This is fantastic! It's extremely well-written, interesting, and just AMAZING. Your love and appreciation of nerdfighteria really comes through. The next time somebody asks me what a nerdfighter is, I'm just going to send them this video.

I wrote a paper about why we feel like we know the youtubers we watch for my social psych class. You've inspired me to make a video about that. It may take me a while though because I have to go through the paper and pick out what's relevant and what's only...

@tallatstarbucks :333333 Thanks so much, Jessie! :]

[TeamHarris916]

I am normally turned off by longer videos, but you held my attention and entertained me the entire time.

[Cophenalypse]

@TeamHarris916 I'm really glad it kept your attention. That was kind of my fear, that it was too long, but I'm glad everyone's gotten through it and liked it. <333

Awesome paper. It was fun to hear and I'm sure it was fun to write, despite how much time I suspect you put in to it. This year I wrote a paper that touched on a few of the same things, my paper being about why Harry Potter-influenced communities are so driven to decrease worldsuck.

Questions:

1. What is your favorite T-shirt?

2. Do you prefer to see movies in theaters or on DVD?

[SweetAsAStrawberry]

I like this :) And I like things, so I shall ask questions:

1) Favourite Harry Potter character

2) If you could only read one book for the rest of your life which would it be?

@Cophenalypse That was a lot it actually, that I wasn't sure if it was a quote or not. But yeah, it goes back and forth.

[Cophenalypse]

@iliveonplanetspace <3 THANK YOU RON!

[Cophenalypse]

@themunchkym Thanks so much. <333

[Cophenalypse]

@uberwren I think that's actually true, that Harry Potter is the most profitable, but I think at the time of the quote Star Wars was the most profitable.

Glad you liked it. <3

[uberwren]

Really great essay. The only thing I would question though is your bit about Star Wars being the most profitable media franchise in history thus far. When I was doing my research for my Harry Potter paper (which I am not thoroughly inspired to share with the WORLD thanks to you and your video) I was getting numbers that would indicate that perhaps HP has made more money than Star Wars. I'm not sure though.

Questions to come when I think of them.
