User talk:Rhonda the stalker fan!

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Total Drama Island Fanfiction wikia! Thanks for your edit to the User:Rhonda the stalker fan! page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Sprinklemist (Talk) 06:52, January 25, 2011

Thanks for your kind words. Total Drama Super Powered is less about romance, I guess. I kind of didn't realize it was happening and now it seems a little late. I considered one more romance, but I don't think it's going to happen. The second series all happen in the same world. For TFC, I'm not sure about an actual contest. I like those stories to be self contained in each chapter. Sprinklemist hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 15:03, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Crystal (writer of Pixie Dust!)! Thank you sooo much for your kind words! Even though I'm such a descriptive person, I chose not to be this time mostly because Pixie doesn't seem like the real descriptive person. c: I'm sorry I didn't finish chapter 5; I'll finish it quickly. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 13:00, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, girl! Just wanted to tell you that I finished Ch. 13 and leave your response to the rest of the chapter on the talk page, please! :D Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 03:57, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Just thought I'd visit and tell you there's a 14th chapter. And this is what happens: Heather confronts Pixie. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 00:09, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Rhonda. Thanks for your comments on the talk page; they really mean a lot. Umm, there are two things I want to ask you. First and foremost, would you like to add yourself to my friends list? I really think your nice; no one's given me that much support on a talk page before. Also, if you didn't read what I said on the talk page, I was thinking of splicing chapters together (as in turnign Ch. 1 and 2 into just Ch. 1, Ch. 3 and 4 into Ch. 2), and is that OK with you? The reason why I ask is because I feel that it's rather ridiculous of me to have 14 chapters already and not even near the climax yet. Please respond on my talk page when you get the time. Thanks. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 02:55, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Your support isn't sappy at all! In fact, I actually needed support. I wasn't that confident with Pixie Dust at all until I realized that you loved it. It's definietly a lot softer compared to the other stuff I write; I mean, soon, there will be a bit of a darker edge later on in the story, but don't worry, it's not anything extreme. It's just the average teen angst Pixie has. Still, I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad that me combining chapters won't change how you feel about the story; I only chose that idea because even though Mother always said that it takes as many words as it takes for a story, I just felt that the chapters would be better if I put them together. Thanks! :D Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 16:18, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! While I may've not written a new chapter, I did add a new tidbit to Ch. 7 of Pixie Dust if you wanted to check it out. :D Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 00:29, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, you are so sweet! :) What a nice thing you said to me on the talk page. Anyways, I deeply apologize about not working on Ch. 8; I've been piled with schoolwork and I had to stay home today 'cause I got stomach virus. However, when all this blows away, I promise to work on the story. Pinky promise! :D

Btw, what you have to do in order to vote is to have 100 edits. Oh, don't worry; it's very easy to do so. I just look up stuff in the search engine and comment on whatever I see or read. Also, you have to vote when logged in and you can't vote more than once. Also, if you oppose others, don't say stuff like "I want Crystal to win" or "Never heard of you, sorry". If you do that, the admins with reprimand you deeply. Try giving a valid reason. Hope that helped. c:Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 23:43, March 7, 2011 (UTC)

I saw your comments on the LTDI talk page. I'm glad to hear that you like it.

Yes. You can do that with just being a member, though you can usually only make one choice. Sprinklemist hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 12:27, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

FYI, so it doesn't alarm you, I moved your acknowledgement post on the LTDI talk page from before the Q&A to after it (i.e. to the "Prologue/prelaunch discussion part 2" section) because I want to maintain chronological order on that part of the page. On an unrelated note, I noticed that you asked Sprink how to make a custom signature. The way I learned the various tricks is to go into Edit mode on a talk page, then hit the "Source" button at the top to see the page's/section's source code. That will show you how various users compose their signatures. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 16:12, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

To add a section heading, put two or more equals signs ahead of and following the text that you want to be in the heading (e.g. ==Trivia== ). Two equals signs for a main heading, and three or more for a subheading, but the same number before and behind in any case. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

Hi, Rhonda! I'm sorry that progress on Pixie Dust has been slow... however, I have two questions for you.

1: Your avatar is so cool! What is it, though?

2. Have you ever watched iCarly?

Hope you respond and I hope you're well. Also, congratz on 100+ edits! :) ♪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♫ 21:10, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

EEE! I love Fantasia! It was my favorite kid movie, too. Since I was such an insomniac when I was little, this movie would lull me to sleep. Plus, it is romantic and magical, isn't it? :) Also, I LOVE iCarly, too. I don't really find Carly creepy (Gibby, maybe). I also love Seddie. Umm, I'm writing a fanfiction and it's sort of about something in iPity The Nevel. If you've watched that episode, care for the premise? Sure, it is a little dark, but you'd probably like it for a main reason: romance! XD ♪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♫ 21:45, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome about Fantasia! Also, I agree. I mean, I don't have anything against Carly or anything, but she can honestly annoy me at times. Plus, the Creddie idea would be a bit of a cliché; yet, it's cute at times. Anyways, here's the premise:

'''If we all remember iPity The Nevel, Nevel Papperman had hit rock bottom because of a viral video and begs the iCarly gang for help. Well, in the story Angel, this is what happens if they didn't help Nevel. With that, his world begins to collapse as his website gets deleted, he's expelled from school and has to enroll into Carly's school, and at the same time, Carly's beginning to feel remorse in her decision. Now here's the dark part. Nevel suffers from a car accident and the Angel of Death arrives. She berates Nevel for his behavior and says that he'll be damned into Hell for his unworthiness. He tearfully begs to live again, and she promises to reverse everything back to where he was about to step into the car, however, she makes a deal with him: he has to change his ways before the last day of school at Bridgeway High (in her words, before the spring flowers bloom), and if he cannot, he'll descend into Hell for all eternity. With the help of the iCarly gang, this story is about a sworn enemy confronting his masked appearance and even falling in love along the way (with Carly).'''

Well... whaddaya think? ♪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♫ 22:08, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm honestly doing this out of sympathy for Nevel. I mean, I never liked him to start with (the actor that played him, I do like. But Nevel? No). When I saw him sincerely apologize on iPity The Nevel, it showed that he does have a heart. To me, maybe something happened before to cause him to act like such a sociopath. Now, the only thing I would recommend is clicking on this link. It'll give you more information on the Angel of Death since she's a vital part of the story. Whether you like or hate her, fear of respect her, she's a very powerful character. It's not that long, but it has a lot of information to let you know about her and her background. Once you've finished, please respond. Thanks! ♪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♫ 22:24, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't know it meant that. xD I mean that he (or I) is always on the cutting edge of technology and knows tech news. If you watch iCarly, I guess you could compare Freddie. I hope it&#39;s candy! Or a whole bunch of shoes! Or shoes made of candy! 22:40, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! And yes, I'm posting it on SFF Wiki. When's it's posted, I promise I'll let ya know. I don't really feel sympathy for Lilith because she's a very flawed, yet exciting character. If you've seen Carrie and remember the religious-nut mother, Lilith's just like that. She's selfish and at the same time faithful. However, whenever she makes a deal with someone, she doesn't play fair. Now, onto another part of the story: the romance. Are you looking forward to that, albeit a different couple? ♪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♫ 22:49, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! And, I think this is the last question of the evening: do you expect Nevel to be a surprisingly good protagonist as well as Carly? ♪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♫ 23:19, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

I mean as in do you have faith that Nevel will change and that Carly will help him. ♪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♫ 23:37, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

XD It's okay. Anyways, I hope I get Nevel into character. Even though he's depicted as an egomaniac, I think there's actually a tender soul behind those hazel-green eyes. Maybe he had a hard past before, like maybe, something that had to do with his father. And with Carly, she's always the one that cares most. While in the story Freddie and Sam are ambivalent to help Nevel through his difficult time (Sam thinks he's crazy and Freddie thinks it's another trick), Carly could easily tell that there's pain lurking in those eyes. To me, her problem could be that guys like her as a celebrity, but doesn't really see that she's lonely. And with those painful things of their lives uniting them, that could be where the romance kicks in. Does that make sense? ♪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♫ 00:01, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Now, what his father had to do with Nevel, I'll keep as a surprise, but I thought that the Carly idea sounded like her. I mean, I could picture them out on a balcony talking and Carly saying, "Yeah, I've encounted a lot of guys that liked me. But every time, the only part they liked was the webshow side of me. I'm much more than that, but to them, I'm not." And I could picture Nevel taking her hand and them smiling. For some reason, it's just so romantic. Hey, I thought of this little poem Nevel writes about Carly later on in the story. Care to hear it? ♪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♫ 00:19, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Okie-dokey! This is a sonnet from Nevel's journal, and a sonnet is a 14-verse poem. The poem is obviously about Carly and while he should be worrying if he'll succeed in redeeming himself, he's worrying if his secret love of Carly is unrequinted. Well, here we go!

Here I stand, away from you;

You’re still beautiful today;

We use to scream “I hate you”;

But we know what we mean to say.

The words you say, my ears’ precious drink;

Your eyes of faithful fire;

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">With every time we stare and blink;

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Our strength can take us higher.

Thanks! Y'know, after watching iPity The Nevel, I began to love Carly/Nevel, too. I mean, she cares and like I said, he's probably very fearful and fragile on the inside. Since you've probably watched that episode, do you feel any sympathy for Nevel or do you at least like him a little bit more? ♪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♫ 00:56, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Glad I could chat!

TDWTH Formatting problems
With your permission, Rhonda, I'm going to fiddle with the TDWTH story page, to see if I can figure out what the problem is. Since this wiki recognizes ownership of articles in a way that most wikis don't (understandably, due to the nature of the subject matter) I need your express permission to edit the page, even with the best of intentions.

