(on iPod) Hey Red, are you in charge of FQ? 'Cause I got an idea! An FQ Story voting! Users vote for a story they want quotes to be featured... Users get to only nominate their stories, and so it doesn't flood up, five stories get to be nominated. You like? :) PS: TDP won't be up soon. :( My computer's MS Word isn't working. PPS: I see you put TDP for FS. I say we wait. :\ -- Dr. Totaldramaman You want an appointment? Then talk to me. 16:14, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, thanks and :(. Btw, since I'm not on computer now, do you mind goin on my camps wiki talkpage and moving Spenny's comment to match my format? kthx. -- Dr. Totaldramaman You want an appointment? Then talk to me. 16:23, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

That sounds fair enough. Is the hero guy supposed to be buff? I need a little more detail for that pic, like facial features and such. I'll pretty much make up the costume, though. And the girl, can I make her look unlike Gwen? Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 21:13, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Let's see... That should all be fine. :) Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 21:29, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

(on iPod) Hey, Red. My apologies, no TDP until I solve this. You see; my keyboard's broken, so I can't type. And on screen keyboard; I hate it. Ideas? -- Dr. Totaldramaman You want an appointment? Then talk to me. 00:33, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

That should be alright. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 14:22, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I've copied the list of questions to my laptop so I can work on it at my convenience. Some of the questions I can answer off the top of my head, whereas others require more thought. Don't worry, you'll have it in plenty of time for the September newsletter. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 16:01, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

You recently left a note on Christina's talk page that included a "Ps" and a "Pss". FYI, the correct nomenclature is "P.P.S", not "P.S.S." (although, in the conventions of Textspeak, I would say that the periods are optional). "P.S." is short for "postscript", and 'P.P.S." is short for "post-postscript". Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 16:00, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Reddy. I was wondering if you wanted me to restore the remaining RTDI character pages, so that you don't have to add them from scratch. Let me know. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 13:28, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm working on TCC, and I was about to write in some of the new characters; Mauvedude, Darkperson. Limeguy, Pinkgirl, Yellowkid, Blueguy, and I was just wondering what their personalities were. Cards777 Ooooo, StalkerliciousXD00:01, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks! And is reddude supposed to be like Reddy? Cards777 Ooooo, StalkerliciousXD00:07, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey reddy,would you like to do a fanfiction with me?-User:lindsaysbiggestfan

It`s cool,maybe when you have some freetime or finish the story we could do one together.-user:lindsaysbiggestfan

You'll find out in a few minutes. My next post will be the characters <font color="OrangeRed">Oweguy is somewhere on Plastic Beach - <font color="LightSeaGreen">Or not  <font color="Green">Or maybe I am  15:20, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Nalyd Renrut told me who QOS is. ;) No, I am not QOS. Why do people think I am her? California gurls, we're unforgettable! Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top! Sunkissed skin so hot, we'll melt your popsicle! 22:37, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

How do I act like her? California gurls, we're unforgettable! Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top! Sunkissed skin so hot, we'll melt your popsicle! 22:40, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Reddude, I understand why you think CaliforniaGurls is QOS, but please don't antagonize her, because that would end poorly in either situation. If she is QOS, then she is achieving her goal of getting a rise out of a wiki user, and if she isn't QOS, then you just antagonized an innocent party. Please understand I am trying to give friendly advice, and don't want another QOS "witch hunt" to begin. I guess it's your call on what to do with this new user, but I wouldn't be hostile if I were you.- The Anonymous User 03:43, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Reddy, if it's QOS, don't try to get her to say it. Trust me, she'll only deny it. Anyway, just don't react, or you'll give her what she wants. Trust me on this, if you ignore her, she'll go away. Goldenshane 04:10, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

It's alright, I know that it's hard to ignore her, it's hard for me also. It's okay, Reddy. Goldenshane 13:42, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Reddy. I saw the "Adventures in Schizophrenia" FU interview that you submitted to Sunshine. (You were clearly beside yourself.) I just wanted to let you know that I am putting the finishing touches on my FU interview. It's 8 pages long, and half of that is verse from various sources, ranging from Victorian times to the time of Christ. In fact, I answer 3 questions pretty much entirely in verse. I'm betting people will get a kick out of it. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 00:45, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for saying Hi.But i wasn`t evil enough so she kicked me out.I love it how you say hi to me and i love it when other users talk to me on talkpages if there nice,which you were.But here`s the reason i was kicked out:I wasn`t evil enough.But thanks for leaving me a message

