User blog:DJ Spenstar/The wiki from Spenny's eyes: a blog

Others have done these "wiki status" blogs before, and so, what the heck, right? Here's a look at the wiki through the eyes of me, Spenny.

The two most recent chapters of Total Drama Tropics sent the story, and all of its characters and readers, on a roller coaster ride. In some moments, it even feels a bit like TDInfinity, what with a very violent scene and the talk of death involved. I have to admit that I didn't like the most recent TDT chapter, most notably because of Patsy's strange elimination. I hope Sprink keeps his promise of explaining it sometime in the future. As of now, things look bleak for pretty much every character left in the game. One of the things I'd love to see here is more of Audrey II in the future. She is currently my favorite character despite her minorness, because she hits home for me. My next faves are Creigh, Yancy, and Sky Lynn. They are all epic. I hope Dante changes for the better because of what happened, and that he wins to pay for his surgery. T_T I like Sebastian a lot less since my last rate of the TDT characters. He is a horrid analyst, and often jumps to conclusions. Don't get me wrong, I still think TAU's epic, but Sebastian, not so much anymore.

Total Drama Craziness ended recently, hitting a major milestone at the end. This seems to be a trend with new authors and their first stories. In my case, it was having the first couple in the final 2. Sprink went with two characters who already knew each other as the final 2. Shane chose someone who returned to the game after her elimination as the winner, a surefire first for the wiki. Taking that out of consideration, Shane's writing is epic, albeit confusing at times, and a pleasure to read. He has the uniqueness of being really light in a wiki that harbors Total Drama Infinity and the aforementioned TDT. Shane, never give that up, ever. Your epicness would be wasted if you chose to go dark with a competition fic. I really look forward to Total Drama: The Production.

Total Drama All-Stars time. Recently, my favorite character on the entire wiki, Niles got eliminated when he gave up his immunity to save Susan. While Niles' elimination saddens me deeply, I'm glad Niles was redeemed in the eyes of Sprinklemist, a former Niles hater. I'm also glad that SusanXNiles got its victory, judging by the goodbye. I really hope Niles ends up in the jury. Right now I want either Susan, Julio, or Jacob to win. I don't like Lequisha or Jocelyn at all, and Nathanial's getting on my nerves. Nalyd is a great writer, and his strategy emphasis is one-of-a-kind here, combined with his great cast of characters. Keep on rockin the chappys, Renny!

I have to admit, I haven't been following Return to Total Drama Action since Quinn's elimination, but I read the aftermath, and I loved it! I may or may not read over the old RTDA chapters, but I know I'll read the new ones as they come out. TDIwriter, you're truly epic, and I hope you know that! =)

Now I think I'll cover this season of the IRC Camps, a giant competition roleplay. I play the character Spenny, and right now we're down to the top 10, with two teams of five. My team, the Adventurers, recovered from a steep losing streak with two consecutive wins, and I hope that continues until the merge. I have my heart set on winning this, and I have a pretty good chance if I keep up what I've been doing! For more information, check out The IRC Camps Wiki.

This is a shout-out to my old friend, quite literally, Gideon. I gotta say, you 100% deserve time in the spotlight right about now. You're a truly awesome person, and you taught me a lot about Opera (through talk-page chats) that truly amazed me. Not to mention, that you are a fantastic writer. Legacy is truly one-of-a-kind, the writing style is unlike any other I've seen outside of professional books. I look forward to TDI-G&S, and other awesome things you have in store for the wiki community.

Another shout-out to Gigi, an old friend in the figurative sense. Gigi, you're truly epic, whether you realize it or not. And that's not just because Life After Lies, your work, is my favorite story on the entire wiki. You're also an awesome friend and a great person! ^-^ It's no lie that the wiki's a better place with you around! (of course, that also goes for every other user I mentioned, and several others I forgot to, LOL)

I think I'll end in a conceited way by talking about my current work, Total Drama: The Works. Doing a light fic after going through TDInfinity is awesome, it's so much easier and so much more fun to write than darkness was/ever will be, IMO. One thing I ask of you, the readers, is to let me know if a character you like isn't getting much screen time at all, as I'm going for a nice balance this time around. (Sprink said that TDInsanity had that problem, so, yeah) So far, I think I figured out which characters I need to focus on more next Friday night when I write the chapter, so, yeah.

That concludes this epic blog! See ya around! =D -- D J   Spen  star!  22:24, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
