I know I didn't really do much with the amv community, and not much people notice me, I think of myself rn as a dweller in the dark of the AMV community and I need to build my skills up too escape and what not and stuff. But I still try my best to interact and connect, but I still don't feel like I fully fit in. I know I will one day, but right now I want to be a chatter box and talk about the year and my plans for 2026. So at the start of the year I was gaining a lot of attention and followers within abt 1 or 2 months I had gained 100 more followers. I was mainly in the animation buisness and wanting to continue in it. Towards march and feb I began something called the dark, a series that I was making and planning. I had a lot of people helping out and excited for it. I released the 1st episode on March 3rd 4 pm aest, and it BLEW UP! Even tho it was barely anything people still liked it! Then I started noticing the AMV community. "woag, these people are coool" So I tried one for myself, it went horribly wrong! Skip a few months and thats when scratch went off the rails, so many scratchers were leaving and turning on each other in the animation community! I knew that I needed to get away or else I would leave this site, thats when I was reminded of the AMV community. People weren't turning on eachother, the worst thing they were doing was giving constructive critisim! I wanted to dive right in and get started right away! Thats when I was learning everything you could possibly know, I even started a M.A.P which is almost DONE! I was saved. All I want to say is: This year would have been a disaster if it wasn't for the AMV community. It was my refuge because my family was struggiling with getting our old house sold and a whole legal court thing with the people who made it etc. I wanna improve and I am starting to get a little noticed and improving. I hope that 2026 will be a great year for amver and bring the animation community back to life! -Spooder
