Couldn’t find a similar thread so I made my own.
Ever since I joined the site, I kept my age hidden. I was the youngest member of the site for a long time but I just couldn’t reveal it, because I had this fear that I wouldn’t be accepted here.
Seeing the 11-year-old son of @"Sinbad", @"WMS1808", be accepted with open arms in his own BttF edit thread, has encouraged me to finally reveal my age to you all.
I am actually 16 years old, and I joined the site when I was 12. I’ve always had an interest in film, and I’ve always had the dream of becoming a successful filmmaker. Which is why I’m so glad I discovered fanedits.
Back in 2013, when I was in a sailing camp, there was a “Film Room” used to spend time and entertain during Lunch Breaks. They showed the whole Matrix trilogy. Interested in the movies (especially the first one), I researched about the Matrix from my phone, and after some searches, I discovered something that, I’m not exaggerating, changed my life. CBB’s Matrix Dezionized.
This was my introduction to fanedits. After discovering this edit, I browsed IFDB in enthusiasm. I found many edits of Spider-Man 3, Superman II, not to mention Star Wars... I was hooked. Eventually I discovered the main site, fanedit.org, and I joined immediately. Ever since then, I’ve been on an amazing journey of fanedits, meeting fantastic people.
I’ve learned so much since then. I learned more and more about editing, my critical thinking skills developed (even though I’m still developing, I’m still much stronger than many others my age), I matured (though I am still a lot more childish than others my age) and I even successfully released a few edits, among many others that I couldn’t (remember Web of Spider-Man, my first edit? I made that in Windows Movie Maker and I was so bummed when it got disapproved I cancelled the whole thing)
All I can say is, thank you everyone, for everything. I guess this is a new era for me.
Admins, fellow faneditors and community members, if any of you feel like I have decieved you about how old I am, I’m deeply sorry, because it wasn’t my intention at all. I just never had the courage to tell people until now.
I know this possibly won’t make much of a difference to you guys, but it does to me. My hope now is that I can continue to be accepted and encouraged in this wonderful community.
Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year to all!
