Year 2 Begins
My blog is up! :D -- Sunshineandravioli- Legendary  Pixie!   RAVIOLI EVERYWHERE!  00:15, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I'm finished with Chapter 18 but I don't have a beta anymore. Could you run it through a grammar/spellcheck through Doc Sharing on FF.net and then send it back to me with your corrections? Please and thank you! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  19:05, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Okay then! Please to be correcting my embarrasing mistakes! xD The formatting in the email showed up alright for me (as in the italics and all) but if you need it sent as an actual file, let me know. You can just send it back with your corrections already plugged in, if that's okay. Thank you! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  22:51, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Okie dokie! I'll be waiting! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  04:44, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to know how much progress you've made. I hope I didn't make a lot of grammar/spelling mistakes this time around. ^_^;;;; -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  16:20, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, cool! Thank you! I can't wait. -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  18:06, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Congrats on making an archive, but that's not why I'm messaging you again. I read a comment on Lalainee's blog post about her crying at movies and you said you cried while writing Legacy and the Izzy chapter of Fake Souls. I hope this doesn't get you on the verge of tears, but which scene(s) in Legacy made you cry? Don't tell me about the Izzy chapter yet; I haven't read it yet. I really hope you answer this question. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 16:42, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Does this mean I finally get to see part of my steamy Duncan scene? (Yes, my Duncan scene. I don't care who else it's intended for! It's mine! XDD) -- Sunshineandravioli- Legendary  Pixie!   RAVIOLI EVERYWHERE!  20:35, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Piecemeal, please! That way I can edit as I go along. And don't worry! I never really liked how the first few paragraphs turned out, anyway. It's more the ending (the last few paragraphs) that I like, and that has its problems, too. Can't wait! :D -- <font color="#808080">I sing the song <font color="#c0c0c0">of the fading  <font color="#800080">silver star...  05:56, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! BTW, I left a little support comment for your story on the ballot that clearly lives up to what proper thanks you gave me. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 21:34, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Gideon, I need help! My talk page is in formatting heck! How do I change it back to the way it was normally formatted? Please answer! I want my talk page back to normal! D: Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 23:40, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

I have two things to tell you. One, what are Hope Diamonds? And second, even though you'll disagree, I think that you should make a sequel to CatVoDespair; I betcha that CatVoDoom would be very epic! :D Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 02:29, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, umm, Gideon? I noticed a little convo between you and Gigi and, I wondered... has she finished drafting out Ch. 18? If so, I'm going to dance all around my room; heh, that, and ask you if the chapter's very dark and dramatic. Y'know I looove stories like that. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 19:35, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

Black Swan?
Hey, uhh, Gideon? I have a cinematic question for you: have you seen the movie Black Swan? If so, what would be your review? Don't worry, I love movie reviews and I can give you my review, as well. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 18:54, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, well, I did and, now this is just me... Black Swan was absolutely, positively, no-doubt the best live action film these teenage eyes have watched! Natalie Portman definietly did an excellent job in this movie, and, if your DW (my best blessings to her from Crystal) is interested in getting this for DVD, this is the basic premise of the movie:

Young obsessive-compulsive ballet dancer Nina Sayers has been chosen for the lead in a modern interpertation of Swan Lake, wherein the White Swan needs love to break her curse, but her true love is seduced and in love with her sensual and guile twin the Black Swan (hence the movie title) and the White Swan kills herself, thus finding freedom. Now, Nina lives a very restricted life with her overbearring mother and is a rather frail and frigid person who hungers perfection, and her ballet instructor Thomas reprimands her constantly to loose herself in the Black Swan role, which her understudy/alternate Lily is better at. As the big night fastly approaches, Nina begins to have wild hallucinations and is so paranoid, she believes Lily is determinded to take the role away from her. As the rivalry becomes a bizzare and twisted friendship, Nina's grip on reality begins to collapse into ruin.

Now, in my opinion, the plot it very interesting; sure, the premise seemed flimsy to me at first, but understanding how much restriction and pressure is put on this young aspiring prima ballerina, I would understand how she would go crazy. My dearest mother always says, "Nobody's perfect; when we try to be, we go crazy." And Nina certainly lives proof of that.

Signing off now, my dearest and earnest blessings to Ms. DW and you can tell her about this movie if you like. Ta-ta! :) Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 03:45, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

I really don't know how I missed three out of four of your blog posts. I did happen to catch the "ripped from the headlines" post, though I didn't really have anything to say when thinking of a comment (although now I do feel like mentioning that I like that you tried to expand on the personality and stereotype that were already given to Ezekiel rather than giving him a completely new personality like most authors seem to do.) I'll be checking up on the other blog posts soon and probably leaving comments on all three. Freefalling Lilacs 06:45, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

I was on LandryC's talk page (he and I know each other because we're both fans of Big Time Rush) and I noticed you saying you recently turned 51. Happy birthday, Gid! Out of curiosity, and pardon me for asking, but you mentioned your DW several times, but do you have any children? Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 00:36, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

I saw, and it just slipped my mind to comment further. I had some foggy memory of you mentioning a Duncan scene that was based off something that happened to a friend in your youth; either I'm mistaken (not unlikely) or you were speaking of some other Duncan-based scene. -- Sunshineandravioli- Legendary  Pixie!   RAVIOLI EVERYWHERE!  22:11, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, uhh, Gideon? Can you please check out this blog? I need some help. -_-; Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 00:04, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that, and yes, I'd vbe happy to vote for your story.

Gideon, I have two questions. One, when will you get to the blog post I mentioned? I really need help. Also, I noticed Gigi made a new story. How do I get to it? I couldn't find it. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 15:08, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your continued support, Gideon. And I hear what you're saying--it's just that life is hectic for me at the moment (with college concerns and my Eagle Scout project), and as such I simply don't have the time I once had to sit down and write.