Since you were on my talk page, you probably saw Reddy's commentary on your formatting problems. He didn't have an explanation for the cause, but I'm guessing that it your bulleted Trivia list wasn't responsible. If you want to play it safe, though, you probably don't need bullets at all. Alternatively, you might try a numbered listing instead. Anyway, the reason that weird formatting text can disable headings is because the equals signs for a heading have to be at the beginning of a line. Unfortunately, if you continue to have problems, going in and removing the extraneous formatting information is probably all you can do. I wish I had better news for you, but there it is.

I did see your acknowledgement, but it somehow got deleted when Reddy made his formatting corrections. What probably happened is that all that weird crap formatting masked it somehow, so Reddy couldn't see it in the edit window. (I've come to know him well, and I can assure you that he would never have deleted it deliberately.) And no, of course I have no objection to being acknowledged for my idea.

I was on Crystal's talk page, and I saw the mention of your avatar having come from Fantasia 2000. The "Greek Mythology" section actually comes from the original Fantasia (released 1940), set to an abridged version of Beethoven's 6th symphony (subtitled, "Pastoral") If you don't know the term, "pastoral" comes from an old term meaning "herdsman" and is an adjective for settings with shepherds and flocks, and so on. (If you're talking about farm country, rather than pastureland, then the word you want is "agrarian".) Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

Apart from the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment (the one with Mickey Mouse) everything in Fantasia 2000 was new, not merely remastered. And I've always loved to play Professor, so teaching is part of what I do here. That's part of the reason I tend to leave long comments on the stories I read. Oh, and here's something else: if you can find it, you might want to check out Allegro Non Troppo, which is an Italian-language parody of Fantasia. (The link will take you to a Wikipedia article about the film. My favorite is the evolution sequence, set to Maurice Ravel's "Bolero") Some of the animated sequences include nudity, so, depending on how old you are and the rules of your household, you might need your parents' permission to see it.

Total Drama What The Heck
Hi Rhonda, im so sorry about this, but I was dumb enough to not realise that I have a character named Jessica in my fan fiction who is almost exact to the one I submitted to yours. If you want to still use her full character design, you can check out her page called Jessica(Total Drama Re-Docked). If you want to however, you can change her name or some characteristics. I would suggest Jovi as a name change if you feel it nessecary. But feel free to use her full design, and do whatever you like with her!

Hi again! I have another heads-up about the iCarly fic: I found this song that was in the soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream, and this matches the intensity of the story well.

Okay, well, since I'm not watching it, I'm guessing that Jo leaves and their relationship is left presumably uncertain. However, as a writer and a hopeless romantic, I refuse to let their relationship be flushed down the crapper! XD Okay, I'm getting a grip, and now here's the premise:

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">'After leaving Kendall to live her dream in New Zealand, Jo is staring in a thriller called Adam & Eve'', albeit as heartbroken as him. However, things get very intense when Kendall runs away to fly to New Zealand in a desperate attempt to reconcile his relationship with her and one of Jo's cast members, Jett Stetson, is murdered and she's the accused. Now, in order to help his first love, Kendall is representing her and a string of bizarre and frightening events take place which are oddly proven mandatory for "the case of the century".

Thanks.

Really? You did? Well, if the premise had the name Snake-Eyed Sam in it, that was the original draft for Case of the Century. As crazy as it sounds, the original plot for it was going to be a psycological thriller, but it just wasn't working for me. So, since I've been hooked on playing Pheonix Wright games recently, I decided that a court room drama would be better. ♪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♫ 13:51, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Signatures
I have some answers for you, but not all of them are good.


 * 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?


 * 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?

I didn’t know why, but I was able to figure it out.

You copied from the rich text mode (i.e. the default mode) instead of Source mode. The link was there, but was inactive because your test signature was on your talk page, and a page apparently can’t link to itself. Had you gone into Source mode and copied from there, the talk page link would have come over.

Likewise, you have to copy from Source mode to get the font instructions. In addition, by copying from rich text mode, your internal links were converted to full URLs, which you definitely don’t want because there is a limit to how long the source code for your signature can be.


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

Go to your “My Preferences” page, Special:Preferences. You can also get to this page from the dropdown menu at the top right corner of the screen, at your username/avatar. On the Preferences page, you’ll see a section titled, “Signature”. Enter the source code of your signature in the line provided (you should just be able to paste it in, otherwise you’ll have to write it down and type it in manually), and check the “Custom Signature” box if it’s not already checked.

Note that the source code for your signature is limited to 255 characters, including spaces. At 262 characters, your test signature is just a little too long, mainly because you have a relatively long username. (My signature is exactly at the limit. I managed that by “cheating” on the colors, accepting the default link color on the 2nd and 4th sections, and by using colors with short names on the other sections.)

Formatting
I'm not sure what would be easier that what I suggested, except for Wikia Central getting its act together and correcting the problem at their end. Actually, using Source mode is pretty easy unless you have a lot of italics or boldface (which would have to be reformatted manually) because you don't have to stay in Source mode once your text is pasted in; you only need Source mode for the paste operation itself.

I looked at the page history, to see what your Chapter 3 post originally looked like, and I think I have some answers for you. First, the sidescrolling thing is what you get when you have a space or a tab at the start of a paragraph. (The wiki software interprets that leading space as a formatting instruction.) Leading spaces usually get there by accident, as an artifact of cut-and-paste in your word processing. If you see these sidescrolls in future, they're easy to fix--just go into Source mode and remove the leading space.

I saw that, in your initial posting, part of the paragraph was formatted correctly, and part was a Wall of Text. This is caused by differences in how the two editing modes handle spacing. The solution is to avoid single-spaced paragraphs. If you have double-spaced paragraphs (i.e. one blank line between paragraphs) on your word processor page, and paste into Source mode, your finished wiki post will have the space-and-a-half spacing that you want. Note that the Wall of Text sections of your original post would have been easy to fix, if a bit tedious--had you gone back into Source mode to fix it, you would have seen that the (single-spaced) paragraph breaks were still there, so you could have simply added the double spacing.

Before the current problems arose, pasting into the rich text editor (aka WYSIWYG mode) would add a line between paragraphs, so pasting in single-spaced paragraphs would yield the desired spacing. That's not the case anymore, though, so all we can do is adapt.

Thanx for your comment on my blog, Rhonda! :) So, I'm guessing that you like Victorious; me too! Honestly, I got hooked on it when I saw iParty with Victorious.

Well, like I said, the story is sort of a 3 part story, kinda like a trilogy except it's divided into parts instead of seperate fics. So, the parts are called years and Year One is, obviously, explaining the humiliation that changed life for Jade and Tori; Year Two is that dramatic aftermath story of how the two girls cope with their new lives and the stresses it can provide; and Year Three is basically the climax of when their worlds collide again, followed with an epilogue. :)

Other than that, are you excited about the characters, both the original cast and new characters? ♪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♫ 23:25, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I will have them act the best they can, but however, I am going to try and project more character in them. Y'see, when I write Nickelodeon fanfics this dark, I always like to add more depth into each character, since Nickelodeon doesn't (but it's a kid's network).

So, it'll portray some vulnerability in Jade (cause you know there's a light of kindness inside her), some strength and cleverness in Tori, and so forth. I'll also add more character to the others, like Cat (I won't make her lose her bubbly insight; I'll just add some strength to her), André (trying to make him more than the funny best friend), Beck (he's always a background character than an interesting character; still hot, though), Robbie (he's sweet, but I can see there's much more in him), and even Trina (now, I'm not changing her pompous, careless attitude; but I figure that I want to show more sisterly love in the story).

So... yeah. I still hope you like it when published. :) ♪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♫ 08:01, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, Rhonda, that's exactly right. The TDI-G&S story arc is strictly canon, covering Season 1 plus TDDDDI. The premise, as I stated in the TDI-G&S introduction, is "What if Gilbert & Sullivan had written TDI?" In some cases, the characters noted would be singing the verses, whereas in other cases someone else (not necessarily a canon character--it could be a faceless chorus, for example) would be singing to them or about them. In most cases, it's reasonably clear which situation applies. Basically, TDI-G&S turns the canon TDI into a comic opera (forerunner of the modern musical). Also, while most of the verses fit specific incidents in the story arc, some just fit one character or another for their nature or background.

On a related note, you should especially check out Izzy's theme song on her TDI-G&amp;S character page. Something tells me that you might want to have Julie use it somewhere. For example, I envision a situation where (a) she has something to say but the others don't want to hear it because they think she's crazy (much as with the original G&S character, called "Mad Margaret") or (b) somebody wants to hear Julie's thoughts on some matter, thinking that she knows something they don't, but Julie decides to play coy and tosses out the verse when pressed.

No, I don't know an opera called Don Padro (Don Pedro?), and I'm pretty sure it's not by Shakespeare. (Shakespeare did have a character named Don Pedro in his comedy, Much Ado About Nothing, though.) The plot you describe certainly sounds like it could have been Shakespearean, though, because mistaken identity was important to so many of his plots. By the by, did you know that most of Shakespeare's plots weren't original? I pointed that out the first time I put TDI-G&S up for FS, when it drew Oppose votes on the grounds that it didn't have an original plot. As Shakespeare understood, there's more than one way to be creative. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 05:40, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't say all of Shakespeare's plots were unoriginal, just most of them. And no, I don't know which ones were original. As you may know, though, his plays fall into three major categories: tragedies (e.g. Romeo and Juliet, Othello), comedies (e.g. Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing), and histories (e.g. Richard III, Henry V). If I had to guess, I'd say that most of his original plots are probably in the histories. It also bears mention that he wrote for the needs of his theater company, and had no idea that he was writing plays for the ages.

