I'm aware of that --- I was just making the page so I could edit it later. Apologies for recklessness. :P BocaJ is Here!  I love all human beings!The only thing I hate is hate. 23:59, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, no problem. I just didn't have time to post any description at the moment when I made them... One question: I'm trying to edit them now, but the editor is blank. I mean, I can't edit the page at all. Any explanation? BocaJ is Here!  I love all human beings!The only thing I hate is hate. 00:12, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. :) I really am sorry about this; I wasn't trying to save any names or anything, I just didn't have time to do anything else when I made the pages. BocaJ is Here!  I love all human beings!The only thing I hate is hate. 00:16, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. :) I appreciate your help. I'm only putting a minor little amount of content on the pages for now, but I should be able to add more sometime later today. BocaJ is Here!  I love all human beings!The only thing I hate is hate. 00:23, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

If you're basing the image off of the old Griff, then some mildly flamboyant, fairly gaudy clothing should be in order. I don't have a huge preference regarding his swimwear and sleepwear, though. I trust you know what you're doing. Thanks for asking!- The Anonymous User 14:26, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

That's cool, and FYI: Suzanne should actually be rather tall, considering she is a basketball player. I picture her as being about 5'9" or so, whereas Griff is a few inches shorter than that.- The Anonymous User 03:17, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Tell me what day and I'll add it. :) --HINT:A AWESOME USER, that loves Chatango and Chatting but wonders, what's with Cyan? 02:48, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I did see the message but I forgot to reply to it. I've really been struggling with Paint.net when I try using it, again. If you really want me to help on it, I can try, but I don't feel like anything to great will come of it. Let me know if you still want me to try, and I guess I will.

Well, I look at actual backgrounds and combine components. With SAI you can add layers, and basically draw behind the character aspect of the image. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 13:51, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

You could try that 'starburst' thing I did with one of my 'unused' character images. If you want. As for the sleep/swim, I usually wing those or base them on the character's personality. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 18:52, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

I made the initial star, and then I used the smallest pixel pencil to draw that flame around it. I did it on MS Paint, though, so there might be a better way. XD <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 19:05, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Check my past blogs for that particular blog asking for character ideas. It's not too late to suggest it, but I prefer you post it on there, a sopposed to my talk page. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 17:40, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

My main concern in raising the question of whether we should allow OCs to have canon names is the potential for them to be confused with the canon characters, especially if one of these (such as your character Sadie) is ever put on the Featured Character ballot. My main point, though, was about the naming of character pages. The rule is that any character page for a canon character must include the story initials, so I think it would be grossly unfair to allow someone to usurp a canon name (e.g. Sadie) without a story identifier for an OC. In fact, I think a character page for such a character should include not only the story initials, but something to make it clear that the page is for an OC, and not for a canon character. Something like, for example, Sadie (OC) (TDG). As for the new Season 4 characters, yes, I think that existing OC character pages using those names should be retitled to avoid confusion. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--

The link isn't that much harder. People who reuse names (canon or otherwise) do it all the time. Using again the example of Sadie, everyone else--and I do mean everyone else--who uses that name has to do this. Why should you be privileged above all others, given that you weren't even the first? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  03:05, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

The reason it's never been an issue is because it's been an unwritten rule that we don't do it; and although you might not have actually asked for special treatment, that's the effect. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill; but to me this is in part a fairness issue, which is why I feel so strongly about it. Fairness is something that I will. Not. Compromise. For any. Reason. Whatsoever. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  03:26, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

There are meaningful differences between two people using the same non-canon name and someone using a canon name for an OC. Your argument is therefore based on a logical fallacy called "false analogy" (for an analogy to be valid, there can't be even one significant difference), and fails for that reason. For one thing, there has never been a rule, written or otherwise, against multiple people using the same non-canon name. It's true that many writers don't like to reuse names, but that's strictly a matter of personal preference. In any case, the first person to use a non-canon name doesn't have to use a story identifier, while everyone who uses it later does, if only because the wiki software doesn't support multiple pages with the same title. That's fair--"first in time, first in right".

It's different with Season 1-3 canon characters, because the only reason the wiki software even allowed you to create a page titled "Sadie" (with no story identifier) is because of our rule that all character pages using canon characters must have story identifiers. Without that rule, the title "Sadie" would have been taken years ago. In other words, you appear to be exploiting a loophole--using the letter of the law to defeat the purpose--for selfish gain. In effect, you're placing your own story above the canon. That would be bad enough from any user, but for an admin to do it sets a very poor example.