Stephen King?
Umm, Gideon, I have a question about an author. And I bet you already know who I'm talking about since you notice the headline. Umm, do you know Stephen King and are you a fan of his work (I've heard of him after reading Carrie). Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 22:05, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Gideon? Can I ask this quick literary question? I can? Thanks. Well, I was wondering, I remember you telling other users that you don't like it when POVs go back and forth. What's really so bad about that? If the author puts at the top of the section "(insert name here)'s POV", would that be better? Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 22:18, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Gideon. It felt kind of weird to mess the ballot up. Can you parents my phone and tell them not to worry Santa? 21:19, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hi GideonCrawle, I'm curious as to who QOS is. I looked at the banned users page, and notices how it says "Probobly QOS" after many banned users. So who is this QOS person and what did they do? Thank you! In my own little word, they all know me there... 22:24, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Umm, Gideon? Didn't there use to be a newsletter that Sunshine would do? I remember there being a FU interview. Well, where can I find it and since I'm FU, how does the interview work? 68.114.142.130 22:39, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

If you look at the top of this, you'll see a tab. S/he copied and pasted it into his/her own template, changed the links, and told me s/he wasn't copying. A few months ago, Pinball asked me if he can use it, I was gonna say no, but had to go. I forgot to tell him later on, and mysteriously left the wiki. So, yeah, I want this design kept to myself. -- M T  D  M  03:29, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

MoonChild
Hi Gideon! It's me Lindsay, and I have a question for you to anwser, if you don't mind doing so. Anyways, the question is what is a moonchild? There's a character that appears to have the label as the moonchild in the upcoming TD series. I have tried doing research on my own, bbut the results are hardly the same. One result is someone in witchcraft, while another is a person with intergirty ( I think that's how to spell it xD). If you could anwser this question I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks ;) - user: Lindsaysbiggestfan

Thanks Gideon. :) and thanks for the spelling correction. The wikia wouldn't be the same without you. - user: Lindsaysbiggestfan

I saw you asking a user about their avatar, asking if that was her or a celeb. Actually, it's a celeb named Rebecca Black. 68.114.142.130 23:17, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

That was me logged out. Sorry. XP Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 23:18, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Umm, Gideon, about the user that you noticed I opposed (by the bye, her avatar is actually Rebecca Black, a celeb famous for her "terrible" song Friday)... doesn't she sound a little bit like QOS to you? Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 12:01, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... I love taking pictures of people in general. People walking, people laughing, people smiling, people jumping, etc. Sometimes I try to catch my friends at good moments by taking candid shots, and while some of them come out hilarious and unflattering, they occasionally turn out to be beautiful. I also find myself taking pictures of random objects or scenery that I find to be eppealing. Earlier, there was this great-looking mailbox in front of a very cute old-fashioned house that I hadn't noticed before, so I told my friends to stop walking so I could take a picture of it. I wouldn't call it a talent of mine, now that I think about it, but it's certainly a hobby that I find to be fun and interesting. -Lalainee 19:15, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't make that last connection until just now. XD But no, I certainly do not regret trusting you with that little steamy scene. XDD Speaking of which, how goes the production on LoTDI? I recall your hopes were to begin posting chapters sometime around summer, and what with spring beginning to bloom around us, it would seem the long-awaited premiere is creeping ever-closer. (Which reminds me; I should get to writing myself, as I hoped to get some chapters of my own completed for posting over the summer...) ~ <font color="Red">Love <font color="OrangeRed">and <font color="DarkOrange">Ravioli,  <font color="Gold">Sunshine  ♥ 21:25, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

About Mrs. Gideon...
Umm, I hope that I don't annoy you when I ask this, but have you ever mentioned me to your DW. If so, would you say that we have at least a little bit of stuff in common? The reason why I say a "little bit" is because I remember you mentioning she's a "kid at heart" while I'm imagining more about the bloody mature stuff for a girl who isn't even 14 yet. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 01:49, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Help with creating a page!
Ok, so I was trying to create a new page but I can't figure it out. All I really need to know is how to create sections. Like how you would create a section for intro, characters, chapters, trivia, etc. Please help! Thank you :) Hiding Oreos in her bra. 06:05, April 16, 2011 (UTC

Thank you! This is a big help!!!Hiding Oreos in her bra. 01:54, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Finally, we know where Sunny D really came from! XD I can relate to your issues with finding time to write, especially considering the scale of your works (and, as you mentioned, the extensive trivia, which is something I love about your work). I've barely found time to think about, let alone work on, my various fanfictions, though recently I've gained some inspiration for my two main collaborations (TWE and Total Wikia Pokemon). Considering my many prior commitments, I've had some doubts that I'll be able to write all my chapters in advance and complete the story over summer as I originally planned, but if I buckle down and get some writing done I should be able to make substantial progress. Your explanation further reminded me of my many promises of fanarts for the people of this wiki, as well (I recently got a grand idea to combine several promised fanarts for Sprinklemist, the scale of which would far surpass even the amazingly complex, relentlessly textured Legacy artwork I did for you).

On a similar note, over the weekend I dug through some old notebooks and uncovered my plans for two "lost fanfictions" as it were; the first being a "spin-off" of sorts from the second chapter of "Ex" and of a genre that really has not been covered in a full-scall fanfiction before; the second being my coincidential "next generation" competition fic I belive I mentioned to you at one point. I found both still had relatively sound characters and plotlines, and with relatively minor modifications (the majority of which in the latter, as I have considered removing one character in favor of a new one, slightly modifying another, and changing some of the secondary plotlines and eliminations) I could still write and publish them. In the case of the "next generation" fanfiction, considering its accidental connection to LTDI, I may wait to release my story until after that premieres, which would be both remarkably amusing and a subtle bit of advertising for both fanfictions. ~ <font color="Red">Love <font color="OrangeRed">and <font color="DarkOrange">Ravioli,  <font color="Gold">Sunshine  ♥ 17:30, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

I do have something planned! It's not as fancy as Sprink's or Jacob's, but it'll have to do. And trust me, I don't mind if you don't finish Production. But I thank you for reading as much as you can. Goldenshane 13:55, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Gideon I really need your help. So I made a page and did what you said to do about headings and it didn't work!!!!!!! And the trivia is messing up. The first trivia dot keeps popping up at least a space away from the triva thing and everytime I backspace it goes back down when I preview it!!!!!!!!!! And these li things keep appearing!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Gideon. Sorry for edits Rhonda's story when you asked. I figured most people would be gone and all so I went ahead and fixed the page up a bit.... Sorry, again. x_x I've done that before and people haven't gotten mad, so... yeah. Sorry.... x_x -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  02:15, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, phew. XD I get so stressed whn I think I've done something wrong. Anyways, yes, I did see the problem right away when viewing the source of her stories page. A common glitch I've noticed on wikis I've edited recently (I assume I'm the only one to see them right away because I disabled by Rich Text Editor, as my fanfiction's source button broke) is excess coding that really, isn't necessary. This sometimes latches onto headings and disables them. So... yeah. XD -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  02:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) What was the letter thing you mentioned? (The one you made a link to).
 * 3) What made you so teary-eyed about this chapter?