Tdifan24

Well she said that but i wasn`t evil enough.I kind of over it now.I mean i am playing in one camp you got into,the one where you play Gwen and Zekey (yay Zeke XD)And i got Geoff and Noah,and i`m in another camp where i`m Harold and maybe Courtney.Yes i`ll miss being in her RP with all the friends i had/have,and it was my first ever.But i guess your right.I`m just gonna move on.I`ll maybe come watch but not RP or check to see who`s eleminated and stop by and say hi,but my time on there i guess is no more.I had fun there and i`ll remember moments (despite me getting voted off but i wasn`t even at that episode).But we will both be in another RP and i`m glad.It`s done and over with.I`m gonna move on.Thank you for helping me Reddy

Tdifan24

Yeah,maybe we can make an alliance in that game though.Geoff,Zeke,Gwen and Noah.Weird alliance XD.But still good.I got to work on my fanfiction.Bye bye

Don't worry, I was about to do same thing. To oppose, you NEED a good reason. That wasn't a good reason. XD Goldenshane 10:51, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

A Featured User interview like no other
At long last, here it is. The main reason it took so long is that I wanted to include a couple of links that weren't available yet. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 19:42, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 *  Excited for the interview? 

It is my desire, it is my wish

To set out to sing, to begin to recite,

To let a song of our clan glide on, to sing a family lay.

The words are melting in my mouth, utterances dropping out,

Coming to my tongue, being scattered about on my teeth.

Beloved friend, my boon companion, my fair boyhood comrade,

Start now to sing with me, begin to recite together

Now that we have come together, have come from two directions.

Seldom do we come together, meet one another

On these wretched marches, these poor northern parts.

Let us clasp hand in hand, fingers in fingers,

So that we may sing fine things, give voice to the best things

For those dear ones to hear, for those desiring to know them

Among the rising younger generation, among the people which is growing up,

Those songs got about, those lays inspired by

Old Chris McLean’s false tongue, the depths of Eva’s fury,

The point of the knife of Chef Hatchet, a man with a far-roving mind, the range of Duncan’s bow,

The remote corners of Wawanakwa’s fields, the heaths of the Muskoka District.

These my father formerly sang while carving an ax handle,

These my mother taught me while turning her spindle,

Me a child rolling on the floor in front of her knee,

Miserable milkbeard, little clabbermouth.

There was no lack of songs in the Dock of Shame, nor did Heather lack magic charms.

In the songs the bonfire grew old, in the charms Lindsay disappeared,

In the lays Cody died, Bridgette in her frolics.

There are still other songs, magic words learned of,

Plucked from the wayside, broken off from the heather,

Torn from thickets, dragged from saplings,

Rubbed off the top of hay, ripped from lanes

When I was going about as a herdsman, as a child in cow pastures,

On honeyed hillocks, on lovely knolls,

Following dusky Blackie, going along with spotted Frisky.

The cold recited me a lay, the rain kept bringing me songs.

The winds brought another song, the waves of the sea drove some to me.

The birds added songs, the treetops magic sayings.

These I wound up in a ball, arranged in a clew.

I thrust the ball into my sled, the clew into my sleigh;

I pulled it home on my sled, on my sleigh to the threshing barn,

Put it up in the storehouse loft in a round copper box.

For a long time my lays have been in the cold, housed in darkness.

Shall I pull the lays out of the cold, draw the songs out of the frost,

Bring my box into the house to the end of the long bench

Under the fine ridgepole, under the lovely roof?

Shall I open my chest of words, unlock my song box,

Clip the end off the ball, undo the knot in the clew?

Thus I will sing a really fine lay, intone a beautiful one

Out of rye bread, barley beer.

If no one happens to bring any beer, serves no table beer,

I will sing from a leaner mouth, intone on water

To gladden this evening of ours, to honor this memorable day

Or to delight the morrow, to begin a new morn.


 * --from The Kalevala (compiled by Elias Lonnrot, translated by Francis Peabody Magoun, Jr.)


 *  What was your first thought when you became a Featured User? 

