    I am getting a little annoyed with Equestria Daily either taking an eternity to feature my stuff or just snobbing me in favour of what I think is average work in comparison to my own. This includes PMVs, my school presentation and my Fanfiction reading of Spiderses.

    I have no idea how his selection process works. I don't know if my stuff is eventually to show up eventually or he just doesn't think I'm good enough. Or hates over edited videos (But if I can't over edit them, there no point as video editing is my hopeful career).

    I have submitted heaps of stuff to him that I have worked hard on and he has seemed to reject it in favour of things that are average. But maybe my stuff is average too and I am blind by my own artistic biased towards myself.

    When I submitted my Pinkie's Lie video, he put it up in I think only two days saying in the main post. "Someone made a Pinkie's Lie PMV, I love that song".
    Then my next one Positive Qualities, which was my most ambitious to date with difficult editing that nearly drove me insane was not feature after a week. Then I made a cool looking but a bit lazier video for another song called Winter Wrap Up (Electropop Remix). I sent Sethisto another message asking if he would ever feature these videos and he replied with.

    "I'll post them up tomorrow, but I have to admit, the constant color changes and warping is really...annoying in a way :p"

    So he did he posted both videos within the next two days. So he evidently does have a problem with over edited videos and prefers the, in my opinion boring clip shows.

    Then I read the comments on them and they were 80% very positive, 20% meh it was okay, too overedited and crazy.

    So since then I have asked him to feature my The Brony Blog 3 times, once when the site looked crap and then after I made it look better, then again after I had a lot more content on it. No response.

    Then I sent him readings of chapters of Spiderses chapter 1-5 nearly daily and was surprised when he replied to let me know I forgot the link on the first one. I thought wow he is paying attention, he is interested in Spiderses readings. But to this day about 2 weeks later they have never been featured and others have.

    Then I asked him to feature My Pinkie Pie PMV and he told me he added it to the queue. Okay so it will be up eventually, but this was a week ago.

    Then I submitted My Little Pony School presentation. no response or feature for several days now.

    I am getting self concious because of this. Is the huge amount of work I am contributing to the community not good enough to even receive a mention on a nightly roundup? Is Sethisto just picky in a way that isn't in my favour? Are my video glitches caused by Youtube sabotaging getting featured?

    I don't know. But I just wanted to ask for a favour from anypony who is a fan of my work.
    Let Sethisto know you love me and what I have done for the community. Email him and say I am awesome, let him know I am far from the bottom of the brony foodchain and that my contribution to the community is good (I hope) and frequent.

    I am far from done with this fandom and have 4 video ideas in my head right now including a PMV of Fluttershy's Lament. A positive Brony Documentary and an Abridged episode.

    Sethisto can't ignore my dedication FOREVER!

    I will prove I am the most insane over the top brony ever, if it kills me!

    I deserve my recognition.

    (Unless my work sucks and I am biased towards myself)

    You're not the only one! My work hardly gets much feedback. I'm starting to wonder if I'm not expanding well enough.

    I'll help, I shall send emails every hour on the hour until your stuff shows up. He can't ignore you forever. Maybe he just gets over run with submissions and can't decide what to put up.

    I like your work, my favorite is the positive qualities video.

    As of now, I don't have anything worth posting to a site like Equstria Daily.

    @Pixel lol, don't over do it. I don't want him to block me out of annoyance.

    @ Frank, maybe I submit too frequently and should give time for other bronies like you to have their chance.

    Fine, If you insist, I won't bother he as much.

    But I will send something like- Hey, have you seen this awesome video. Setzertrancer has a lot of cool stuff on his channel and has the awesome brony blog. Maybe some of his stuff could be put up on your site.

    ^ Is that acceptable?

    Be persuasive, just don't bother him with too many messages, especially if he is busier then I can imagine. Just float my name out there more and he may begin to realise I'm one of the big diamond dog bronies out there.

    Be patient with him. If he doesn't reply and/or post stuff on the blog in the coming weeks, then email him mentioning that you email him earlier, yet he never replied. Don't go off on a rant, okay? Much of your work is brilliant, and if he doesn't like it, ask him why.

    That's assuming you have a bit on dA.