I got your message. I wasn't sure on Fanatasia and whether the Pastoral piece was from the 2000 version or the earlier.

I don't know. At first, I created a new account on TD Wiki 'cause I'd been out for nearly a year and I thought it would be nice if people tried to guess who I am. But later, I prefered to stick to that account. It seemed like a chance to start from scratch, redo my reputation, and make friends not depending on my old account.

It's nice to be back. I can't wait for your preview and, of course, 3000th edit post. I love TV Tropes. It's kind of a secret addiction of mine: I love to look at the tropes, yet if somebody asked me which ones I saw in a story or show I unfortunately could never spot them. I'll have to say I wasn't really surprised at the number of tropes you've found in LTDI, but that's not a bad thing. One day once I have a good percentage of one of my stories posted (I'll actually be making a blog in a few days announcing the date I've decided for finally starting to post TDI:FYE) I'll have to search for tropes in my own work. I've always wanted to do it. Thanks for welcoming me back, and trust me. I'm glad to be back. Freefalling Lilacs is way too boring for a cool signature. 03:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, your workshop helped alot! It made me realise that my one story that involves POV switching sounds quite childish and choppy when I read all the way through, so I'm in the process of writing it in 3d person omniprescent, as it gives it a more mature feel. Omg.Chacha is mah name, being sarcastic is mah game! 14:08, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

In regards to your last comment on my page, I love POV switching, I really do, I just feel I'm not great at using it, as I always use some strange statement to end the section. It's hard to explain, but I just think there are definatly people who can use it, like Stephanie Meyer of Twilight uses it, and it works brilliantly. Again, thank you for your help! Omg.Chacha is mah name, being sarcastic is mah game! 15:52, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me where you get your images for TDI:G&S? They're pretty high quality. <font color="Blue">Jake Writer, Drawer, Friend 07:01, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

I know it's a moment that was purely for comedic purposes, with no intention at hinting at their sexual orientations. I'll be sure to check that preview out later, and the NoCo saga of my D&R reenvisioning is definitely to be unique if not controversial from all three sides of the homosexual argument. I'm not doing it simply for controversy, of course, and the NoCo portion of the story won't be the most important plot. It'll simply be to get that "third side" of the controversy recognized, when it is commonly neglected or pretty much unknown. Actually, I think Sprink might have covered that in his superhero story... I think... He told me one of his characters was to have that perspective, but I don't know if he followed through with it.

Anyway, I'm really starting to ramble.

Thanks for the help with signature. I know this isn't the first time we have discussed signatures. Unfortuanley, things are not going well. If you go to my talk page and look under MyScope3000 and under TESTING: you'll find my signature. I tried to post it here but it lost all it's colors :( I can't seem to get the white one to lead to my talk page. Can you help? Plus I'm confused as how to make it my signature at my preferances. Can you explain how in more simpiler terms. Thank You. Last Of The Gophers!!! 23:50, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I just remember some slightly important information.

I left a message on Sprink's blog saying I liked the Richard idea. I hope that helps him get chosen! I loved how you came up with the idea. It was really sweet. And its ok you haven't read the new chapter. I did post it about 28 days after I said I was going to XD. I'm excited about it though. I had some writer's block but it's gone. I also read your comment about formatting and I appreciate. I'm not the best with formatting but I'm wanting to learn. I think it will help me a lot and hopefully end all the problems I keep having.

Hey Gideon I we've been over this a billion times but I wanna make a new signature and I had trouble. Ok so this is a rough draft of what is was to be: [http://totaldramaislandfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:Rhonda_the_stalker_fan! When you leave,] My colors fade to grey,[http://totaldramaislandfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rhonda_the_stalker_fan! Little lover stay<3]

So I was gonna add more but I had three questions to ask.

1. I used source mode to make this signature. So anyway the middle one is soppuse to take you to my user talk but it doesn't. Any ideas why?

2. How to I change this to my current signature?

3. I copied and pasted this from my talk page. If you look there you can see there in color in this order: Purple, Grey and then Pink. But they didn't show up in that color. Do you know why?

Help
Hey, Wiki-Dad. I need some help. I revised the Annalise-Cassandra-Mr. Squirrel scene further, and I sort of like how it all ended up. Anyway, I was writing my chapter, and I tried to show a lot of it. However, it seemed... dry. I decided tell some of the feelings and thoughts that the characters had and it actually really helped! However, I have a question.

I don't know if I truly know what showing is in writing terms. I perceive it as showing the physical things that the characters are doing, describing what the tone and feel of the setting is, and describing what the character is feeling rather than just outright telling it. For example, instead of "Joan was sad", I think that I could say, "As her boyfriend left her, Joan sat on the couch, crying. Despite her mother's soothing words, the waterworks would not stop." I don't know if that shows that she's sad, or it tells it, but I'm hoping it showed. Anyway, don't feel obligated to reply right away as I know you're busy. --Goldenshane 00:04, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Ah... okay. I get it, I think. Basically, if you describe the feeling through their physical motions (Like the sad/wept) comparison, that is showing. Okay, I think I understand it more. Thanks! --Goldenshane 13:43, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

thanx so much for commenting. (not like anyone else would comment) i hate my story but once i start something i have to end it. On TDI wikia, the camp tv article says the host was used as announcer and they never showed him/her, they only showed their arms come out of no where on the promo where he was giving Gwen the bowl of gruel. (i think that was host/announcer) so i made ideas with them NEVER showing the host and tried to be differnet to how they called "host". Anyways thank u so much for commenting and hopefully you read this.....

Honestly, I have no idea what to do on my blog; but I guess that prolonged chat with SG through the blog thread made me reach the 1990s point.

But I guess my usual standard of posting random pictures will presume, as it's been a trademark of mine; but I doubt there'll be as many. But I'll struggle to find a lot! Also, I might even post several videos. Of course, there's this error that occurs and only lets me post one video on a blog, so don't be surprised if other vids aren't up, yet.