As for the lack of originality in movies (especially sequel milking) and TV, there are several reasons for this. For one thing, blockbuster wannabes cost so much to make anymore that there's a powerful financial incentive to stick to the tried and true. For another, if you go to basic enough a level, there are only so many potential storylines in existence. Someone (I think it was the famous filmmaker Samuel Goldwyn, but I'm not sure) once famously said that all drama can be described thusly: "Somebody wants something. Something stands in the way of his getting it. He tries to get it and either does or does not." In any case, there's nothing wrong with an adaptation that improves on the original. That's the whole reason why people write TDI reimaginings, for example.

On a completely unrelated note, I noticed that the Featured Character theme this month is "Author's Favorite". You should nominate Julie. Even if she doesn't get much support, which is a distinct possibility due to to her similarity to Izzy and the (so far) relative obscurity of TDWTH, it's still good publicity for your story. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 04:47, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

The thing to keep in mind with FC nominations is that the rules are different from the other Feature categories. The FC ballot has a different theme every month, so you can't nominate the same thing month after month until it wins. This month's theme fits Julie, but next month's probably won't. As for the effect of having Julie up for both FC and FI, I can't predict how the voters will react. The fact that the character and the image are by different users won't hurt, though. In any case, you want to put up nominees early in the month, because (a) you get the publicity benefit for a longer period, and (b) some voters tend to cast their votes early and not check back for new nominees later in the month.

Nah, it's fine. :P I'm not really overworked, really the only thing stressing me out is character images (which I'm almost done with anyway).

Judge Judy story
Judge Judy is anctual TV judge. She is tough as nails (you do not want to get her mad in the courtroom). I added the Lindsay-Chris relationship because I knew it would spark some controversy.

Hello Rhonda. I have a question for you, have you ever been to the TD Camp wiki?  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  20:03, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

It's like a roleplay reality game. idk, that's the best way I can explain it. You do challenges and stuff like that. I was wandering if you would like to collab with me and make a camp.  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  00:37, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Ya! What should we name our camp?  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  00:42, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Just cause I'm a stalker (that's right, I'm more of a stalker then you'll ever be Mrs. Stalker Fan ;D) and was looking at your and Lindsay's PMs, allow me to explain what a camp is better:

A camp is, in short, a competition roleplay on the wiki. Most of the camps are Total Drama-esque style, with eliminations (characters vote one another off on the page), challenges (usually go with a theme the camp has, and the one rule you always have to keep in mind for these is no godmodding), and, of course, winners with either custom characters (for example: Total Drama Revamped, a featured camp) or users themselves competing (for example: Skills and Thrills, a camp by Reddy and another FC). However, not all camps have to be like this, as some (such as my own camp, Jigsaw's Revenge) aren't Total Drama related, and crossover camps where you still compete, but no voting, just elimination. They don't have to be crossovers, either, some camps you can just have users competing for survival as a completly original camp (no links on hand for a camp like that, sorry xD). =P

Hope I helped, ask if you have more questions. Talking to the girl with the broken smile... Asking if she'd like to stay a while. 00:44, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Godmodding is basically making your character too powerful, completing challenges in one line, stuff like that. Sorta like:

Bob: (starts running)

Bob: (finishes)

Without letting anyone else talk, and doing it in two lines, so that was actually a double godmod. =P It's called Godmodding because... Uh... You modify your character to be like God? I dunno, actually. xD Talking to the girl with the broken smile...  Asking if she'd like to stay a while, yeah... 00:50, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

No problem. xD =P Talking to the girl with the broken smile...  Asking if she'd like to stay a while, yeah... 00:53, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't know what causes your blog posting problem, but I seem to recall that you (or someone) have had this problem before. While I've never had this particular problem, I occasionally have outages (usually lasting a day or two) where I can't post anything under the Wikia skin. I evenutally discovered that I can post under the Monobook skin in these situations. I contacted Wikia during one of these outages and was told that the Wikia staff occasionally tries new things, and that selected users might be affected during these period. Your problem with posting blogs may be something similar. If so, the problem might correct itself in a day or two. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

Appearance
Well, I should have black afro, black eyes, dark green tight t-shirt, blue jeans, and black combat boots. --Show me YOUR love! Show me YOUR smile! 07:53, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

My skin tone? Well, I'm Hispanic, so maybe a olive-orange sort of color --Show me YOUR love! Show me YOUR smile! 07:59, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

I really like your ideas. I really like the carnival one. i had a couple of ideas myself.


 * Operation:Jailbreak

The host takes some teens into a prison. The teens face offf in jail theme challenges. The winner is granted freedom, while the losers stay in the jail. >=D


 * Total Drama Fame

The teens compete in a big city. The theme would be city like challenges. The winner will win a million dollars or whatever.


 * Isolated

The teens are isolated from sociaty in a small mansion. Each week after the first challenge, one person will gain the power to put up two people for elimination. Then the remaining safe competitors vote. It goes like that until one wins.

so, those are my ideas.  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  15:25, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

TDF Characters
Hey Rhon.......da. XD Um, the character auditions are going well I guess. I wanted to ask you what you wanted to do with the characters. Are we going to have character images? I can kinda draw. Or do you wanna hire someone? XD When you see this message me and we'll go on char. :) --Lulucas777 16:59, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. Reddy is probably busy. I can't draw freehand to well, but I'm a good editor! :) Maybe Lindsay can help us? She is a pretty good artist. Or maybe we can use Kenzen's Blank Project thingy. What do you think? --Lulucas777 17:59, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Like Lexi from Total Drama City. I have to wash the dishes now.... UGH! :( I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Wait on the chat for me? --Lulucas777 18:06, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I don't think it matters who makes which character pages :P XD I'll make some when I have time. :P --Lulucas777 01:44, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

XD Ok. I think the pages should be like this for example: Gretel (R&L). Rhonda and Lulu. I also think we should make a fantasy series. After TDF, start another season. Like a series of fantasy stories like Time Travel and Super Heroes. :) That makes (R&L) make sense! --Lulucas777 01:54, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

XD Yay! I still think we should put (R&L) even if the name isn't taken It let's peole know that it's us. Plus it looks cool. :3 I can't wait to start our Time Travel season! --Lulucas777 02:04, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

I plan ahead WAY to much. XD I've planned an All-Star Story for my Take II series. :P XD --Lulucas777 02:43, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Oh! I thought of a line for when Robin Hood arrives. Rhonda or Lulu can say "Hey, Robin, where's Batman?" XD It'd be funny if he was wearing tights. XDD. --Lulucas777 02:52, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Rhonda. I dropped by because I remebered that you once mentioned to be interested in writing a chapter of Total Drama: Pointless and Random. If you're still up to that, feel free to do it whenever you want, since the chapter order doesn't matter much and Toad's chapter might still take a little long to come out.

Yes, I have a problem with stalking PMs. xD You put a page up for deletion by pressing Template on the "Insert" bad above the editing thing (left of the Signatre button), then click Delete, which puts the Candidates for Deletion category on the page and something at the top telling people it's up for deletion. =P Get it? ;D Talking to the girl with the broken smile...  Asking if she'd like to stay a while, yeah... 01:54, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

I was showing wifey some bits from TDWTH, as well as Nellie's and Julie's character pages, and I noticed something missing. You should include links to the story page on all your character pages. There's no rule that says you have to, but links will help people who come to the character pages from other places (e.g. the FC page) get to your story. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

Hey Rhonda! So, you've joined the writing team of my story which is going to be pretty epic! For our story, we're going to have meetings before we write each chapter so we all agree on everything. In order to do this, I need you to go here: http://tdidiotwriters.chatango.com/ and create an account. It's pretty simple and it only requires age and email and username and password but doesn't everything? Anyways, this is where we'll have our meetings and other stuff so when you have time today make an account. :D --<font color="#00008B">HINT:A AWESOME USER, <font color="#D2691E">that loves Chatango and Chatting but wonders, <font color="#00FFFF">what's with Cyan? 20:06, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

It's perfectly fine. At five we had a meeting, and the highlights were who's writing each chapter and your writing chapter five. Kate is making elimination table and now please pick two characters out of these:

•	Porsche- The Texter •	Fred- The Tweeter •	Kim- The Crazy Girl •	Artie- The Geek •	Andy- The Normal Guy •	Shelly- The Childish One (plays with toys)

SG also didn't make the meeting so don't feel bad. Out of those two characters, you'll be updating their character page every week. Besides that, the first chapter should be up soon and we will have another meeting on the day it comes out and I'll give out reminders for the meeting so everyone will be there. :P --<font color="#00008B">HINT:A AWESOME USER, <font color="#D2691E">that loves Chatango and Chatting but wonders, <font color="#00FFFF">what's with Cyan? 01:32, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Song for Julie's Aftermath segment
Here's Mad Margaret's ballad, and a video link. The video is from a made-for-TV production c.1982. (The video is pretty jerky, for what reasons I'm not sure, but the sound is OK and that's what matters.) The scene in the opera is MM's first appearance, full of over-the-top theatrical madness, and then she sings what some people think is the saddest song in the entire G&S series. The mood and tempo of this ballad are completely different from what we're use to seeing from Julie; so if she sings it, that could suggest that she's actually taking her lost love pretty hard, despite her attempts to put a brave face on it. Anyway, here are the lyrics:

thumb|300px|right|Julie's fan-mailed song of lost love

To a garden full of posies Cometh one to gather flowers, And he wanders through its bowers Toying with the wanton roses, Who, uprising from their beds, Hold on high their shameless heads With their pretty lips a-pouting, Never doubting—never doubting That for Cytherean posies He would gather aught but roses!

