Fannish question and things

Um ... fannish etiquette question for the room. I just received a (really lovely) comment on one of my older stories, and looking back on it, I realized that I never answered a lot of the feedback on that story, going back to spring 2007.

What is a conscientious fan to do? I certainly don't want to leave the new comment unanswered, but I'm trying to figure out if it's less polite to answer one comment without answering them all, or to send feedback for comments that people left *two years ago*, some of whom have probably moved on to other fandoms by now ...

In other news, purimgifts is open for sign-ups! I thought this looked terribly fun last year, but had too many other fannish commitments to manage it. This year, I'm eyeing it with interest; it's a multi-fandom, ficfest gift-a-thon. Explanation and rules post here; signups are here.

The podfic of my story "Even Bonnie and Clyde Had Off Days" is now available as a podbook made by cybel from winkingstar's recording. People are so kind. :)

Wiseguy fanvid: "Closer to Fine"

Obsessed? Me? No, of course not. I wrote and then deleted a much longer introduction to this vid, because really, who wants to listen to the vidder yakking on and on? I'm drawn to the connections between the main characters, and the ways that they cling to their convictions and beliefs and humanity in the face of a dark and corrupt world; that's what this is about.

Song: Closer to Fine
Artist: Indigo Girls
Fandom: Wiseguy
Footage/Spoilers: Contains clips from seasons 1-3; minor spoilers but no major ones (at least none that should be recognizable out of context)
Notes: Thank you very much to gnine and greyias for beta'ing this for me despite not having seen the series!

As usual, please let me know of any problems with downloading or playback.