Originally, I was planning on posting a Shane Dawson video, but since you haven't heard of him, you might find his humor disgusting (I doubt a vampire drinking menstrual blood would be your typa thing). But as for videos, I might post a few Nicki Minaj lyric videos since they know I like her music.

And a whole buncha other stuff will be posted, too. :) ♪I wish that I could have this moment 4 life♫ ♪Whenever you call, baby I&#39;ll roll up♫ ♪After a hurricane comes a rainbow♫ 15:24, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

I looked at TDI G&S but I'm confused. Is it retelling Total Drama but has songs from operas that match what happens? Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love. With your name on every wall. &lt;3 00:29, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I heard Izzy's theme and I really liked it. I once saw an opera for a special at night field trip and I really liked. It was called Don Padro. I think it was about an old man who wanted to leave his money to an heir but he wouldn't leave to his nephew because he didn't like who he married. So the old man tries to marry someone but he is tricked into marrying someone horrible who is his nephew's lover in disguise trying to convince the old man to let her and the nephew marry. I think it was by Shakesphere. XD Does it sound familar? Anyway I think I'm gonna take your suggestion and have Julie mention the lyrics. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love.

About your latest message, I guess you have more children then one now! XD Goldenshane 03:30, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Gideon! Yeah, it's been a while, and it's great to hear from you again! I'd have replied sooner, but I haven't been too diligent in checking the wiki recently with all of my summer-fun activities going on. You are correct, I did say that I've always loved Sadie for some reason, and that hasn't changed. I'm always excited for any scene you write pertaining to her, and your confidence in this particular scene makes me all the more excited to read it. As for the 1000th edit... I'm not really sure when I'm going to hit that. Like I said, I haven't been the most diligent user lately, so my edit count has been increasing very, very slowly. I feel like I've been close to 1000 for a really long time. XD When I do hit 1000, I don't see myself doing anything particularly enormous. Maybe I'll make a blog thanking a few wikians who make my life here happier (including you)... I suppose I'll put more thought into it when I actually feel close to the goal. -Lalainee 05:41, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I can't remember much about the opera but I do remember that the lesson of to be learned was to not marry old or to never marry old. I'm not sure I agree with that message though. I remember someone telling me Romeo and Juliet wasn't an original plot but I had no idea that all his stories plots were unoriginal. I believe that now a days a lot of plots in movies and on certain episodes of shows is very unoriginal. It is way too predictable. And I find it interesting someone said that the plot was unoriginal when a lot of fanfictions plots and premises are unoriginal. I mean all the fanfictions are based on Total Drama. So most fanfictions can't be that original. But like you said there's more than one way to be creative. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love. With your name on every wall. &lt;3 06:21, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

We'll see what happens with the edits, I guess. I personally don't see the point in making a huge deal of a certain number of edits, but if other people like to do that, that's fine too. That news about the previews and your posting schedule is pretty exciting! I think any news about LTDI is exciting, though. I like that you're writing each intro as if the reader has never heard of TDI. It sounds like they're going to be very detailed, which is something that really appeals to me. A lot of stories neglect some characters in favor of others, but it seems like LTDI is going to be pretty well-rounded in terms of screentime for each character. I can't wait to see the next preview, and eventually the first chapter. -Lalainee 02:50, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Would you be able delete Total Drama Superstars and un-delete Total Drama on Deck? I don't want TDSuperstars anymore. Thanks. --Lulucas777 00:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't know Shakespeare wrote histories. And the fact he had no idea he was writing for the ages kinda surprises me. Last year are class read a book called the Wednesday Wars which had a lot of Shakespeare references. The main character was reading Shakespeare plays and even appeared in one. It was actually good book especially since I thought I would hate it. The reasons for lack in originality do make sense. The phrase "If it ain't broke don't fix it" came to mind for why they don't do more original plots, though the phrase doesn't exactly fit. I love the line about drama. I'm probably going to quote that. Also I'd like to nominate Julie but I feel since the story has only four chapters a lot of people will oppose her. But I suppose it really doesn't matter if people oppose it because Julie will/is still be a great character. And publicity would be nice. But at the same time Reddy also nominated Julie's pic for Feature Image ( not that I mind) and I don't know if that means I shouldn't nominate her. I do plan on nominating Julie first out of all the TDWTH characters if any others are to be nominated. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love.

I think I'm leaning towards not doing anything... I'll either hit 1000 tomorrow or the next day, so we'll see what I decide. Either way, I don't think it'll really matter too much. As for 1000 being the mark for Featured User, that's not something I'm too preoccupied with either. I don't think I'd ever be taken seriously as a nominee for FU, being only a reader and commenter who doesn't consistently contribute to the wiki. XD That's okay, though, because I don't feel like I need recognition as a FU to feel like I matter to the wiki. As long as one person cares that I'm here, I'll stay. That's good enough for me. :) -Lalainee 07:16, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Wiki-dad, I know you've started reading Fiji. What are your first impressions? Believe me, I'm not asking you to continue reading it today or tomorrow or anything. When you have time and want to do it, that's when. Anyway, is the description too much, too little, too telly, too showy, and are the characters different, or are they just clones? Again, answer on your own time. Goldenshane 04:09, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I did write far too much description for chapter 5 in Fiji. As for the wikilympics chapter, I liked it. I know I didn't use as much detail as I could've, and that bothered me. But I'm realizing that dialogue is way more important than whether Terra places her hand on a tree and rests on it. I probably could've just done this, "Terra rests upon the tree and asks, 'You sure this'll work, Tijuana?'" It shows she's tired (by resting on a tree) and shows some of her personality within the quote (she's not too trusting.)

"Tijuana looks up and glares at Terra. 'Of course it will! Don't worry about it.' Tijuana looks down to find a jumbled mess of mechanical parts. With a sigh, Tijuana hands over the wrench.

"'Just take it!'" Again, I showed as much as a needed in order for some people to get a hold of Tijuana's personality there. Confident, not too good with machinery and hates to lose. I didn't need to use a ton of description to show that Tijuana didn't want to do it, I could've just done it with a short paragraph and some dialogue.

Also, just one more question. How can I make my chapters flow and not so choppy? I felt that the wikilympics chapter was horribly choppy. Goldenshane 15:18, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ah. Now I get it. I suppose now I need to stop describing so much and use more dialogue in conjunction with description. I need to ask, was what I wrote (the thing with Terra and Tijuana) any good? Did it flow, have too much description?

