but when you do the one for Yellow Fever the Matchbox 20 song that goes "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell" it's a total paranoia song that totally fits that story. Now there's a song that's been playing frequently in my room. Yes, I'm the one who's making the trailer for Yellow Fever. And you're right, the lyrics would fit. But after reading the story for the seventh time (!), I knew I needed something that was a little "dark", something slow and... well, I figured I'd know what I wanted when I heard *the* song that would fit. <g> I actually started on the trailer back in December, but when I got sick and got "behind schedule", it got a little postponed. I'm finished with it now, though, so it looks like we'll have to save Matchbox Twenty for another time If I had to do Yellow Fever all over again, I'd probably hang myself before the end of the weekend. <g> Lots to do. Now I'm all set for "When Larry Met Charlie." Thanks for making suggestions - it's very much appreciated, so keep them coming! Pelican

WooHoo!!!!
Sara's BNA trailer - in a word - AWESOME!!
Love it, Pel. Love the music. Very catchy, but of course now I'll be singing it all the rest of the day <g>.
So very very good. And now I will only say More.
