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

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Sprinklemist (Talk) 04:44, February 8, 2010

Uhh... welcome to the Wiki! I've read both chapters of Legacy, and you seem like a great writer. It's always great to have a new author here, despite the age (We do have two users over the age of eighteen, one of them hasn't been on in a long time though.)

I'd recommend commenting on other stories on the site via their talk pages in order to get your name out, and henceforth, the number of people who read your stories. Speaking of which, some good fics on here are: Life After Lies, by Fadingsilverstar16, all three of Sprinklemist's competition fics, and my one-shot Violet Hill, which people say is good, even though I don't think so.

Really? Fake Souls? I quit doing that a long time go, but hey, you're more than welcome to write a chapter for it. Also, I'm going to have a one-shot of my own done maybe by... I'd say Thursday or Friday, in case you're interested. Tdirm- Semi-Legendary  Mockery!   NIRVANA EVERYWHERE!  12:08, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Gideon (can i call you that?) I find it interesting that I sorta guessed/ wrote some part of Legacy, as I wasn't thinking of it at the time. Im glad you contributed to Fake Souls, and you can call me Reddy, or just Red, since it is rare I'm called RD. But, i hope you keep writing! And can you add yourself as a friend of mine on my user page? :) Reddude 22:58, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to welcome you to the wiki! I'm sure we'll anjoy many fanfics from you! :) Nalyd Renrut - Legendary  Snipe!  Master of epic pwnage 23:24, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

They're just there for "warm fuzzies," as you put it. Don't worry if you don't add them as a friend. Nalyd Renrut - Legendary Snipe! Master of epic pwnage 03:12, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Fadingsilverstar16, but you can call me Gigi. Welcome to the wiki! I find Legacy very, very intriguing. You're style of writing is very unusual for this day and age. It almost sounds as if you're from century, and I don't find that to be a bad thing. There's a sense of elegance to it that one day I hope to achieve with my own writing. You know, you could be writing books. If you would allow me, I'd like to ask you a bit more about your writing, but only if you want to. Again, welcome and I hope you have a good time here! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  04:56, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ummm... sure, I guess. Thanks for your opinion, I find my writing style so undetailed to me that I don't get how people like it... must be just me. Anyway, that TDI reimagining you talked a bit about in Legacy, is it coming to this site? I already have my hopes up that Courtney might actually win a competiton for once...

Thank you! Don't worry, I don't intend to bombard you with a mountain of questions. I think my writing's incredibly ameteur (I just know I'm doing something wrong), so if you have a few tips, I'd be glad to hear them. Also, what drew you to this wiki in the first place, and what do you think of the fanfiction here? -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  07:06, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. Thank you for creating that story. Thing is, could you give me some tips? I have gotten a lot better than what I first started, but I still want to get better. Alo, are you planning on doing a competition fic? I think you'd be good at it. If you need someone to draw those characters, there are a lot of great artist out there.

Argh! I hate it when I do stuff like that. I knew it meant big size, but I saw the term used like that, so I then assumed it could also mean of great quality. Tdirm- Semi-Legendary  Mockery!   NIRVANA EVERYWHERE!  16:55, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

That's okay, I fully understand. :) Goldenshane 19:10, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely give those title suggestions some thought, and I'll have to check out that "Fake Souls" chapter you did. Also, I'm very grateful that you checked out LAL and the rest of my stories, and would love to know what you think of them (I have a sinking sensation that it might fall into the "why-did-they-bother" quality category, although that just might be me). And yeah, I do tend to prefer noncompetition fics to competition was, so I know where you're coming from. Again, thank you for your answers! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  05:34, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

A writing class? Cool, I'd love to participate. Cultural fondness for big things? *thinks of SUV's of yore, McMansions, and food portions* Yup, that's right. Anyways, what exactly do you think ofmy writing style? Too bleak? Chokingly purple? I really want to know. Tdirm- Semi-Legendary  Mockery!   NIRVANA EVERYWHERE!  21:13, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

the sky is blue because of the amount of water droplets. xD Ill be sure to come! I really need tips toimprove my writing a bunch (i can say im not very good) and hopefully give a couple tips! ^^ Reddude Has... [| Waffles!! :)] [| and SYRUP!] 21:22, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ello, Gideon. I'm Spenny, and it's great to "meet" you, LOL. -- ☆ HERE'S SPENNY!!   Oh wait, I gotta go!   Cya(n)!  21:32, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Question and example works, it does get the job done, xD. Grasshoppers... never heard that term before. Does it mean friends or something? (I'm only 14, xD) I would love to join! BTW, I don't think anyone here is an expert at writing professionally. That's kind of why we're here. xD -- ☆ HERE'S SPENNY!!   Oh wait, I gotta go!   Cya(n)!  22:53, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Oh okay. Thanks for the explanation of what you meant by Grasshoppers. -- ☆ HERE'S SPENNY!!   Oh wait, I gotta go!   Cya(n)!  23:11, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

-Yeah, the confidence thing is something I've been needing to work on. v.v But in complete honesty, I definitely don't want to look like I'm fishing for compliments all the time, so I'll try to improve in that department. I have a book called the Writer's Personal Therapist that I seriously need to read all the way through. So thanks for that comment. I needed that. ^-^

-I'll be happy to take whatever comments you might have for Screwed or anything else I've written. The more the merrier!

-And about the rest of what you said, I agree. The Courtney hate I've seen from this fandom is baffling to me. She was never really my favorite character, but I don't hate her and never will. I'll be interested to read "Courtney and the Violin of Despair".

-I'll go read that blog post right now! Thanks! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  05:53, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

I added you, sorrt Gideon, I was planning on adding you sooner. XD You were always planned to be there, though! I just, procrastinated. XD Goldenshane 13:26, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'd be happy to participate. I'm sure there's more than one thing I can still learn, but for me there's a few things that could be achieved by the younger writers here, that I've noticed. Anyway, it can be really encouraging for your first story to receive positive feedback. That's what happened for my first story on here, and that helped me want to keep going.

Thanks for the suggestions! If you look on LAL's talk page, TDIRM and I have made an entire LAL playlist (which really needs more songs added to it). There's voting for the official theme song on there. (I'm currently rooting for Arrival to Earth, which is my second favorite song in the whole world. My favorite song is Rebirthing, which is also an option, but I kind of get a kick out of LAL having a theme song that doesn't have lyrics.) Your song suggestion certainly is interesting, though! I've never seen anything like it, and it really does fit the Organization. Thank you so much for the offer to write a fic out of them, but I think I'll have to take you up on that a little later.

I'll tell you a secret. You see, I've been playing around with the idea of doing a complete rewrite of the whole story (once it's over, of course) with new characters, a revised storyline, and a more fleshed-out, developed world. Do you think the idea is original enough to actually make a book, or is it unrealistic? -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  17:01, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