{C}And as for not being that choppy, I guess it was just my opinion. It's ironic, as I wrote the chapter under some stress and on a time limit. Maybe I should stress out more often. XD Goldenshane 04:26, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Wow! I never expected TDI:A! to have a legacy quite like that. I've been told by many users over at FF.net that Total Drama Island: Again! had been one of their biggest inspirations in the fandom (which was an amazing compliment), but I never expected it to make an impact over here. For the record, what was posted on this site was only a fraction of the amount of story I'd managed to write before giving up on it. Total Drama Island: Again! was actually the longest thing I had ever written (one of the chapters that I still have saved on my computer was almost 17,000 words) and I'm still pretty impressed that I'd managed to make it as far as I did in it, so I'm glad that it inspired you to write that scene. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  05:53, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah, now I'm starting to understand. I wrote that paragraph because all that dawned on me. XD. I need to start feeling the flow of writing, instead of trying to command it if it makes any sense. Thanks for liking the scene! I'm really big on showing instead of telling, so I thought description was the way to go. Dialogue's important. I know that there will be a ton of fails, and I think Fiji will just be more training grounds, and probably my fourth story will be too. I'll get it someday, though!

Ah. I wasn't actually aware that the bear image was seen as a replacement for the dead Heather image (or that it was in a pit for that matter, but that's just be because I haven't read the story). I had seen the dead Heather image on the ballot, and I was actually fond of it because I thought it was good quality. That's actually why I don't think the bear image is his best. Just like you said, it wasn't obvious that Heather was dead and I would have supported it when it was up if not for the fact that the controversy arose and I didn't really want to get into the middle of it. I'm still going to keep the oppose vote on the page because I'm still not fond of the image, but I definitely understand where all the supporting votes came from. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  03:45, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Gideon:

I just noticed that you decided to likely release LTDI in full on Labor Day Weekend, or at least in that general area. My birthday falls somewhere in the Labor Day weekend area, as well (Sept. 3), so I just wanted to say that I look forward to LTDI's release, partially as a bit of a birthday present from the wiki. This is not meant to put pressure on you or anything to keep the release in that area, but I just wanted to tell you the coincidence.- The Anonymous User 02:55, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well it kind of depends, i haven't read your story yet ( I tend to rend things when I get incredibly bored... But that's not the point...) so I'm not sure how you are showing Leshawna, I mean, is she the type to use slang, curse or is she fairly high-class and civil, while talking...

Hey, Gideon. Do you have any tips on writing? I'm kinda bad at it, though most people don't think so. I just want to improve, and see if I can get more readers. :3 --Lulucas777 05:01, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks! Gigi said that the only direction I have to go now is up, so let's see if I can! I do hope that I return to my former writing style, as that one I realize wasn't exactly bad. I simply wrote. I think that's why my wikilympics chapter was my best, as I wrote and I didn't have any time to edit it. I think that's it. Either way, thanks for supporting me through my paranoia stage. You're awesome. Goldenshane 21:38, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I was talking to Gigi, and she likes Fiji, and can tell that I'm trying to improve my description, but yet it shouldn't show. She said that, and I understand. her biggest advice was to just let it flow. When I go back and read it, I get paranoid and start getting purple. Sometimes I cut things out, so it's a balance.

Hey Gideon. I was hoping you could tell me how to put a page up for a candidate for deletion. Your wife has told me she wants to name a character for a story Rhonda (which I clearly agreed to). A page named Rhonda exists but the story it is for is a candidate for deletion so I thought I would put this page as a candidate for deletion too so your wife could use it as a character page if she wants.

Thanks! All of the people I asked to read Fiji's fifth chapter told me that it was engaging enough to keep them reading (except for the challenge portion, which I am going to try to work on). I am encouraged by this, and I did read LoTDI, but it was one in the morning when I did, so I didn't leave a comment. I need to, and I will once I'm done with everything I need to do here. I've been sort of "BLECH" with logging in, so I've just been checking on your story, Lilac's, and Sprink's. Oh, and TDIwriter's.

About the writing, I'm still going to do it. I need to learn discipline, and if I shorten up the chapters, I can write up half of a chapter, edit it, and post it in a week. Then, for my fourth story, I can easily write up chapters without taking two-month-long breaks. XD I am going to start writing soon again, probably after school tomorrow I'll write a bit.

Let's call it even then. Taking both chapters at a time actually would probably make more sense. Overall I'm pretty sure that this episode will end up being the shortest since there really isn't all that much to write. Like I'd said before, it's more of a transition episode between two much more important ones. And the elimination would only be unpopular for the reason it happens, not for the character, so there will probably only be minimal lamenting. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  01:06, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

I really like this song. It is beautiful. But I am confused as to the meaning. She is sad but why is she Mad Margaret sad? Is it because she has lost her love? I really do enjoy the song and think Julie should definitely sing it. But I'm confused on another thing. You said it as for the song for the aftermath but the mail segment is for the episode before that. What I think your saying it that Julie gets the song in the mail special and sings it in the aftermath. I agree with this idea completely. The parody song I was writing was okay, but this song has a lot more emotion and meaning. Please reply so I can understand this better. And thank you for suggesting the song. I think it really works well for Julie. Oh, come on. I bought KFC. It pretends to be southern, you pretend to be southern. Don't go there!  03:39, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

I figured that was kinda the meaning (I was leaning towards he was in love with someone else but he could be and still unnoticed). I also like how she is the unnoticed violet because that fits Julie for obvious reasons. I like Julie singing the song in the aftermath and I agree that Julie needs more depth. I love all the love she has gotten and I think more depth would (hopefully) make her even more likable. I think it will be surprise and I actually have an idea that might show Julie further developed in the future. Mad Margaret looks very interesting. I think they're all very striking but the last one (Peggy Anne Jones I believe is much more prettier than the others (no offense to them of course). Oh, come on. I bought KFC.

