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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks... I guess. It sort of boosts my spirit. Sure a lot of people choose Toadwagon over Crystal Clear, but hey, I've done the best I can... :,( Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 20:30, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

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

Ya, I was gonna ask Redster on the chatango to delete it today, but I forgot, and he's gone now. I'll ask him tommarow, thanks for the reminder.  WARNING:  This user has a 100% chance of awesomeness! 03:53, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

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

By the by, I posted a response to your kind comment on my blog. Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 20:27, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I got your message on my talk-page. I'm glad you saw my comment. And I don't mind waiting a few days for the LTDI response. Rhonda the stalker fan! 03:15, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Gid, I was just wondering what that one thing was that was By the way but like by the by or something, XD.-- Ken zen   Elev  en!  15:32, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

A Request...
Gideon, I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. I've just finished Chapter Two of WoC, and I definitely could use some editing.

Thank you for all of your hard work! It might take me a little while to get to the rest of the parts since I'm super busy right now, but I've already skimmed them and you've improved on so much!

Thank you for your continued support, Gideon. And I hear what you're saying--it's just that life is hectic for me at the moment (with college concerns and my Eagle Scout project), and as such I simply don't have the time I once had to sit down and write. Hopefully that will change soon, but until then, I could always get lucky, right? UltimateTORINOR And the quest for the Ultimate continues... 01:39, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your support, and I apologize for replying late, but I don't plan to consider TDL for FS until it is finished, mainly because I'll be taking a bit of a hiatus after TDL finishes and it's (possible) sequel begins. <font color="CadetBlue">I need a change, <font color="DimGray">and I need it fast!  <font color="Navy">I know any day could be the last.  15:26, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

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

Oops, right. I forgot. XD Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 22:35, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! I appreciate that you're reading it. Alexander was meant to be more crazy than anything, so I'm glad that's working out! As for Zubin... you'll see in a few chapters. Goldenshane 10:51, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I guess I lucked out this month... I guess I'll be FU at last (not that I'm bragging). However, what happens next? Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 22:43, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

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

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

Cool! Well, let me know when you've finished; I'd love to check it out. ;) Barbie... eat your heart out.♥ 14:54, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

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

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

Thanks for the information! I appreciate it! In my own little word, they all know me there... 00:49, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gideon I really need your help. So I made a page and did what you said to do about headings and it didn't work!!!!!!! And the trivia is messing up. The first trivia dot keeps popping up at least a space away from the triva thing and everytime I backspace it goes back down when I preview it!!!!!!!!!! And these li things keep appearing!!!!!!!!!!! I think they have to do with the bullets!!!!!!! Please Help :( Hiding Oreos in her bra. 01:39, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

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