I thought, “Yes! Now I can make my 1,000th edit something truly extraordinary!” The prospect of using my 1,000th edit for my “acceptance speech” was, in fact, the main reason I cared whether I was Featured in July, or August, or September. (Had it taken much longer than that, I might have started to feel like a TAU-style perpetual bridesmaid.)


 * Which of your stories, finished, in-progress, or in-production do you think the wiki will enjoy most?

Well, Legacy was lightning in a bottle. In addition to introducing the wiki community to my writing style—a style unlike any other seen here before—Legacy has a level of emotional power that, quite frankly, I hadn’t thought my writing capable of. Because it was my first story, and was such a huge success (the first short story to win Featured Story honors, among other distinctions) it will surely be the story that every other story I ever write here is measured against. Early success can be a mixed blessing that way.

That said, I do have one story in development that, if reader reaction to the previews is any indication, has the potential to be as big a hit as Legacy was. That story is my TDI reimagining, discussed more fully below.


 *  What is your favorite story/series to read on the wiki? 

My preference is generally for noncompetition stories with canon characters in the central roles. As with almost everyone else here, Gigi’s signature story, Life After Lies is a favorite of mine, and I also have a high opinion of the After They're Gone collaboration. Nor shall I fail to speak well of TDIRM’s one-shots, for that is the story form where I think he is at his best.

Recently, I finally found the time to start reading a few competition stories. My favorite type of competition story is the TDI reimagining, and my favorite of these is Kgman04’s reimagining, Total Drama Island...? My favorite original-character competition story, at this point, is Total Drama the New Challenge, by UltimateTORINOR, partly because the level of descriptive detail is a big help in keeping the characters straight. I routinely support both stories on the Featured Story ballot.


 *  What do you think you are best known for on the wiki? 

Being the longest-lived and most cleverly disguised of the QOS sockpuppets. *revives fainted Admins with smelling salts*

Seriously, though, I’m best known for being different. There are just so many ways, from writing style to demographics, that I am like no one else here. My writing style, which Gigi has called “elegant” on more than one occasion, helped to put me on the map, and I tend to apply the same style to such mundane things as blog comments and talk page posts. (And, naturally, to this interview.)

Most of my differences are related, in one way or another, to my status as the only registered Old Fart on a kid-dominated wiki. This means, among other things, that I was brought up in a different way and my life has different reference points. For example, I remember what life was like before the Internet, which didn’t come into widespread use until I was in my 30s. I even remember what life was like before things like VCRs and cable TV, neither of which became common until I had reached adulthood. I remember, from the days before we could time-shift TV programming, how I would hurry home from high school so I could catch the 4:00 start of the Star Trek reruns.

So, how have I thrived here as the demographic outsider? By treating the kids here as equals and by not trying to hide my age.

There’s an old adage that states, “If you want to be respected, you have to be respectable.” If I had tried to pass myself off as a teen, I would eventually have been found out, and people would probably have thought that I was a pedophile or something. Instead, I was very upfront about my Old Fartness and became a respected elder statesmen. Furthermore, I gained that respect, not be demanding it as some sort of birthright, but by earning it through my conduct and my writing.

That said, there may be some here who are uncomfortable with my “special” qualities. If there are such people here, they haven’t gotten on my case; they’ve merely avoided contact with me. That’s their prerogative and, if I may be so bold, their loss.


 *  Which user(s) inspire you the most to write fanfiction for Total Drama island? 

That’s a bit of a trick question, in a way, because writing fanfiction was not my original purpose in coming to the wiki. Originally, I was going to become a registered user for one purpose, and one purpose alone: to promote my crossover, Total Drama Island, by Gilbert and Sullivan (TDI-G&S). Because TDI-G&S (pronounced “Tiddigus”) is heavily hyperlinked to other sites and retells the canon story arc instead of offering an original plot, it is as much a work of scholarship as it is a story.

Then, one day, whilst working on TDI-G&S, I suddenly had an idea that became the premise for Legacy. The rest, as they say, is history.

I have, however, written two things for the wiki that were expressly inspired by wiki users: Gigi in one case, and the Courtney haters in the other.