Hey, Gideon, I was just wondering, would it be okay to make a blog post about the real people who inspired my characters? All I'd do is upload a picture of each one. You did this with the TDI girls, so I felt it'd be best to ask you. And I'd also ask an admin to delete the blog once people have seen it, because I don't want people I know eventually stumbling on the wiki, even though most of them have no idea what TD is. So pop-pop-pop your peepers,  and tweak out your sneakers   don't sleep, come on get your Creep with me  18:31, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Is there a reason that 60 words are the limit for FQ? In that case, I think two quotes violate it, one being the quote from TDIwriter's story that I nominated. It's over by just a few words, but it's only three lines, so I'm not sure if that raises any issues, really. The word limit seems to limit the fullness of the scenes that might be nominated, as well as the the amount of description they might have, making it more likely for dialogue heavy quotes to be the only things viable for nomination. I think we could afford a higher limit, unless there's a specific reason for the current limit. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 20:36, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Here's what I did as a test. I took the quote in its current form and put it into the community corner. While it did look pretty wordy, the lack of spaces between paragraphs made things sort of balance out. It wouldn't take up much more space than a paragraph without breaks. Also, I compared it to the total size that Featured Image takes up (and the resulting descriptive paragraph). They were roughly the same size. I'll leave the decision up to you. I hope that information helps, though. Sorry if I was misleading, before. I guess 'a few words' varies between people. XD I did kind of stop counting after I had a rough idea of what the total words were. I just thought it wasn't, like, twenty or anything. Lastly, I'd like to thank you, again, for the work you've been doing with Featured Quote.

So, I have noticed you recommended my story to a couple of people. First of all, thanks a lot. Secondly, I see that in both ocasions you said my story quickly finds its own path after two chapters too close to the canon version. Well, since I currently have a writer's block, I'm thinking of rewriting the first two chapters, like you once suggested. What do you think?

I think the best option seems to be a thin box above the top two featured boxes. I imagine that looking the best. As for the community corner, I actually think it should go one space above the Image section.

I'm not really concerned with making a flawless review, but I see your point. I put into consideration that the talk page for the story was nearly empty, anyway, so I felt a need to give it content. In terms of my usage of neutral, I meant it in a way that was comparing it to other chapters; with the ratio being somewhere around .50 to 3, my ranking for that chapter would be considered average, making it a neutral chapter. I may edit and perfect the review --- As of now, I'm just seeing how my reviews are going to work, and how my basis for rankings will go.

There's no reason behind the bold text beside aesthetics, to my knowledge. The order can be switched around, of course, of what's in bold. As for the FQ being on the bottom, I'm worried about aesthetics, again.

Hey Gid. I know it's been a while (not really) and I need to post a celebratory blog for reaching 2,000 edits soon (and it's sad that I slacked off too much during Fall Break), but I have a very political question: why was George Bush so reviled? I know people shunned him for staying in the classroom while 9/11 occured, but he would've gotten killed if he reported to the White House immediately, right? (Of course, the final hijack was re-hijacked by passengers, but no one would've known that) Can you please explain why people hate Bush so much?

I'm still trying to figure out what to do for a 1,000th edit blog. I'm having trouble thinking of any ideas to make it something a bit more special than just thanking everybody who's helped me out. I'll probably end up thinking of something by the end of the month, and I'm sure I'll pass 1000 by the time I post the blog, but I don't want to post anything too lackluster. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  22:36, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

For me, a milestone edit is kind of like a symbol of proving that you've made your mark on the wiki. Yes, there are plenty of users who became fairly popular before reaching a certain number of edits, but I've always seen milestone blogs kind of as a way of saying "I'm here to stay and proud of it" or something like that. That's probably just a really odd opinion though.

As for being behind on FYE, I kind of expected that. The updates for this episode were rather random, and I think this is the longest episode so far (or at least second longest), so tackling it as one again might actually make for a better read anyway. Speaking of LTDI, I love that quick sentence. You could be going so many place with that. For the record, I have read the first night, and just haven't really had the time to come up with a good comment to put on the talk page. I kind of want to cover everything in the episode, so I'll probably reread it before actually saying much about it. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  02:02, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

(Sorry about not replying earlier, I've been busy all weekend.) I've always felt that longer commentary is both more beneficial to the author since it allows you to be more specific, but also is almost a mood boost for the author. I know I appreciate a long, constructive comment more than something that just says "Loved the chapter! Hated the elimination." or something like that just because it feels like the commenter didn't really take the time to explain themselves. I think it helps to say why you loved/hated it for so many reasons. As for the "all the cliffhangers all the time" structure you mentioned, I definitely have to give you credit for being able to pull that off. It will definitely keep people longing for the next chapter. I've always wanted to try something like that, but for a competition story I tend to think that there are some times when it's best to wrap up a storyline right at the end of the chapter. For me, sometimes it's more effective to end an episode with a resolution that way you can start anew next time. I'll definitely be looking forward to your cliffhangers though.

Oddly enough, I actually know what a lamprey is too. I used to collect Zoobooks when I was younger, so I'm really into odd creatures like that. Oh, and I can't blame your wife for not getting to FYE. It's probably better to start with shorter stories that are closer to being finished before leaping into a long ongoing one.

I'm actually replying to the comment you left on Episode Five right now, and thanks for changing the page links. I would have gotten to it eventually, but the characters' bios are a work in progress that I haven't gotten to just yet. With the similarity between FYE and LTDI, I'm really not surprised. Most stories like these have at least one huge secret/revelation, and after it's been done so many times it's near impossible to come up with either a secret or its reveal that is totally original and unpredictable. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  01:43, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Character Naming
I just read your message on Sprinklemist's talk page, and felt I should get a word in. The Total Drama Island Characters names are very common, the one I haven't heard in my real life is Izzy. I see no reason that people can't make OC's named the same. If no Canon naming was allowed wouldn't the new contestants cause to rename multiple characters to fit this rule. I just wanted to make this clear, that as a admin, I see no reason to not.<font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  16:41, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

I see what you are getting at but for the sake of making sense I can set apart Sam and the new season four Sam, Its a matter of having the thought to seperate two people, I know three Zach's I haven't suggested two of them change thier names. And as for you Sadie (OC) (TDG) you see its hard to link that cause for that you have to type Sadie its just simple to have the use of A plain old link. Now if it did ever come to putting her on the ballot I would note that it is an OC and would hope people would vote for her because they know her.--<font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  02:24, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