In a nest of weeds and nettles Lay a violet, half-hidden, Hoping that his glance unbidden Yet might fall upon her petals. Though she lived alone, apart, Hope lay nestling at her heart, But, alas, the cruel awaking Set her little heart a-breaking, For he gathered for his posies Only roses—only roses! Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:48, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

In answer to your questions:

You're right, though, I think it would work well to have Julie get the song in her mail segment but not immediately reveal the lyrics. You could, however, have her react in some way suggesting that it has made an impression on her. She could then sing it in the Aftermath episode, perhaps after insisting that she's over SG. (Her song would then show the reader that she's not.) I think, and I'm guessing that you're thinking as well, that this could give Julie a lot more depth. Fan favorite though she is, the truth is that she's been largely one-dimensional to this point. (But what a glorious one dimension!) And it's a fair bet that your readers, except for me and the talk page snoops, won't see it coming.
 * 1) Mad Margaret is sad because she loves a man who not only doesn't return her love, he doesn't even notice her. (The reasons are too complex to go into here.) In the song, Margaret is the unnoticed violet.
 * 2) I just misremembered the chronology, and forgot that it won't be the Aftermath episode where she'll be going through her mail.

Here's a link to the libretto (that's opera-speak for "script") page where Margaret first appears. The page includes several photos of actresses who have played Margaret over the years for the D'Oyly Carte Opera company, which was the company that Gilbert, Sullivan, and Rupert D'Oyly Carte founded to produce the G&S plays. I think the last photo is particularly striking. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  04:40, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your FQ nominee, the word count does include the supporting narrative and dialogue tags, but I'll let it go. You do need to take out the boldface, though. The rules state that Quotes must be formatted exactly as they appear in the story. That means no boldface or italics unless it appears that way in the story. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

Yes, that is great, but then guilt eats away at your heart... that, and I can always make the money explode if you don't hold up your end of the bargin with the bomb I put in it. :) And hey, I'm gaining edits from this too, sweet-heart. ;D Do a   barrel   roll!  01:00, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, but you see, I put in a new heart for you just now out of kindness! And not only did the money have a bomb in it, it also had the bubonic plague which... Actually would have killed you even if you held up your end of the bargain, I need to think my fail-safes out more. Anyways, you also have the plague, and I secretly sabatouged your account so everytime you make an edit it goes down one, but you see it rising instead of how it really is! ...

I secretly gave her control of Mars instead of Earth, and I gave you poision banana bread! And, you see, when my wife explodes, she destroys the universe, so if anyone tries to touch her, we all die!

Dudette! That's a huge undertaking - working on fixing the grammar in WTH. If you'd like any help at all, just ask. I'd fix the spelling and grammar, but not change anything sentence-wise, if you know what I mean. Don't get overwhelmed or discouraged with this project, though, because what you're doing is a HUGE undertaking. Awesome job, though, taking it on! JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  03:41, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Your big project reminds me of mine. I was bugged by my seagull story, in that the gull couldn't fly because he was wet. ?? So I changed it so that the same things happened but he was in shock, instead. Hopefully, you can't tell what I changed other than 'shock' for 'wet'.

Hey there Rhonda! I just wanted to let you know, I'm writing a story/show that is quite like Celebrity manhunt, which reviews, and does re-caps on wiki stories, and I did the first episode on your story TDWTH? due to it being one of my fav stories. You can find the story here: PrimeTime Drama. Best wishes!

So what is your biggest dream???... For the TARDIS to land at Hogwarts! *ChaCha* 23:08, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Basically, I was thinking I might do chapter 2, see what you think, and if you like it I'll do some more chapters. Mostly, I'm hoping to see your next chapter some day. :P :) If it's okay with you, I'll just clean it up on site, and you can see the changes on the page history. Like I said before, I'll try not to change the grammar much, unless it very much needs it, and I'll mostly just fix spelling. I'll wait for your okay before I do anything, but thanks! I'm hoping this helps you and all us folks who love this story. :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  05:59, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

This type of work is actually kind of fun for me. After I'd get my English paper finished, I'd go through it two or three times trying to polish it up. I could enjoy that because I'd see where I could improve it, and it was almost no work to fix a few words to make a sentence sound better. Writing it the first time was the hard part. XD I'm glad you like my seagull story either way. You're sweet. :) I might start tomorrow, and I hope you're okay. :P I really want you to stay on the wiki, even if it's only part time. TDFairytales is zany, and that's actually why I like it so much. TDWTH? is also somewhat zany, so naturally I like it, too. Remember? I revel in insanity? XD :P An Xmas story! :D You are very welcome. I've enjoyed every story of yours that I've read so far. How could I not enjoy them? They're funny, silly, and sometimes crazy.

I see that my DW has been helping you clean up TDWTH's mechanics. I was going to offer to do that when I got some time--it's a shame that the grammer/punctuation/etc. of this delightful story was scaring away some readers--but wifey beat me to it. She seems to be doing a good job.

When you look at her changes in page history, you may note that many of the changes fall under a single rule governing dialogue: when a dialogue tag follows a quote, the quote should end with a comma, not a period, so the first word following won't be capitalized. If the quote needs special punctuation, i.e. a question mark or exclamation point, the first word following still shouldn't be capitalized (unless it's a proper name, of course.)

Example: ''"Leave me alone." She said. and "Leave me alone!" She screamed." are wrong; it should be, "Leave me alone," she said. or "Leave me alone!" she screamed."'' Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:54, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

I just edited the first part of Chapter 3 of WTH?. I'll do more later. :) Hope you're feeling okay. By the way, when you write, "Let's", don't forget that it is a contraction of "Let us", so you squash the two words together and let the apostrophe [ ' ] replace the "u" in us. Just FYI. :) Or you can just write "Let us" if you prefer. :P JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  18:43, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

As an aside, I knew someone in college with a severe case of dyslexia, but she studied hard and did great in all the classes we were together in, so any difficulties can be overcome with time and practice. :) We studied together some, so I saw how much effort she put into overcoming her problem. Fortunately, her methods of study were such that she could blaze through her reading material almost as fast as everyone else. Also, I'm honored to help out, partially because I enjoy your story so much, but also because helping makes the helper feel good, too, especially when the helpee appreciates it. :) You're very welcome!

Voting on the Features is a good way to get your name on high-traffic pages, as well as being another way to show people that you're socially active here. Yes, I know you're already well-known and socially active, but there's no such thing as "too much" if you want to run for Featured User someday. (In fact, if you ran now, you'd probably make a decent showing, although you might not win for a while.) Besides, by voting on the Features, you can influence how the wiki presents itself to the world. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I think you've become fairly well-known, even if it's still mainly as the writer of TDWTH and the creator of Julie. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:39, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Exactly. And since people are more likely to check out stories by people they know, other things being equal, becoming better known will tend to drive traffic to your stories.

On a mostly unrelated note, when I gave you the lyrics and video link for Mad Margaret's ballad, I gave you a link to the libretto page where Margaret makes her appearence. At the time, the next page/previous page naviagation wasn't working on that site, but it is now. I mention this because the next page in the libretto has some dialogue illustrating where the "Mad" part comes from. I thought you'd get a kick out of it, because it has a lot of Julie-scale randomness. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

Just in case it wasn't a simple typo in your last message, it's "a brave song in our parts", not "a brave song in our pants". The latter would have been a little too risque for respectable Victorian theater. (It probably was just a typo, though, since you also said "The sing" instead of "They sing".)

Oh! And about TDGhouls, I think we should save that for part of our fantasy series, season 3 maybe? 'Cause I really want season 2 to be TDParody where all the contestants are parodies of someone. :3 Oh, and if you want, we can we another series more like Survior that actually takes places in a real place. :P Or something like that.

If not, I still had to fix a few things about Kim. Thanks a lot for updating Shelly! I think I only updated one. I'm having a terrible weekend. First, I get sick on Friday.

I've done the hard work on the rankings, and their placements might change over time, but just updating them isn't really work at all since I'm reading each new chapter as it comes out anyway. :) And I really like your idea of Robin and Anasi getting into cahoots together! :D JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  21:19, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

I have been watching the fourth season of TD, and for some reason I didn't spot that seagull. xD I'll have to watch it again just for that! :) And I'm really glad that I'm helping you all out with TDIdiots. I'm really enjoying that story. :) Sorry I haven't edited WTH? in a really long time, but I'll blame it on the holiday season! ;) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Lady Gideon  20:37, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thought I'd let you know that our favorite Gull is trying out for FC. xD Just FYI. :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Lady Gideon  21:24, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes all I see when I'm writing the characters, my animals, are boys and girls instead of seagulls, deer, loons, and cockroaches. You mentioned that Gull is showing character development through these stories, and I'm grateful that you reminded me that he's more than just a Gull. He's an actual character that we've gotten to know and enjoy being with. :) And Loon is just a sweet young girl to me, since I've gotten used to her wanting to wear lipstick for her "man." xD I sometimes forget how humorous it is to have a loon wearing lipstick for her guy in a story. xD

I remember still the very first time I saw that split-second scene with the loon. I stared at it agog for a moment before breaking into laughter and backing it up to be sure I saw it right. Even Gid was agog for a moment or two. xD Thanks, as always, for your comments. Oh, and you're the one busy writing the story. I'm glad you're helping to edit, too, but I feel like I'm letting you down by not beta reading for over a month. ;( JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Lady Gideon  01:14, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for voting Gull. "Skreek!" ;) I love your comments! They are wonderfully descriptive, and yours lets me know that his character is evolving. I appreciate that. To me, that means my writing is evolving, too. :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Lady Gideon  02:51, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I was adding the video of Mad Margaret's ballad to the TDI-G&S page, and a thought occurred to me. I see that you've set up a category page for TDWTH and have put the character pages into that category. FYI, you can and should also add the TDWTH category to the image files and video files that the story uses. I've already added the MM video.