Gigi was one of my first close friends on the wiki, so much so that my correspondence accounts for almost half of her 2nd archive. When Life After Lies became only the second noncomp to be enshrined as a Featured Story (back in April), I honored her achievement by drawing from the TDI-G&S verses to create a Gilbert &amp; Sullivan playlist for LAL. Originally consisting of 15 songs, I have since expanded the playlist to twice that, and I expect to be adding even more when Gigi posts LAL’s remaining chapters. (Will there be selections for every new chapter? Regrettably, I can’t promise that.) The playlist currently has over 70 minutes of music.

Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, I have read several Courtney-bashing stories, and I found them uniformly dreadful. As I have noted elsewhere, there’s nothing inherently wrong with having a single character suffer a string of misfortunes, since most comedy is based on the misfortunes of others. (How many readers’ hearts were made glad every time something unpleasant happened to Heather, especially in Season 1? Let’s see a show of hands!) For most people, though, such mishaps can quickly cease to be funny if it seems that it’s being done viciously, and viciousness is the common failing of the Courtney-bashing stories I have read.

Perversely, the execrable quality of these stories is what inspired me to write my own. I wanted to show the Courtney-haters (and other character bashers, for that matter) how it’s done, so to speak. I wanted to show them that they can beat on their favorite punching bag, if they must, in a tasteful way and without sacrificing story quality. The result was Courtney and the Violin of Despair, scheduled for completion on 6 September.


 *  What do you plan for the future, near and far, for on the wiki? 

For the immediate future, I will continue posting the wiki version of TDI-G&S. Posting one episode chapter per week, the scheduled completion date is 31 October. This may be a moot point, though, because now that the full version is available for download, I suspect the wiki version won’t be getting nearly as much traffic as before.

I also have a behind-the-scenes role on the writing team for Spenny’s brainchild, No Boundaries: A Wikia Pokemon Story. Because my knowledge of the Pokemon universe is limited, I won’t actually be writing chapters. Instead, I suggest ways to improve phrasing, word choice and descriptive color without changing the essential character of my teammates’ writing. I have always been better at refining than creating, and this “copy editor” role plays to my strengths. Spenny and co. are also planning to use some of my ideas for working in TDI characters and references.

For the more distant future, my TDI reimagining, The Legend of Total Drama Island (LTDI) is my main project, and my progress has been promising. I now have most of the elimination order set, I have some idea of what I want to happen in nearly all of the episodes, and I have a number of finished scenes.

I have posted the Prologue to reserve the story title, and my best guess is that LTDI will officially launch in Spring 2011. The launch date is distant for two reasons: first, my defense against writing myself into a corner (as well as my defense against writer’s block, Sunshine Syndrome, and related ailments), is to not start posting a story until I’ve finished writing it; and second, my sports photography takes a great deal of my time in the fall and winter.

Given my strengths and weaknesses, as noted above, I expect LTDI to follow the original more closely than some reimaginings. Indeed, one of my most important early changes merely corrects a continuity lapse in the original. As with the premise of Legacy, it is a minor change with far-reaching effects. (Another early change, though, is a major departure.)

For the most part, the players who will get deep into the game are either (a) those whom I feel the most comfortable writing for, or (b) those whom I have a specific need for in one late episode or another. How well I liked a given character in the original actually has little bearing on how far that character will go in LTDI.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, LTDI will have a couple of structural elements that, as far as I know, nobody has used here before. This is in line with the tradition of the wiki’s writers breaking new ground with their first competition stories. I also expect that LTDI will be quite long, because my writing style is so description-intensive. (I don’t expect it to be as long as Ult’s story will eventually be, but it may come close.)

In addition, I expect LTDI to make certain references to the wiki’s users and content. I’m not actively trying to think of such references, but a few have come to mind unbidden. Currently planned references include one of Sunshine’s characters (who is mentioned by name, and who may even appear in one scene), one of Spenny’s stories (also mentioned by name, although there is no reference to the content), and a certain pixie remarkable for culinary specialization. I also have ideas for a couple of LAL references, including a parody of the torture scene.


 *  Where’s Waldo? 

Hereupon we’re both agreed, *conspiratorial wink-wink-nudge-nudge*

All that we two

Do agree to

We’ll secure by solemn deed,

To prevent all

Error mental.

You on Sunshine are to call

With a story

Grim and gory

How this Waldo died, and all

I declare to,

You will swear to.

Tell a tale of cock and bull,

Of convincing detail full

Tale tremendous,

Heaven defend us!