I am no saying I should get special treatment, I am just saying I was the first to use that name, using canon names for OCs has never been an issue, thats it. People who reuse names didn't get to the name and that is one of the wiki's issues is loss of open names. Sorry if I made it seem like I was asking for special treatment.--<font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  03:10, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

While I see you point but its also a point of when you make a character canon name or not the name you make it under is yours. Now while I get the confussion if Fairness is fair then what happens when one user and another get in a dispute over a non canon name? Is it fair to say the the user who made it first you can have it and in doing so say to the other go find a new name? --<font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  03:39, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Let me know what your major concern is about the situation. I'll have to think about it, but at the moment I'm not feeling great. I just want to know what you're thinking before I weigh in, I guess, as to why it's a major issue (I'm not saying I don't feel like it is, I get where you're coming from, but names are gettin near impossible to get, which is a whole other issue.). I would probably let the admins weigh in on this, too (and I guess the other users). <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 03:40, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

If I may say something, I don't like the idea of completely banning canon character names. I have an OC named Heather in my story, deliberately named the same as the canon character. Sharing the name of the canon Heather is actually an important plot point, as canon Lindsay, the host, assumes she's just like the Heather who hurt her, and despises her for her name alone. Renaming Heather to a different name would completely change things around, since with any other name, that plotline wouldn't make any sense. Her name has to be Heather for it to work. Frank15 05:40, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

I read your commentary on Sprink's talk page, first I by no means place TDG above the canon, and I don't find your suggestion unneceptable, I would just rather not do it. I just want to make it clear that I am not hating, I just don't want to change my characters name for the reason you have stated, I see your point but I find no reason to make the change not to put myself above anything or anyone. I do not want to make it seem I am being arrogant or anything I just don't wish to do t and that is that I am ot placing myself above you or anyone or anything. <font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  07:05, October 27, 2011 (UTC)66.219.226.42 07:04, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

If I do, do a back up name I will let you know, so far no names I have thought of that are open work...--<font color="Lime">Kenzen11 - <font color="Black">Blog  - <font color="SteelBlue">Talk  03:13, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

As Kenzen mentioned, we did talk. I tried to suggest names to him, but he really wanted Sadie, I guess. While I agree that a name should suit a character (when I don't feel a name suits someone I can never remember them), I can usually think of something else that would be suitable, if something comes up. For that blog as to a decision, I hope you would be fine with what is decided on either side of the issue, as I do think this needs to be decided as a wiki. I'll have the blog be open to all, so users can make suggestions, but the decision will be the majority of the admins. I'll post the blog tomorrow at a time that's closer to when the wiki has more traffic. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 03:36, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

I read the story, got to the 'racy' spot involving Cody, and decided to stop reading. The first one bothered me, but I tried to stick with it, thinking that it would be sort of a rare thing. References to nudity/body parts/not too graphic slang for said body parts don't bother me, but more sexual references tend to bother me. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 17:28, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, and dealing with it. He's used my images on Camps, too, without permission, and stuff from Deviantart, here (and when caught on the latter, saying that he thought they were images from an actual future cast, which I didn't believe, but what could I do?)

Yeah, your right. Like I told Gigi, this wiki confuses me a lot. I don't understand it sometimes I can't trust most users on here. I'm not sure if it's anyones fault, to be honest. Never surrender  00:22, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yes Jay has been helping me and doing a great job. But thank you for considering doing it as well. It is a shame that it had been scaring people away but now I think more people might give it a chance. Or at least I hope. I had never learned that dialogue rule but I'm glad I did because I always was confused on that. They don't teach you how to write dialogue in school. Of course they don't want you writing dialogue in school either.

And thank you for nominating that passage of Total Drama What The Heck. I immediately went to go see what you nominated and supported it. I also know you supported Julie for Featured Character and gave some defense to her opposes. You also nominated Total Drama What The Heck for the newsletter's top ten. Thank you so much for doing all these nominations! I really appreciate it. It means a lot you did all that. I have done a little featured voting but I need to do more. Especially with FQ.

Hi, Gideon. Do you mind deleting a few pages for me that break the rules? I've come across so many character pages that are only one sentence, or no sentence at all. It honestly annoys me, so I was wondering if you could delete them?  Leave a comment... LIKE A BOSS 19:25, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

I understand where you're coming from, but I find it hard to put info on a character before their story starts. While most people like to put background info on their character to foreshadow or to give the reader insight on a character, I prefer the story itself to have the only information about the character than we already know. I think my idea of thinking this way comes from the fact that the real Total Drama characters' bios are really meaningless.-- Radicalm18 "Nice guys finish last,  that's why I'll treat you like trash." 20:20, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

To tell the character's story from the fanfic itself.-- Radicalm18 "Nice guys finish last,  that's why I'll treat you like trash." 20:26, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Well, that is fine, but until a character gets eliminated, at least for me, my character pages only contain one sentence and a character box. So until a character's elimination, my pages are technically eligible for deletion.-- Radicalm18 "Nice guys finish last,  that's why I'll treat you like trash." 20:35, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

I understand that. I have the right to say I don't like the rule though, and I am working on fixing my character pages to apply to the rule. When I was talking to OHF, I just wanted to assure that none of my character pages were deleted before I could fix them.-- Radicalm18 "Nice guys finish last,  that's why I'll treat you like trash." 20:52, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

I haven't been so socially active recently and I don't think I am that well known but maybe I am. I have thought about running for Featured User but I don't think I'm ready for that.

XD I read the Mad Margaret page and I cracked up. She was just so random I loved it! I especially loved it when she said "You pity me? Then be my mother! The squirrel had a mother, but she drank and the squirrel fled! Hush! The sing a brave song in our pants..." XD. I might just make that my new signature. I can certainly see where the "Mad" part comes from.

Hey, Gideon. Just thought you'd be interested that me and my family just went to see a production of the Pirates of Penzance. My sister's friend's sister's boyfriend (seriously) was the Major General, but I didn't think he did a great job at it, since I've seen a movie adaptation of it, and he wasn't what I pictured. My favorite character in the adaptation we saw was the Police Chief, he made me laugh a few times. Also, an interesting thing was, according to the brochure, nobody in the cast was over twenty. :P Toadgamer80 Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves. 19:26, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Oh...well, I excluded a rating deliberately. I never liked ratings when reviewing because I had no idea what to compare it to. There's no specific best of anything.