You are so sweet! These are wonderful ideas for Gull! And I've already come up with some ideas, too.

For the longest time, I know, no pictures of Jenny. Or Toby or fictional-Rhonda for that matter, and they deserve pictures too! Or maybe Toby doesn't, I dunno'. Either way, going by her description in the story, and my interpretation of what "felt" right for her, I tried to draw what Jenny might look like. I like how she came out, except the "Adorable" on her shirt. I couldn't find a way to do that in a way that I liked. And she might not match your vision of what she was meant to look like, either. I dunno'? *shrugs* Frank15 17:50, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I was on the TDWTH page to bypass a couple of redirects, and I noticed that Chapter 5 has a LOT of broken links. This was a section where you made references to a large number of characters from other people's stories, including links to the pages of said characters. Many of those character pages have since been deleted for various reasons. I don't know what, if anything, you want to do about the "collateral damage" to your story page, but it's probably only a matter of time before most of those character names get reused. There's a good chance that the new owners of those names will have little or no relation to the characters you were referencing. Since none of those characters had any effect on the story, you might consider rewriting that scene to reference characters that still exist. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:44, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

I can't really say who my ROTI favorites are, because I haven't seen it yet. I've seen part of the first episode online, but that's it. (I think Wifey has seen the entire season online, but I'm waiting to see if CN airs it this summer so I can watch it on the larger screen.) I know Staci and some other characters mainly by reputation and from certain fanfics posted here.

On a related note, I wasn't planning to use any ROTI newcomers in LTDI, but I've gotten an idea for one of them. In the rodeo moose riding (episode 13, extreme sports), look for a cameo appearance by Dawn. (She may have other cameos as well, and may or may not be identified by name at some point. If she has enough appearances to justify a theme song, it will be "If I Could Talk to the Animals" from the 1967 movie, Doctor Doolittle, otherwise I'll use that song for D.J.) She will be an intern like Alejandro--not one of the original corps, but a replacement for one of the many casualties--specializing in animal handling/training, which is what will make possible the "moose polo" challenge I'm currently planning. In fact, her singular talent will prove so valuable to the show that Chris will do something for her that he doesn't do for any other intern: he will (gasp!) go out of his way to keep her alive, by seeing to it that she isn't assigned hazardous tasks.

Congratulations on taking your Driver's Ed!!! That's a big step in life. I remember how nervous I was when I took mine, but Mom and Dad had taught me very well, and I passed with flying colors! :) The written was a cinch for me, but the driving wasn't too difficult, either. As for reading the story, take as much time as you like! There's no rush. :) Also, I've broken this tale into ~5000 word bites, and I'm going to post them as chapters, which are conveniently plot changes, too! I might post chapter 2 tomorrow, and I'm busy writing chapter 4 or thereabouts these days. It's going to be a very involved story, and it's shaping up to possibly be around 8 chapters. I'm enjoying writing it a lot more than cockroaches, too, possibly because I'm not being as seriously logical about the tale! xDD Anyhow, enjoy the end of school! And congratulations on your soon to be driver's licence!

I totally adore reading your somewhat illogical stories, most notably ,What the Heck? with Julie and Fairy Tales. :D Thanks for looking forward to my Sharks' Tale! I didn't mean that I was expecting you to have a driver's license soon, but that you were working towards a driver's permit. Sorry for not saying that well. In my Driver's Ed course, we all had permits, and the teacher took us out for a spin. That was my first time actually driving on a highway, and I didn't recognize the part of the highway we were on. That was a wonderful experience, but I was of course somewhat nervous during it. The written part in getting your permit is where you answer several questions in a written test about the rules of the road, like sign meanings and what side of the road to drive on. Then comes the driving test, so you can have a license. I've been enjoying catching up on WTH?, and I hope to catch all the way up, soon.

Lana Del Rey has a truly unique voice and is totally different as you said. Also, thanks for the compliment ^^. I was bored one day and the cast pic for TDWTH inspired me to design one X3. I was also going to ask who and where your icon is/comes from. It looks familiar for some reason.  Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  R.I.P Janis  16:58, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

When I press the right click button on the top of the screen, the laptop freezes. So yeah. But I'll TTYL. :D FameFlame 20:40, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

You still on? If so, wiki chat? FameFlame 23:57, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

I saw the Edit Summary for the latest TDWTH chapter, and I'll say this: Don't feel so bad about taking a year to post 10 chapters. At the rate I'm going, LTDI will have only 7 chapters posted when it reaches the anniversary date of its official launch. (The Prologue was all alone for about a year before that, to reserve the title.) Granted, I do have the equivalent of at least 7 more chapters written, but that's mainly a collection of scenes scattered over the remaining 20+ episodes. A few of those later episodes are fairly well fleshed out now, but others have little more than a few notes.

Speaking of my story, here's a couple of Sixth Night tidbits that I've mentioned to a few people: First, it will be much shorter than previous chapters, mainly because of the cliffhanger placement. (It might not be much more than 5K words, compared to 10-12K for previous chapters. My original target range was 5-8K words per chapter.) Second, Sixth Night will have a special tidbit that the wiki has never seen from me before and will probably never see from me again: a substantial original poem. It's 36 lines of blank verse and is based on a famous Shakesperian speech. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  03:27, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

I'll keep an eye out for the G&S reference. I probably won't be able to read the chapter for a while, though, because it may be a bit of a struggle to finish Sixth Night in time for its scheduled post date. That's as may be, the poem is based on the "St. Crispin's Day" speech from Henry V. This is the speech that Henry gives to his outnumbered troops before the climactic Battle of Agincourt, which is one of England's all-time greatest military victories. Henry's speech was 50 lines of blank verse. As I've mentioned to others, my version was actually fairly easy to write because (a) blank verse uses a meter that comes fairly naturally to English; and (b) Sunshine tells me that my writing style is almost poetic to start with.

P.S.: One of the campers' mothers is scheduled to appear in the reunion chapter. My current plan is to call her Jovi, after the TDWTH character. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  04:36, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again for using the tomato worm in WTH?! :D Just a few days ago, I was lucky enough to see a sphinx moth in the front yard! We've got a wildflower crop, plus roses, that require almost no extra watering. :) Here are two photos that I took of it. You can use them however you like. For instance, in your story. :P ;) I forgot to say it, but the first photo has more of a hummingbird look to it. :)

I'm really glad you like these photos! You're welcome. :) We have a quarter-acre plot, but our front yard is mostly wildflowers. We get Goldfinches, Downy Woodpeckers, all sorts of butterflies and other insects. We also have a small Garter Snake in our front yard, and the occasional Red Fox in the small hours of the morning. Our front yard requires only occasional weeding for Bindweed, which is a pretty flowering plant, but takes over and kills everything else if you let it. Our back yard has a Black Walnut tree, which has recently died, lots of roses, tomato plants, and several little food plants including raspberry bushes and strawberries. The squirrels and birds love it, and we have a bird bath in the middle of the back yard. I'm glad you love Cosmic River, too, and I've still got to catch up with the latest chapter! :D

The sphinx never landed on the flowers, it only hovered, and it moved really fast from place to place. I've got about 5 total photos of it, but only these two turned out well. :P Have a joyous summer! :) <font color="mediumslateblue">JustLittleOlMe  Lil   Jay JLOM   Jay-Z  Jay-cobb   Jayneneh  Lady Gideon  21:51, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

I normally turn a blind eye to four or five words over. Six is marginal. Eight or nine is pushing it, although I've allowed that length in the past (albeit not before asking the nominator if a few words can't be cut). I tend to be a little more strict when there are a lot of paragraph breaks to drive up the line count, but 103 is fine in all but extreme circumstances. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

What a timely message. I was just returning to the wiki today. You can go ahead and delete it. Nad331 (talk) 17:09, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Here's another tip for dealing with apparently dead stories: when you come across an old page such as Total Fans versus Drama Favorites (which you recently marked for deletion) that have nothing more than headings, an elimination template and/ or an introductory paragraph, you don't need to give the usual warning to the page creator. If there's no actual story text or character pages, the story page can be deleted on sight. Pages like that don't even need to be a year old--six months or so is old enough. When I delete this sort of page, I will state as the additional reason, "extended inactivity, no meaningful content". If there are a couple of paragraphs of actual story, but clearly much less than a full chapter, I'll still delete on sight but say "minimal progress" instead of "no meaningful content".

As you may recall from my big rules blog a while back, nobody proposed a standard for how much content a story must have, but most of the admins agreed that some standard needs to be set. The majority opinion seems to be that having only two or three sentences (e.g. one for the challenge, one to say who wins, and one to say who is eliminated) per chapter isn't enough. If you encounter such a "story", though, I wouldn't delete it on sight. Instead, I would give the author the usual one-week notice and tell him that his story needs more content. Speaking of stories, and going from one extreme to the other, I've finally been able to start reading the latest WTH chapter. I'm currently up to the 2nd subheading. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:23, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

As I noted in my last message, I've started the latest WTH chapter. I'll post some comments of general interest on its talk page, but I wanted to mention a couple of mechanical issues here. (Praise publicly, criticize privately.)

To make things easier for the reader, you should mark unspoken thoughts in some way. By far the most common way to do this (and the method I use in my stories) is by putting unspoken thoughts in an italic font without quotation marks. This hasn't come up before because Chapter 10 is the first chapter to have a lot of these thoughts. Previous chapters used confessional spots for that purpose.

When Fluffy attacks Jovi and Linda, you said that a struggle “ensures” when you clearly meant “ensues”.