What a tale of cock and bull!


 * --W.S. Gilbert, The Yeomen of the Guard

* speaks normally* Waldo lies at the bottom of the river Thames, may God have mercy on his soul. I left him there after his ill-fated attempt to escape from the Tower of London, where he had been in residence after being condemned to die for having dealings with the Devil. It all came to pass thusly:

thumb|300px|right|Waldo's Fate

* cues music*

Like a ghost his vigil keeping—


 * Or a specter all-appalling—

I beheld a figure creeping—


 * I should rather call it crawling—

He was creeping—


 * He was crawling—

He was creeping, creeping—


 * Crawling—

He was creeping—


 * He was crawling—

He was creeping, creeping—


 * Crawling—

Not a moment’s hesitation—

I myself upon him flung,

With a hurried exclamation

To his draperies I hung;

Then we closed with one another

In a rough-and-tumble smother;

That fiend Waldo and no other

Was the man to whom I clung!

After mighty tug and tussle—


 * It resembled more a struggle—

He by dint of stronger muscle—


 * Or by some infernal juggle—

From my clutches quickly sliding—


 * I should rather call it slipping—

With a view, no doubt, of hiding—


 * Or escaping to the shipping—

With a gasp, and with a quiver—


 * I’d describe it as a shiver—

Down he dived into the river,

And, alas, I cannot swim.

Ingenuity is catching;

With the view my King of pleasing,

Arquebus from sentry snatching—


 * I should rather call it seizing—

With an ounce or two of lead

I dispatched him through the head!

I discharged it without winking,

Little time I lost in thinking,

Like a stone I saw him sinking—


 * I should say a lump of lead!

Like a stone, my boy, I said—


 * Like a heavy lump of lead.

Like a stone, my boy, I said—


 * Like a heavy lump of lead.

Anyhow, the man is dead,

Whether stone or lump of lead!


 * --from The Yeomen of the Guard


 *  What is your favorite character to watch on Total Drama? 

The Season 1 Gwen. I didn’t like the way the Season 2 writers defanged her and, as I write, she hasn’t done much in Season 3, although she seems to have regained much of her original attitude.

Other favorites include LeShawna and Izzy. Eva is my favorite minor character (what can I say? I like girls) and I was disappointed when the writers turned her into a one-joke character. Chef Hatchet is my favorite male character, and #3 overall behind Gwen and LeShawna. I like the Season 3 newcomers much better than I thought I might, although they’re not likely to ever be among my favorites.

Conversely, the characters I like least are the Season 2 Courtney (I have no serious objections to the Season 1 and Season 3 versions), the Season 2 Duncan (Season 2 DxC is a match made in hell) and Owen.

I rank Owen so low mainly because he was so heavily overused in Seasons 1&2. For example, I don’t automatically object to bathroom humor, for which Owen is the show’s go-to character, but I do think that a little goes a long way. Most of his other running gags didn’t age much better. With his excesses toned down in TDWT, I would probably rank the Season 3 Owen somewhere in the middle.


 *  Sad the interviews over? 

And now the measure of my song is done:

The work has reached its end; the book is mine,

None shall unwrite these words: nor angry Jove,

Nor war, nor fire, nor flood,

Nor venomous time that eats our lives away.

Then let that morning come, as come it will,

When this disguise I carry shall be no more,

And all the treacherous years of life undone,

And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music,

The deathless music of the circling stars.

As long as this is the Eternal Wiki

These lines shall echo from the lips of men,

As long as fanfiction speaks truth on earth,

That immortality is mine to wear.

I hadn't really though of including No Boundaries, precisely because my role is behind the scenes (although I did write Gideon's character page).

Reddy, thanks for your support of TDI-G&S on the FS ballot. While it may not win this month, I have high hopes that it can win one of these days.

On a related note, I see that you're planning to do a formal review of CatVoD. Nayld has authority over the review committee roster; so if you haven't asked him to join, you need to. With your wiki credentials, though, I seriously doubt that he would turn you down. When you write the review, you need to put it on a blog post (unless you hear differently from Nalyd) so the Story Reviews menu can link to it. I suppose an article page would also work, but all the existing reviews are on blog posts.

