Never Underestimate Twilighters

December 3rd, 2008 at 4:48 pm by --KALEB NATION--

As usual, I severely underestimated Twilight fans.

On my Youtube channel, I started a contest to win some of the Twilight movie cast autographs I got at the premiere, and teamed up with Twicon‘s people to give away a signed book. I expected about… 150 entries?

At this moment, it’s the #3 most discussed video on Youtube, for the second day in a row, with 16 other honors. It’s been viewed 20,000 times and commented 3,800+ times in just 24 hours.

Lesson learned: never underestimate Twilighters.

Other lesson learned: get more sleep, in case 18,000 people randomly decide to watch you.

Third lesson learned: only Hank Green can talk as fast as Hank Green without becoming partially unintelligible.

    Aha! I knew the way you were talking reminded me of someone! It was Hank Green, of course, I should have known...
  • Oh wow. I saw that video. Which is what led me here actually. So not only did you ace on a contest, but free publicity =) !

    And is it ridiculous that I read your last statement and then tried to read it back to myself as Hank Green would? (failed miserably by the by)
  • Madison
    Can I enter here? IF so then I enter! (LOL)
  • 150?! r u kidding me?! omg, K.

    You're going to need a really big hat to draw out the names of the winners. And lots of paper/ink to print them. Or you can do it on the computer, but honestly I think you could have a lot of fun making a video of yourself diving into a massive hat-shaped box to pull out a few tiny slips of paper... (Incidentally, I haven't actually entered the contest.)

    And I just was thinking-- Do you regret putting your bloopers in now that tons of people have watched? :D
  • beckysue
    Oh dear Kaleb, when will you learn? Twilighters are made of awesome, no?
  • Allis
    Seriously? You expected only 150 entries? Give us more credit than that, Kaleb. When we twilighters band together, we can accomplish anything!

    But wow, I'd hate to have to count all of those entries... that's going to take weeks!!
  • Loony_Lovegood
    That reminds me! I forgot to enter 3 times today! =]
  • Oh man now I feel guilty as 9 of those video entries are mine >.< I'm sorry to make you count all of these Kaleb but hey you did learn a good lesson!
  • Imelda
    Oh my, that's a lot of entries. Still, better to be overly successful than fail miserably, right? Maybe ...
  • Alice Cullen
    Wow, I can't believe that you underestimated the power of Twilight! Well, lesson learned, Twilighters can do ANYTHING! :):):):):)
  • HBwriter
    Seriously Kaleb, how could you only expect that many entrys?!
    Never underestimate the fanbase, NEVER! ;-)
  • You were *seriously* expecting only 150 entries? Kaleb, Kaleb... I thought you'd have learned by now what Twilighters are capable of! ;)