The reason reuse of non-canon names isn't a problem is because--especially with common names--few OCs become iconic enough for reuse of the name to cause confusion. Not so with canon characters (or at least the Season 1-3 canon). If someone checks out a story on this wiki, and the contestant list includes someone named Heather, the reader is probably going to expect to see the canon Heather, and may feel cheated if she's not present. I know I would. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  04:45, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "open" names. If you mean names that nobody's used before, then how can any canon name be considered "open"? Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  03:43, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

If that's all it means, then why would you want "Sadie" in the first place? That name, as with all canon names, has been used many times by many people. The name may be "open" in a purely technical sense, because of a loophole in the wiki's rules, but not in any realistic sense if you think names have any actual significance. The reason you've given for wanting "Sadie" appears to be contradicting itself.

On a related note, please understand that this argument is not, and has never been, about you personally. I just think that you haven't thought the implications through, and that you don't seem to understand how it looks. You've said that you don't mean to place your story above the canon, and I'm prepared to believe that. My point was that it may not have been your intent, but it is the effect.

Blogging Problem!
Hey.... there is a problem with my blog post Total Drama Island YOUR WAY. When i hit edit, the post is in source mode. When I try to change it to visual it tells me that rich text editor is disabled. Can you help me? Tommyboy97 20:29, November 9, 2011 (UTC)Tommyboy97Tommyboy97 20:29, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

I'm on special chat. :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  04:10, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, you can. -Koops

That would be amazing Kenzen. :D I do not plan to do those myself. Dante was wearing his glasses as Missy. Here's who was who: Alexandria was Audrey II. Audrey II was Dante. Dante was Missy (with his glasses). Doyce was Stevie (I imagine him with red body hair [looking like yarn], as well as the beard, but if you want to try it as black, go ahead). Missy was Alexandria. Sebastian was Doyce (with the sunglasses). Stevie was Zane. Tsuyoshi was Sebastian. Zane was Tsuyoshi. Thanks, Kenny, if you feel you can do this. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 15:08, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Bwahahaha. That's amazing. I like it, a lot. XD I imagined them in wigs, I guess, but I'm impressed that you remembered to shave his head. It's not a big deal, but it was only mentioned that Zane had on a Tsuyoshi wig. I look forward to more. I'm guessing I can put these on the different pages as you do them. Thanks, so much. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 19:44, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Kenzen. They all look great, so far. There is a tiny white splotch on the bottom of Alexandria's neck, not to be critical or anything. XD <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 19:20, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Just do it normal then. If it didn't look like yarn but was stated to supposed to look like yarn by the tag, it really wouldn't make a ton of sense to me. Just make it look like Stevie's body fur and try it in red (Doyce's hair color, specifically) first, black if you don't think it looks right in red. <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 20:25, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

sup I'm going to be using those pages. That's cool right? -- Wassup? Talk to me!Yep! 01:55, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

Since Im going to write my story, could you please restore gregg. He is one of my characters and was deleted. It would be really awesome if you did :) -- Wassup? Talk to me!Yep! 23:37, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hey! Your chat message finally popped up! Come talk! :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  04:46, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

Even if Fan finds out about Blaine, he can't do much. And I know you didn't rip him off, so maybe their characterizations will be much different. :P JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  06:38, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

I just figured you'd gone to bed! I'm up for Chat. :) JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  05:49, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

I love Christmas Teddy!! He's adorable! Thanks for sharing! :) Your mom is going to love him, too. If you can, take pictures when she opens it. :D Have a glorious day! JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  08:00, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I just finished watching it, and commenting. I hate it when the computer freezes like that, but you got over an hour on. We'll miss Shock, too. JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  20:29, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kenzy! Sorry I missed you on Chat. New ep? JustLittleOlMe Lil   Jay JLOM   Mrs. Gideon  03:25, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was you who used to have the Allison page? I know it's deleted, so I was planning on moving my Allison there, but I just wanted to check with the original owner to see if they planned on using it again before I did so. Also, is there any specific policy on moving character pages to new names that opened up? I'm assuming anybody can do that for their own characters? For example, I wanted to move Eric (TDI:FYE) to just Eric, since the page has been deleted. It's okay that I'm doing that, right?

Aw, that's too bad about her being deleted. I remember her being a pretty cool chick. :) And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't mind doing the moving. The only two I have are, like I mentioned, Allison (TDI: FYE) to just Allison and Eric (TDI: FYE) to just Eric.

That always stinks when you have to cut characters. Whenever I had to cut a character for anything, they always ended up showing up again in another one's personality. And I wasn't sure if we've ever talked before, so it's nice to officially meet you. I'm Freefalling Lilacs, but feel free to abbreviate that in whatever way you want. It's a pretty long username compared to most. And thank you so much for moving the pages! I'm going to right off to updating any links.

Total Drama-wise, I only have TDI:FYE so I know where you're coming from with the one story only thing. I'm too disorganized to do more than one. It always takes me forever to figure characters out. I don't know how others just kind of come up with them and keep them. And breakthroughs are always a good thing. XD FFL or Lilac is usually what I'm called around here, so I'll just stick to that. :) Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Because forever <font color="Navy">is not supposed to end... 05:49, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