I see that you have also signed up to do reviews for the Newsletter, so here's some advice that Sunshine recently gave to Radicalm on that topic. Whereas formal reviews should probably be of stories that are either finished (like CatVoD) or well-advanced, Sunshine suggested that reviews for the Newsletter be of recently-started stories. She also suggested that Radicalm do brief reviews of multiple stories, as opposed to reviewing a single story. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

That way, when you first mention the curse, you won't have people unfamiliar with the story saying, "Curse? What curse?"

As you surmised, I've just been busy. And now that you mention it, we haven't talked in a while, have we? You did comment on my Halloween blog, as I recall, but I didn't really have a relevant response at the time. In any case, my lament about not having any fanarts for my stories was mainly meant as a gentle reminder to Sunshine. She had previously forgotten once about the Legacy fanart she had promised me some 5 months ago, and I feared that she might have forgotten again. (Delightful girl, but we all know how distractible she can be.) Anyway, she apparently hasn't forgotten, as you undoubtedly saw on Gigi's blog.

If you would like to draw something for one of my stories, I'd be delighted. I won't make a specific scene request--use whatever inspires you. Legacy would probably be the best subject, although the scene at the end of Desperate Measures (where Becky is holding her cat and crying whilst the cat sucks her earlobe) would also be a good subject. As for my other finished stories, CatVoD has some scenes that might be good fanart subjects, but doesn't have anything that really cries out for a drawing; and "Dragon Queen" isn't really visual at all, since the whole story is nothing but a phone conversation.

If you choose to draw a scene from Legacy, I suggest waiting to see what Sunshine does, since I didn't request a specific scene from her. (If I'm going to have two fanarts, I'd prefer that they not both be of the same scene.) I will say, though, that one scene I would particularly like to have illustrated is the scene from Chapter 1 where Heather enters the lodge and sees the flowers on the table.

If I have to make a choice, though, what I would like even more than a fanart is the "official" review of CatVoD that you have promised. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 06:14, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Not only will your review get CatVoD onto a sidebar/dropdown menu (when the admins get them working again) but it might prod others on the committee to start doing reviews. In any case, don't rush it just to meet an arbitrary deadline. Given a choice, I'd rather have it good than fast. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

TDS Character
Hello, you are receiving this message because you were accepted as a character for Total Drama Stardom on September 18, 2010. I have begun drawing all of the Total Drama Stardom characters, however, I would like you to leave a message on my talk page stating exactly how you would like your character to look (hair style, hair color, skin color, tops, bottoms, accessories, facial hair, etc.). Please send in these appearances no later than November 27th, the earlier the better! Thank you for reading.

CatVoD Review
I see you've started with the CatVod review. While I'm glad to see action on that matter (and I'm hoping that it will help goad the other Review Committee members into action) I have a couple of comments. First, and most important, I think you're assuming too much on the part of the reader. So far, your review seems to be geared to people who have read the story, but the real purpose of a review is to let people who haven't read the story know whether the story is worth their time. (Your aborted first review was actually better in this regard.) You don't need a lot of detail to do this, but you should tell the reader what the story is about. For example, before you get into the chapter-by-chapter review, you could simply say that the story is about Courtney having a violin that bears an ancient curse, or that Courtney's violin is haunted by the spirit of a former owner, or something along those lines.

As a matter of form, it's best to mention the story title and author (with full username and/or a link to the author's User page) before starting the actual review. Also, I don't recommend talking to the author in a review. If the reviewer talks to anyone, it should be the reader.

One other thing that isn't actually about the quality of the review, but does bear mention: regarding the D string symbolizing death, I must confess that you give me too much credit. I am aware of the Japanese superstition surrounding the number 4 (the Japanese word for "four" sounds like the Japanese word for "death"), but the real reason I chose the D string is that it's an inner string--a violin has four strings, as you may know--and I thought that a missing inner string might be harder to work around than a missing outer string. The "death" connection is just a happy coincidence.

I hope these pointers help, not only for the CatVoD review, but also for any other reviews you may write in the future. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 05:58, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

I see you've been busy reconstituting the library menus. I also noticed that the "More Classics" menu has disappeared entirely, and I was curious as to what is to be done with the stories (including VH and LAL, among others) listed thereon. On these and related matters, I have a few suggestions.