I'm glad you found Maniaci interesting. I love his voice, and truly envy his high range, which is literally impossible for me, even though I am a high countertenor. I am unfamiliar with the piece he sang, but it did interest me.- The Anonymous User 23:03, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I recall him saying that he can go about a sixth higher than a countertenor, but I think that refers to the typical countertenor, whose falsetto can only go so high. I can go higher than most countertenors, apparently, because Maniaci only goes about a third or fourth higher than I can.- The Anonymous User 23:51, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

I'm happy to answer any questions. The contestants' ages range from 16 to 18. Only a few of them actually have assigned ages (Irina for example is definitely 18, but characters like Angel could be anywhere in the 16-18 range). I didn't mention it on purpose because it really doesn't matter. I only have one plot point that is based on two characters' ages, and that doesn't come in until much later in the story. She's never really had a specific age, but I'd say Elena is probably 17.

I really love the idea, and think it would be amazing if you ended up somehow tying in my story. FYE being set seven years after the original TDI is accurate (unless of course you consider that TDI and TDA were supposedly back to back. I don't really think that was true though, since I've considered them to be at least six months apart).

As for a ten-year-old Elena, she was obviously spoiled as a child. She accompanied her mother to many famous social events, and her father to many business-related media appearances. They had done the same thing with her older sister, and her parents toted her around like she was more of a show dog than their child. She didn't necessarily believe that she was better than everybody at the time, but did think that she deserved more attention than others. She didn't have many friends at that age (because she really hadn't learned that she needed to actually consider others' interests to make them like her), so she was rather bratty, though if somebody were to actually be nice to her rather than try to be her babysitter she would be willing to obey somebody for a few minutes. Appearance-wise, she had short bobbed hair with bangs, the same tanner skin tone, and always wore some kind of dress.

Elena's father, Elliot Harks, was probably going on forty at the time and is a tall, thin man with close-cropped black hair and cold, ice blue eyes. He loved his daughter, but found her to be a nuisance and would often have her go find something else to do while he worked. He seems kind until he talks about business, when he transforms into a stubborn, greedy man who can make negotiations like no other.

Hello, Gideon. I had recently cancelled my fanfiction Total Drama Camp, I'm sorry that I keep cancelling fanfictions. I'm determined to finish my next one. I just have to make sure I like the idea, characters, etc. But I was thinking about, taking the title Total Drama Forest. But first I wan't to make sure I'm allowed to use it. that fanfiction, Total Drama Forest hasn't been edited since July 15, 2010. Also, the author who goes by 'Patti Satti' hasn't edited since October 13, 2010. Do you possibly think, that you could ask him, if he's continuing the fanfiction or not?

I didn't really pay that much attention during TDA, so it figures I'd always considered how badly out of character some of the contestants seemed and had assumed some time had passed to make them act that way. FYE definitely takes place five years after TDWT, but if its six or seven after TDI it doesn't really matter.

The fact that you're working in the Harks Hotels storyline at all is wonderful, and I'm glad that you're doing it. It think the whole set up for why the losers go to the hotel is great, as well as the way it's being promoted as "smaller and more remotely located than previous Harks Hotels, but with most of the same amenities". It makes it sound like some kind of a weekend getaway type of hotel. Overall, the whole idea sounds amazing and I'm so glad you chose to incorporate Elliot Harks (and Elena) into LTDI.

Response
I understand the meaning of your message, Gideon. And I appreciate your help. However, I respond with two things. First of all, I rarely have time to even edit my own stories and character pages. Honestly, I'm just trying to get them done and out of the way. Second, I am very well involved in the social side of this site, just not on this particular Wiki. My main area of activity is on the main Wiki, and in that IRC. As a matter of fact, it was friends of mine from that Wiki who convinced me to post my stories here, and I understand that many of the people on this Wiki also use the main Wiki. I'm honestly not looking for recognition with my stories. While it would be nice, it's not necessarily my top goal. Especially considering (and you are the first person on Wikia that I'm telling this to) the fact that, after my third story - Total Drama World Tour: Second Season - is finished, I will permanently retire from the Total Drama fandom. So it's not like my career on this Wiki will be long or something that should have recognition.

But, once again, I thank you for your advice and I highly appreciate it. --Cameron: "I want my bubble!" "I WANT MY BUBBLE!" 01:55, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

I know Sunshine used to have her own art style when she was around, so I wasn't too afraid to come out with some non-TD style art. TDI style is actually really restrictive, so drawing in my usual style is like a breath of fresh air. Allison, Sebastian, and Isaac have always had planned facial shapes/features, so I knew they'd make the easiest transition out of the Total Drama style. Wes I'm not so sure since I keep changing how he's supposed to look facially, and Donna is so messed up in the picture that she'd look totally different in any other situation. If her hair was straight, her eyes in a less disturbed almond-ish shape, and her skin... unstained she'd be much more recognizable. (For the record, the "jaundiced" skin tone is just yellow paint. As to why she has it on her face instead of on her clothing like everyone else, I can't spoil that.)

Donna was always supposed to be a lot paler than most of the contestants (except Ophelia), and I think the combination of the really white skin, darker hair, and shadows on her face makes her look unnaturally pale. Without the shading, her skintone looks a bit more alive. As for LTDI, I'm planning on leaving a long comment on the talk page after Christmas. I've read the chapters that are up so far, but I'd prefer to actually go more in depth with a reread before commenting. I've always found searching for character theme songs insanely difficult, and it always amazes me when people can find the perfect song for a character.

Well, your edits definitely skyrocketed, didn't they? Anyway, three chapters, eh? I've got a bit of catching up to do, I guess.

Your posts are always so difficult for me to follow up, because they always look so grand in comparison to any I make. But that's might. When I'm outside of the realm of creative writing, I'm not exceptionally verbose. Though my story has very long chapters in comparison. Maybe I should take a note from... myself.

So, thanks a lot for the update. I'll be on the lookout for the new things. I already checked out the quotes. They're pretty exceptional, and I'll be sure to contribute. I like that sort of thing. --Pinball1106 has never changed his signature. Wait... Darn It! 05:52, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

If they were all done in a row by the same person, then simply click 'rollback'. That will bring things back to the last edit by someone else. When that doesn't work, check the history of the page, go to where you want to go back to, and edit the page. It'll warn you that a revision will undo future edits, so... That's what you want.