Never mind. I was reading from a copy I pasted into a Word file so I could have it in my office's breakroom, which doesn't have Internet access. As it turned out, that copy/paste operation stripped out the specialized fonts such as bold and italic. Looking back on the original page, most of the characters' unspoken thoughts were in fact italicized. There was one thought of Kynt's that wasn't, but I'm not sure what the best course of action would be on that, since it immediately follows italicized sound effects, which are another common use for italic font. As for why you didn't use confessional spots in Chapter 10 (or at least the part of it that I've read) I assumed that it was because the tone is so much darker and more dramatic that in most of the story, and confessional spots would disrupt the narrative flow. (That's one reason why I don't use confessional spots per se in LTDI, the other reason being purely stylistic.)

On an unrelated note, I noticed the edit/possible vandalism on the TDWTH page, where somebody removed the "Pajama" joke. One of the perks of being an admin is the ability to protect your article pages so that only admins can edit them. If you don't want to go that far, you can also protect them so that only logged-in users can edit them. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I've gotten through another subsection of Chapter 10. I'll comment on plot points and suchlike when I finish the chapter, but in the meantime here are a few more technical issues:

When Bridgette runs down the bouncer with the “captured” van, Jovi says it’s “A little risky, and I’m using little lightly.” I think you mean “loosely”, rather than “lightly”, since “lightly” implies a lack of real concern. Also, in this context the word “little” should be in quotation marks (single quotes, since it’s inside a line of dialogue), so the corrected line would read, “A little risky, and I’m using ‘little’ loosely.”

Chloe’s statement that the police haven’t been able capture Vito probably isn’t correct. The real problem in dealing with Mafia bosses (rumored or otherwise) isn’t capturing/arresting them, it’s coming up with enough solid evidence to make any criminal charges stick.

When Team Indestructible is looking for a vehicle to hotwire (and by the by, I’ve never seen a motorcycle with two sidecars, although I can’t say for certain that they don’t exist), Courtney and Trent rationalize commandeering the motorcycle by saying it could "save potential lives”. I think you mean “potentially save lives”, as the way you currently have it worded makes the lives in question sound like embryos or something. Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!

I can tell you about my plans for chloroforming a camper if you want, since it's a minor scene. What I can't do is tell you who gets it because it will happen (if I use it) in a late episode, and it would be a significant spoiler to disclose that a certain camper gets deep into the game.

That's why I was careful to select only team phase scenes for my previews. The latest preview was the Duncshine scene in the boot camp challenge (ep #12). The chloroform scene will occur (if I use it, which I probably will) during the scary movie challenge (ep #19). The current plan is that somebody needs to go to the loo or something and takes an escort, much as D.J. did with Geoff in the original. Chef Hatchet, posing as the killer, uses chloroform to silently take out whichever of the two seems less easily terrified (and who is conveniently trailing behind), leaving the other unaware for the nonce that s/he is now alone. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:13, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

The reason everyone ignored logic and went off on their own in the original episode is because that episode was specifically satirizing the conventions of slasher movies. I'm not sure how I'll handle that, but I'm thinking that I might have the show's staff force the issue at some point. For example, perhaps the producers have anticipated that the campers might just all sit around the campfire, and so have provided the onsite staff with a smoke generator. When Chris and/or Hatchet feels the need to kick the action up a notch, a couple of interns could turn on the smoke and thereby force the campers to abandon the bonfire site, during which they could become separated. (And now that I think of it, the dissipating smoke could be a good substitute for a thick, spooky fog.) As for your first thought on where the chloroform comes in, that would probably have been too squicky for a lot of the kids here. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

A couple of weeks ago, you marked a story called TD Westside for deletion because you thought it was a dead fic. I have removed the deletion tag because, on closer inspection, it looks like the story was finished back in 2010. On an unrelated note, Reddy has posted an admin blog that requires your attention.

Image files are normally deleted with the stories if they&apos;re not being used anywhere else. If the story is old, I don&apos;t normally worry about files because they&apos;ll show up on the Unused Photos listing (on the Advanced tab of the Admin Dashboard) and I can delete them from there. I have been snuffing old files from that list for the better part of a year now, and I&apos;ve deleted every unused file that&apos;s more than 14 months old.

I hate these last-minute pushes, but I managed to get Tenth Night posted on schedule (not that anyone appears to have read it yet). Among the notable tropes introduced in the new chapter is "Precision F-Strike". Bet you won't guess who delivers it. Speaking of tropes, if you've seen LTDI's tropes page, you may have noticed that I have something like 14 entries on the main tropes listing, and I haven't gotten past the "A"s.

Oh, thanks, Rhonda! :D I read through your stuff, and I'm really glad you did that. Even if it was just a little, it really helped. Enjoyed reading the trivia you wrote. XD Thanks!

You can do whatever you like with the tropes pages on any of my stories, consistent with the site's rules, because TV Tropes does not recognize ownership of works pages. This comes up whenever someone asks if it's OK to make works pages for their own stories--the answer is some variation of "Yes, it is, but once it's created it's not yours anymore, so don't do it if you have a problem with other people changing it." Of course, the possibility that other people can change the page is usually a good thing, because you're hoping that other people will put in examples that you missed, or examples for tropes that you don't even know.

When adding examples, you need to watch out for a couple of things. First, they're making a concerted effort to stamp out "Zero Context Examples" (ZCE). Both of the examples you added for Owen are ZCEs, because they don't say anything about why the trope fits or how it's used. To make matters worse, some of the example descriptions on my blog lists would be considered ZCEs because I wrote them before I knew what I now know about the site's policies.

The other problem with working from my blog lists is that we're not allowed to post examples from portions of the story that haven't been published yet. (That's why I removed "Farts On Fire".) In any case, I'm not sure whether Farts On Fire should go on the character page or the main listing, since it's a single incident. I also added further context (as well as a couple of potholes) to your "We Hardly Knew Ye" example for Harold. By the by, "Fartillery" didn't produce a link because, not being a proper WikiWord, the markup needed to be. I fixed that.

The examples you put on the main page look good, except that your "Wham Episode" entry might be considered a ZCE; but if you don't mind, I'd rather you not add any more to the main tropes listing until I've had a chance to do my bulk additions. I'll be able to do the bulk additions a little faster that way. The Structural Tropes folder, the Spoiler Tropes folder, and the subpages are fair game because I've done all the bulk additions for those sections that I'm planning to.

I was glad to see your comment on the writing contest blog. You'd make a great judge, and quite frankly I was starting to fear that you'd disappeared again. That's as may be, are we likely to see a new TDWTH chapter anytime soon? Pretty please? It's been 9 months since the last chapter, and over 7 months since the last significant update, which was revision of the Egypt chapter. (It's also been almost 7 months since the last TDUMV chapter, but that's always been a sideline.) I likewise eagerly await the review essays that you promised me for LTDI nights 8-10, but if I have to make a choice, I'd rather see more WTH. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  17:34, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I saw your epic review essay on Eighth Night. (Although it doesn't look like you answered the poll questions. Tsk, tsk.) Expect a response in the next day or two, since you raised points of general interest.

On LTDI's tropes page, I've made my bulk additions for A-H, so those letters are now fair game for third-party additions if you happen to notice any tropes that I missed (or am not currently aware of). In case I didn't mention it before, I removed your addition of Exposition Cut from the main tropes listing because it was already in the Structural/stylistic tropes listing. (That's a drawback of the way I've arranged the tropes listing--it increases the risk of duplication.) Since a couple of your other additions (e.g. Wham Episode) didn't have the level of context required by site policy, I added the proper context. I've also found and added a few new tropes for the TDI-G&S page, bringing its total to a respectable 21. Crosswicking to the tropes pages is going to be a monumental chore that I've barely begun, although Legacy is now fully crosswicked.

Speaking of tropes, I'll start keeping a list of TDWTH tropes as they come to mind, since you'll presumably be adding a page for it one of these days, now that you have an account. Or I could set up the page when I get time, now that I know you'll be resuming the story. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I can't help but overhear, and I can help you with that. There's a page where you can custom-name an existing page. Just set up your page without the question mark, then go to the page provided, enter that name, follow the instructions, and give thee replacement name for your work. Should be easy enough.

Writing Tropes examples
The pages for LTDI and TDI-G&S note that the tropes listing should only include tropes that aren't just inherited from the source material, so I won't be adding things like "Confession Cam". If a trope appears in the original, I don't want it on LTDI's list unless (a) I'm applying it to different incidents; or (b) I'm playing it differently than the show did, e.g. subverted as opposed to played straight or played for drama instead of laughs.

I checked out the TDWTH tropes page. You've got a good start on your tropes listing, but there are a few things that you need to watch:

Although I, like you, am at greater risk of giving too much detail than not enough, I immodestly think you can get some insight on example writing from my tropes pages, especially Legacy and LTDI. I've tried to keep the examples informative yet vague enough to minimize the need for spoiler tags. As you may have noticed, I use spoiler font sparingly.
 * 1) You're badly overusing the spoiler tags. There are several cases where you've hidden entire examples when you only needed to hide a few words, or even just a name. The TVT mods frown on this because an example that's entirely or mostly spoilered out doesn't tell the reader anything.
 * 2) Be extra careful with your mechanics--spelling, grammar and punctuation. The people who run TVT want it to be taken seriously as a reference site, so their Grammar Police are pretty strict. They have a discussion thread called Get Help With English Here (in the "WIki Talk" forum) where people can submit examples for cleanup. Tropers who have been suspended for posting a lot of examples with bad grammar (which other people then have to clean up) are sometimes ordered to run their examples throught that thread as a condition for having their editing privileges restored. You can also PM me on TV Tropes for help in cleaning up examples.
 * 3) Some of your examples have more detail than they need. (This relates to your earlier question of how much context is enough. I didn't find time to answer your question before, so I'll answer it here.) An example should have enough detail so that a reader who isn't familiar with the work (TDWTH in this case) can understand why the trope fits and how it's being used. If you go beyond that point, then you're just giving away plot points needlessly. Omitting unneeded details will also reduce the temptation to spoiler out so much.
 * 4) Tropes that are named "The X" should be sorted as if the leading article isn't there. Thus, "The Amazon" should go in the "A"s, "The Glomp" should go in the "G"s, and so on.
 * 5) When an example requires some mention of the setting, a brief description of the setting is usually better than a chapter title or number. Thus, saying "the Jersey Shore episode" will probably be better than saying "The Situation" (unless you're talking about a titling trope). Remember, your target audience is people who don't know your story (and whom you're hoping will be motivated to read your story), so that's who you're writing examples for.