First, we should probably fold the old "More Classics" libary into the "Classic Stories". The latter still wouldn't be excessively large. My understanding is that the main reason for the separate "More Classics" menu was that only the first 7 or so items showed up as separate sidebar entries under the old Monaco skin. That, however, is no longer an issue. (R.I.P., Monaco.)

Second, although LAL is undeniably a wiki classic, I suggest that it actually belongs on the "Current Favorites" listing (for now, anyway), because it's still in progress.

Third, I would like the admins to consider adding a couple of stories to the "Where to start" section on the front page. Perhaps a couple of more recent stories, to balance the old stories that currently dominate the listing. I suggest Legacy and Total Drama Island...? because, in addition to being popular and widely regarded as being of exceptional quality, they represent story categories (short stories and TDI remakes, respectively) that are not currently represented in the front page listing.

Well, "ask and I shall receive". It's nice to have working library menus again, but I would like to bring up a couple of points. First, we currently have LAL on two menus (Classic Stories and Current Favorites) and I don't think we really gain anything with that duplication. It should be one or the other--probably Current Favorites, as I suggested before. Another story that I would suggest moving from Classic Stories to Current Favorites is Total Wikia Elementary.

My second suggestion is to alphabetize the lists. This isn't critical, but I think it would be helpful. The former "More Classics" list was alphabetized, and the "Modern Classics" list was alphabetized until Total Drama Island...? was added. The original Classic Stories list was never alphabetized because it used to be based on visit counts, and the Current Favorites list was never alphabetized because new stories were always added to the end of the list. (The front page listing was also alphabetized until Legacy and TD Island...? were added, but that's not as big a deal. In fact, it might be worthwhile to arrange the front page list by story type.)

Thanks for supporting TDI-G&S and CatVoD on the FS ballot. I also saw your comment when you withdrew your support from Nonny's story, and I appreciate the sentiment. As it turned out, Shane stepped right in and brought TDLA back to 4 supporting votres; but if your move ends up stimulating additional voting, well, that's not a bad thing, either. Voter turnout has been terribly light the last couple of months. Endurance's win last month, with only 4 supporting votes, tied an unenviable record set by TD Isle when the wiki community was much smaller than it is now. This month, turnout has been so light that even CatVoD has a real chance. (I have been nominating CatVoD to publicize it, with no real expectation that it will ever win, but thanks again for supporting it.)

Speaking of my wikiversary, Sunshine has told me a little about her Legacy fanart, although I won't see it until the rest of you do. One reason it's taken her so long is that she says it's relatively complex, with "extensive background and...a bit of foreground as well." She mentioned in passing that it will have both Duncan and Heather. She also mentioned "Heather's shirt", which sounds like a "present day" scene, as opposed to a flashback scene.

There's no shame in snooping talk pages. A lot of us do it, especially when wiki activity is slow. Something I once mentioned to Sprink (I think--it might have been Spenny) when he was feeling guilty about snooping: if we weren't meant to snoop talk pages, why would Wikia's default settings add them to our watchlists? Besides, it's no secret that talk pages aren't private. On a related note, I have noticed (during those period when the Visit Counter is actually working) that my Talk page tends to draw a lot of eyeballs. That's the "price" (if that's what you want to call it) we pay for being among the wiki's better-known users. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!

You're gonna have to ask the people who took them, but Shane for sure is using his along with Kenny. As long as Zoe, Frankie, Versailles, Khourey, and Clara aren't deleted, I don't really care. :) 03:02, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah. Sorry about that, I see a lot of pages for characters in upcoming stories, when the original story isn't even in the final 5, but go ahead and delete them, it's OK with me. I'm pretty forgetful today. XD Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly! 21:40, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Chapter 4 of Total Drama China is up. Please comment on the chapter after reading. Also, could you update the elimination table. Thanks and hope you like the chapter.-user:lindsaysbiggestfan

Write-off
Curiously, I was just on the forum page announcing the write-off. I don't think I care to enter, because I'm not confident in my ability to come up with story ideas regularly enough to be competitive, but I'd be happy to judge/critique for you guys.