Before I call it a night, I think I'll rewrite a few of your examples to illustrate the points above. I encourage you to study the changes, which you'll be able to see in the page history. Anyway, I hope this helps. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:07, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

I've made a number of changes/addition to the TDWTH tropes page. I've PMed you at TVT with the details. Going forward, I'll probably be using TVT's PM system to handle most of our discussions related to our tropes pages, since that seems the logical place for it.

ADDENDUM: The reason why your tropes page sometimes shows a "funny name" is because you made a typo when you set up the page. You didn't capitalize the "What", so instead of seeing the two words "Drama What" the software sees only one, "Dramawhat". To fix that, I think you'll have to move the page. Better to do it sooner than later, while you only have a few wicks linking to it. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:22, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

Glad to hear it, both for WTH and LTDI. I'm still behind on things, too, which is why I haven't responded to your Eighth Night commentary yet. Anyway, I was just putting out a subscriber alert when you came calling. When Gigi pulled the plug on Life After Lies, she invited her readers to imagine their own endings. I did. I posted the result on my blog page yesterday, although I actually wrote it about 18 months ago. Long story, but that's not important right now. What's important is that Gigi loved my ending chapter so much that she's declared it to be LAL's official ending. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I saw your TD School Reimagining blog. I can't really say a great deal about it, though, because I don't know the original. One thing I did notice, though, is that your eternal nemesis--homophones--has bitten you in the butt again. "Ew" is the expression of disgust. "Ewe" is a female sheep. Giving credt where it's due, you did get it right once. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:26, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

I've finally started reading the new WTH chapter. I'll comment on the storylines and events on the story's talk page, but in the meantime I wanted to mention a few recurring mechanical issues. First, you have at least one "ew/ewe" following Heather's dream sequence. (And for the record, I'm not entirely certain whether "ew" or "eww" is the preferred spelling for the expression of disgust.) You also continue to say "craving" when you mean "carving" in reference to what Duncan does with his knife. And in the Barbie/Cosmic scene, the expression is "beating around the bush", not "being around the bush". On a related note, if you don't mind my asking, are you dyslexic by any chance? "Carving/craving" is the sort of mistake that a dyslexic might be prone to. (Of course, that sort of letter transposition is also a common typing error in the general population.)

I haven't made any real progress on LTDI's tropes page lately, although I did finally get CatVoD's tropes page crosswicked. While I was at it, I tweaked/revised several trope descriptions on the TDWTH tropes page. I also haven't been able to do much with LTDI itself in the last few days, although there's not all that much left to do with the current chapter and I still expect to make the 4 May post date for Eleventh Night.

From a dramatic standpoint, Zekie's Choice would definitely be the best place for a cliffhanger, but I'm not sure it will work out because ending the chapter there might make the chapter too short. I do have another good cliffhanger spot later in the challenge. On an unrelated note, "dyslexia" is the actual name of the condition, and "dyslexic" is the adjective form describing someone who has that condition.

One way I've gotten so many tropes for my stories is that I keep my lists on a spreadsheet. (A word processor file works, too, but sorting is easier with a spreadsheet.) When I'm browsing the site, and I come across something that reminds me of something in one of my stories (or occasionally someone else's story, such as yours or Lilac's) I paste the trope name into the spreadsheet and add a brief note on where/what the trope fits. (Fleshing out the description comes later.) It also helps--a lot--that I have a highly associative memory, so almost anything can remind me of something else. Cross-referencing is what my mind does better than it does anything else, which is really what allowed TDI-G&S and the LAL-G&S playlist to happen. (Even as a teen, I was more of a walking encyclopedia than Harold.)

For the TDWTH character tropes subpage, I suggest going with what you've got and adding more tropes later as you think of them. (Just make sure the examples have adequate context.) LTDI's character tropes subpage currently has no tropes for certain characters, but that didn't stop me. Besides, you can't benefit from "wiki magic" (i.e. third-party readers such as me making additions and improving example descriptions) if the page doesn't exist. The key is how many character tropes you have altogether. If there are a lot, even if some characters don't have very many, then you should post the subpage with what you have. If there are only a few character tropes altogether, then they could go on the main listing. In the latter case, we could always split off a character page later if the main listing gets big enough to justify that.

Speaking of wiki magic, you can drive more traffic to your tropes page by adding two links here: one on the TDWTH story page, ideally just below the introductory paragraph; and one on your profile page. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  18:31, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I saw your TDWTH character tropes page. There are a few tropes (e.g. "Make up or break up" and "All there in the manual") that belong on the main page because they're not characterization tropes. That's as may be, I've added two tropes for Jovi and four for Julie. For some reason, my first attempt to do so didn't take, so I had to enter it all again.

Your example of "The Eeyore" for Nellie was a Zero Context Example because it didn't say anything about what makes her an Eeyore. I added context for that, so it's good now. Speaking of Nellie, you need another description for her in the story and elsewhere because she's not really a sad sack--"sad sack" isn't a depressed person, it's an inept person, especially an inept soldier. (The reference is to "sad sack of shit".) Popularized as the title character of a comic strip drawn for an Army newspaper, the term "sad sack" has since become generic.

An "Others" folder should do for the debuters, Chris, Rhonda, Toby/Jenny, and anyone else whom you happen to come up with tropes for. If you come up with a lot of team tropes, then you could make separate folders for them, as well; otherwise, they can go on the main page. As for LTDI's tropes, Official Couple doesn't work for Lustin or anyone else because it's expressly a canon-only trope. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

The FQ theme this month is Wild Kingdom, with eligible passages pertaining to animals in some way. In addition to nominating an LTDI passage (the lawyer joke where the sharks left Courtney unmolested out of "professional courtesy") I also nominated a passage from TDWTH--"Nellie vs. Puma" from Chapter 5. (On the FQ ballot, I called it "Depression Fu".) Keep in mind that you can vote for it if you like, since you didn't nominate it.

That's as may be, the passage had some mechanical errors, and the rule is that a quote must appear on the ballot as it appears in the story, so I went and cleaned up the story section (the 2nd half of Chapter 5) that the passage appears in. You can check the page history to see what changes I made. My guess is that you had previously been through that section, because I mostly just had to clean up punctuation. I added a number of commas at appropriate points, and I replaced a lot of periods with commas at the end of quotes that are followed by dialogue tags. The latter is a problem that you've since corrected, because it doesn't show up in the recent chapters. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

Glad I could help. I'm still planning to fix other sections thusly when I get time, but that might be a while. By the by, you may or may not have heard that LTDI's tropes page is finally caught up to the story, although it still needs to be crosswicked. Crosswicking (i.e. adding examples from the work to the relevant trope pages) is important because that's how the troper community learns that the works page exists. (I've had two people tell me that they discovered Legacy via its tropes page, and two tropers whom I don't know have added tropes to Legacy's page.) It's very important to have proper context and grammar in the crosswicking entries, though, because that's something the mods are sensitive to.

Speaking of TV Tropes, I noticed that you originally asked me for help logging in, but later removed that request. I take it that you're able to log in now? A few weeks ago, I was abruptly logged out (normally, you stay logged in indefinitely) and when I tried to log back in, the system wouldn't recognize my username. A few hours later, I was able to log back in, so it was probably a glitch at their end. If you're able to log in now, then I'm guessing that your problem was similar.

I'll try to respond to some of your thoughts in the next few days, but it's down to crunch time if I want to get Twelfth Night posted on schedule. By the by, you forgot your signature on the message to my talk page. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  04:22, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

(I know you've already read the chapter, but I thought you might like to see the notice.)

Subscriber Alert: The "Shakespeare chapter" (i.e. Twelfth Night) of The Legend of Total Drama Island is now posted. As the phobia challenge concludes, who will Ezekiel have to let die? Who will walk the Dock of Shame? How did Boney Island's giant beavers acquire their fondness for human flesh? And what was really in that casserole? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

I'm still working on responses to your recent review essays, but there are a couple of things that are better mentioned here. First, y ou said that the polls don't work for you anymore. They're obviously working for somebody, so I suggest that you ask Wikia Central about it. They might have some insight. You might also try using a different browser in case you've run into a browser-specific glitch.

From your Tenth Night review, Katie didn't lose her bowel movements, she lost bowel control. A bowel movement is the act of defecating, so in this case it's what happened as a result of Katie losing bowel control. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  19:50, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad to hear that the polls are working for you. As for the bowel control/ bowel movement issue, the reason I mentioned it here instead of on the more public story talk page was to give you a chance to correct it without anyone (much) being the wiser.