A couple of thoughts on the Write-off: First, if you don't want script format, maybe you should include that in the rules, although it doesn't hurt to mention it in the descripton of the challenge round as well. Second, it sounds like the purpose of the preliminary round is to determine seeding, with the first round of the tournament proper pitting #1 against #16, #2 against #15, and so on. If that's the case, you might want to say so explicitly in the heading for the preliminary round, to be sure that the constestants know what's at stake in this round. I'll write that bit if you like, or you can. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 16:41, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I have a question regarding the Write Off. Do the stories have to be TDI themed? I'd assume this is the case, but you didn't specify anywhere. -- Hey, it's Anonymos! Hurry up and say hi!It's nothing illegal! I swear! 18:51, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Reddy. Just wanted to know, is the wiki project still around, and if so, when will it start? Also, what's up with the pokemon sprites you're uploading? Just curious. XD Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly! 19:51, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Reddy, I had an idea for your Total Drama Trainers, that just popped into my head! When a team goes to elimination, the two people who recieve the most votes go into battle with their pokemon whoever wins continues and whoever loses it OUTTA HERE! lol it would help your more evil characters to get further without having to write some big far fetched story like "(Insert Name Here) is gonna get eliminated because he sucks at challenges rather than (Insert Name Here) who sabotages our whole team" xD just for example....it was just a thought! -- Comistrip2000talk 02:30, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Reddy, Total Drama China's newest chapter is up. If you could, can you update the table. I highly hope you enjoy the chapter. One more question, why were you once called Redmanger, just out of curosity.-user:lindsaysbiggestfan

I'm sorry to do this, but I'd like to drop out of the Write Off. My life is too complicated right now to have to worry about writing anything other than my fanfiction, and I'm doing so well with that, as it is. XD Somebody else can take my place, if there's anyone that wants it. -- Hey, it's Anonymos! Hurry up and say hi!It's nothing illegal! I swear! 12:53, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Pash Faux-Back from the dead...
Hello Reddude. :)

I logged on for the first time in months today. I appreciate the minor concern shown by you on my talk page. lol

As I explained on my profile, I am taking a creative writing course, so I thought it would be a good idea to log on back onto a website dedicated to writing. :)

Nope. I actually live in Michigan, which is pretty close. I've been there, many times, though. Do you? Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly! 23:00, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Sorta expected that. XD I was just hoping... Ah, never mind. Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly! 23:06, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

ADD MORE TALK PAGES!!!!!!!
''(Singing): 'I Wanna Be Famous'... ''

Okay, It's me, creator of Claire Sullivan again! I really want people to add more talk pages to my character and ask questions like: 'How long have Chris McLean and Claire Sullivan knew each other?' or 'Why did Claire accuse LeShawna of being violent?' At least COMMENT on her! Well, I don't want to curse you out like Lindsay did to Heather, so, I'm just going to leave it like that! COMMENT OR ASK QUESTIONS ON MY CLAIRE SULLIVAN... TO A TALK PAGE!!!!

Anywayz, Byeas!

Hey, Reddy, can my character Max, debut on Total Drama Wiki Project? Um... What? 20:39, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Reddy... I have to drop out of the Write-Off. This is ironic and prophetic, but I thought I could juggle WoC, the Write Off and my schoolwork. However, the amount of the third one has skyrocketed as of last week. As of now, my days of being able to park in front of the computer are done. Something had to give, and it was the Write-Off. I think it would be a better idea to hold it in the summer, and perhaps then I could be a judge, who knows?-<font color="Lawn Green">I know you <font color="DarkKhaki">little libertine.  <font color="SteelBlue">I know you're a cannonball  01:18, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Reddy. I was just wondering, since you're not doing Total Drama 8s anymore (or any story) can I use Marigi for something? xD Thanks. Gotta get pants! Go get your pants! Button, fly! 14:57, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

I was leaving notes for some of the Write-off contestants, reminding them to have their seeding stories in by today. When I got to TDIRM's page, I saw your note that you might postpone it until June. Whatever we decide to do, I think we need to make/announce a formal decision soon.

To be honest, I could use a postponement until at least mid-March, although that's not a requirement. I'll find time to read/judge these stories on whatever time frame may be required. One possibility to consider is that we tell the contestants to get their seeding stories in when they can, and wait until June to start the tournament proper. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!

They're better than Nalyd's original ones but I can't say anything negative to Nalyd due to him being one of the greatest users on the wiki. I think mine have improoved a lot since I drew the TDTourism characters. They're almost like Sprink's but there's no way any of us can be as good as Sprink. Except for Sunshine.