Here's a link to a picture that you might want to add to your Fanfic Villains blog. This screenshot of the disfigured Christopher Pike from the (original) Star Trek episode, "The Menagerie" is unquestionably the basis for the trauma chair-bound Scott. (From Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki. If you're not up on your Star Trek, Memory Alpha is the galaxy's largest library and figures in one of the original series episodes.) The crippled Capt. Pike is described thusly, as best I recall: "He can move [his chair] forward... backwards a little... with the blinking light, he can answer 'yes' or 'no' [one blink for "yes", two for "no"]... but that's it, Jim. That's as much as that poor devil can do. His brain is as active as yours and mine, but it's trapped inside a useless, vegetating body... He's kept alive mechanically. Battery-driven heart."

Your new TDWTH chapter is Chapter 12, not Chapter 13, unless you're deliberately skipping over 12 for some reason. Speaking of Chapters 12, I've posted a response to your Twelfth Night review. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:05, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

I have to ask, because this is getting to me: When did Heather and Staci even meet? "I find lentils completely incomprehensible." (Talk | Blogs | Contributions) 03:38, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

I've started the latest TDWTH chapter, and I have a couple of observations of the sort that I'd rather put here than on the story's talk page (where they would become obsolete after you made the appropriate corrections). First, a couple of times you said "breathes" when you clearly meant "breaths". You didn't do that in previous chapters, so I'm guessing that you knew that "breaths" is the noun and "breathes" is the verb, and that you probably would have caught it when you cleaned up the chapter later, but I thought I should mention it. Second, when you title dropped Wifey's story, you said, "It's called Beasts of Wawanakwa", but the context doesn't make clear what "it" is.

I normally let mechanical miscues in your reviews slide, because mechanics aren't as crucial in commentary as in stories, and it's usually clear enough what you're trying to say, but your latest Twelfth Night comments included a typo that I couldn't in good conscience overlook. You said, "I really hope Katie does have to do too much more suffering" when you presumably meant "doesn't". Changes the meaning a little, doesn't it? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:05, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Katie will thank you. I figured that the Beasts reference was the name of the Act (though it would probably be called something like "the Beasts of Wawanakwa Act") but I think it's better that you clarified that point. So far, I've read all the pre-challenge stuff, and am just getting into the challenge briefing. As I've noted before, I'm a slow reader, which is part of the reason why I don't read more stories than I do. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  06:45, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to reading your new chapter, although I'm so far behind it'll be a little while. Gid told me about your great reference to my story, and I'm really honored!! :D  Thanks! :)  Glad you're having such a good time writing, and I hope you're having a delightful summer, too!  :)  <font color="Lavendar">Jay JLOM <font color="Brighgreen"> Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man; -Author Unknown 06:23, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I received your well-tailored reviews, but, I've realized something a bit odd... If you liked all that for that, then it would really worry me once you start reviewing later Episodes. For example, I kinda based the first few eliminations from those on Hell's Kitchen, but then it would revert to more TD-like eliminations later on, so...

You had my heart flip, but at the same time, you made me develop butterflies in the stomach. I need something to hold on to. "I find lentils completely incomprehensible." (Talk | Blogs | Contributions) 00:28, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Welcome back, and I hope you had fun! Yeah, a lot of people have been complaining about the spoiler policy, and it's apparently a very recent change. It was a decision directly from the guy who runs the site, though, so we just have to live with it. Over the years, spoiler policy has reportedly been moving in the direction of tagging fewer and fewer things. I also mentioned the new policy to Toad, since his character page also had a lot of spoiler tags, and I'll tell you what I told him: if you have a lot of spoiler tags, or examples that are mostly or completely spoilered out, that's typically a sign that either (a) the examples have more detail than they need; or (b) you're spoilering out things that don't really need it. Both of these are things that the new policy is probably meant to discourage. More to the point, we're not supposed to spoiler out every little plot twist. You can look to LTDI's character page for an example of how to walk this line. Before I learned of the new policy, the whole page had only five brief spoiler tags, so it didn't need much tweaking.

In case you haven't heard yet, there was a major incident during your absence. Last week, Sprink broke a year of silence on the wiki to request that all of his stories, chraracter pages and artwork be deleted. (A few hours before, he sent me a PM on fanfiction.net with the same request.) Nothing's been deleted yet, except for the unfinished Worst of the Worst, but I expect it's going to happen because our policy is to respect the author's wishes in such matters. He's already deleted the stories he had on Fanfiction.net, although I don't know if he had anything posted there besides TD Boney Island, and he's even deleted--not just cleared, but actually deleted--his profile page and user talk pages here on the wiki. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  14:12, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering, how is Sprink's bombshell going to affect your villains countdown? Will you keep the (presumably several) Sprink villains on your list, or will you try to replace them? Or will you just abandon the whole endeavor? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  14:35, August 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thirteenth Night
SUBSCRIBER ALERT: The Thirteenth Night chapter of The Legend of Total Drama Island is Unlucky 13: tonight someone dies. At slightly under 7000 words, this chapter is short by LTDI's standards. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:39, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

As you may know by now, I've read and commented on your FC "acceptance speech". It reminded me of a couple of things I've been meaning to tell you about Nellie's character page. First, you say that she "only seems to see the glass half full" despite having no backstory-related reason to do so. The problem here is that "glass half full" is a metaphor for optimism, not pessimism. The corresponding pessimism metaphor is "glass half empty". The other thing I noticed (for the first time, despite having read the page before) is where you say that her peers don't like to be around her for "oblivious" reasons. You presumably mean, "obvious". Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  04:32, September 9, 2013 (UTC)

I've responded to your Thirteenth Night comments. Your wonderfully detailed feedback naturally encourages me to respond in kind.

You have 5 edits as of the writing of this notice, so keep your eye out. Anyway, on your McGuffin quests, I was looking through the long list of running gags that could be evoked (long name titles, Noah getting killed off, cheap hotels, not even getting the McGuffin), but are there any more running gags that I need to keep in mind to write the fan chapter?

I noticed your recent conversation with Wifey, and I have a coincidence-based tidbit that I think you'd get a kick out of. I don't want to tell you here, though, because it's a minor LTDI spoiler. (Not that many people are apt to remember being spoiled when the relevant chapter finally gets posted, but still.) I'd be happy to tell you on private chat, if you like. It shouldn't take long.

As you may know by now, I've edited the newletter to include a link to the talk page. Possibly because Forum pages are sort of talk pages by nature, they don't automatically provide links to their talk pages the way article pages and user pages do. Speaking of the newsletter, you did a good job. I would like to see more varied content, but that may be a bigger job than you can handle yourself, so I for one will take what we can get. Although I (naturally) found some of the interview topics more interesting than others, you clearly put a lot of work into it. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

I'm not saying I won't answer the interviews, but I'm just telling now that I MIGHT not have time to do it so I don't disappoint you later.

I saw that you deleted and restored one of Sprink's stories.

Regarding the Wiki Awards, you mentioned that LTDI has a lot of good choices for the Best Portrayal of a Canon Character category, but do any really stand out in your view? I've already nominated Ezekiel, and Sadie's not eligible because she won last time. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  07:01, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

In that case, I'm happy to let you make the 2nd nomination. Since categories with more than 5 nominations will probably be pared back before the final voting (possibly via a preliminary vote), I'm not sure that there's much point in you nominating more than one additional LTDI character for that category, although you're allowed to nominate as many as you please. Last time, the final ballot had two LTDI characters, Sadie and Duncan. I have no idea how much support either got, beyond the fact that Sadie won. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

Since you haven't logged in for a couple of days, I was afraid that you would miss the nominating deadline, so I went ahead and nominated Heather and Eva based on your observations and suggestions. I also made a couple of Comedic Scene nominations: from LTDI, Katie and Sadie bending Chris to their will; and from TDWTH, the Fun Bunch crashing a pending execution and singing Gilbert & Sullivan.

For canon character portrayal, I wound up making two of your suggested nominations instead of one because there were only three other nomiations at the time. Then Wifey went and nominated Noah, leaving only Courtney out in the cold from the four that you suggested. Although Courtney has been important to the story, I didn't want to be the one to nominate her because you already have a Courtney interpretation on the board. (If someone else had nominated LTDI Courtney, that would have been fine.) That's as may be, Wifey's nomination of Noah brings the total field for that category to six nominations, meaning there will be a preliminary vote to reduce the field to five. I'm expecting that one of the LTDI noms will be eliminated in the preliminary vote because, with four of the six nominees being from my story, support from the LTDI readership will probably be split. The fact that so many of my readers are so far behind won't help. As for the WTH scene nomination, you're quite welcome. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  23:11, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

The likelihood that LTDI Courtney would beat TDWTH Courtney is precisely why I didn't want to be the one to pit my Courtney against yours when I already had other LTDI contestants on the slate. But where did you find a "top pages" listing? I didn't think that we had any kind of visit counter available for individual articles anymore.

As for the FC interview, I normally get home from work between 6:30 and 7:00 Mountain Time (8:30-9:00 Eastern). I normally can't visit the wiki whilst I'm at the office. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  05:33, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that you left a story deletion warning on the page of an unregistered user. You won't get a response, because Wikia Central doesn't let IP users edit here anymore. (The reason is related to child online privacy rules. Many other large wikis with child-oriented subject matter have also had IP editing disabled.) Therefore, you should just go ahead and delete the story. In cases such as this, the deletion reason I use is "Unfinished story by a permablocked user", and the supplemental explanation is, "Wkia Central doesn't let IP users edit here anymore."

I saw your comment to Reddy about Taylor's new image. I think you meant "Taylor's bosom", not "Tayor's buxom". The former is the noun, the latter is the adjective. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:28, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

The adjective "buxom" implies that they're large, but the the noun "bosom" makes no implications of any kind. In fact, "bosom" can even be used for men, although that's usually done for poetic effect. For women, it's an everyday term that people aren't expected to find out of the ordinary.

FYI, that's "bated" breath, derived from the word "abate" meaning "to reduce".
