Hey Sunshine, I started a fanfic about sonic characters at camp wawanawkwa and had no idea that you had already made that. Is it okay if I continue, or do you want me to stop? I'm semi new so I had no idea.Reddude 21:24, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

I was just thinking... You should so post Chibi Kendall for featured image, here. Just sayin'. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 01:33, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

...I'm in shock. I mean...wow. There are no words to describe how much I love it. NO WORDS. I'm literally sitting here at my computer with my mouth hanging open. I mean...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK! BEST INTERNET PERSON EVER! I want to stare at it forever.... FOREVER. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  21:55, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree, that's kind of how I imagined her hair, too! Everything is perfect. The cross-hatching is beautiful. I mean, wow. This completly takes my cover art and blasts it sky high! Wow. I just...wow. And of course! Please nominate this! I was going to wait for a little while, but I'll go ahead and put LAL back up for FS whenever you decide to nominate the picture (because it's my totally selfish sooper sekrit dream to have both LAL and it's cover art featured together, except this time it won't be my crappy cover art for it, it'll be your gorgeous picture). I mean...I love it!! -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  22:12, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okay then, I just wanted to know. Whatever LAL things you draw, I really want to see. Like really bad. (Bwahaha I'm now imagining beautiful pictures of a couple scenes that I really cannot wait to write, and I'm so walking on sunshine right now. xD) How long did it take you to draw that, anyway? -- I sing the song of the fading  silver star...  01:24, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Sunshine, I was wondering if I could use Christian McLean, and Sunny D on a special in my fanfic, Red Talk, they would break into the party, tie reddude up, and host a special. What do yoiu think? No pressure, i just thought of that as a really cool special. Please give me an answer when you get this! :)Reddude 15:18, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Yahs! I am your friend :D and don't forget to annoy Nalyd for his birthday

I think they should. That way people who try to post chapters on separate pages can't use "Ex" as an excuse for them to do it. I'm not sure what the reason was for them being on separate pages was, but if you're willing to put them o one page, that would be great. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 23:41, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

I guess they are kind of long, but just a bit longer than TDR or TDT (at least early) chapters. If you plan on doing a ton of chapters for it, maybe we could figure something out, but for now they should be on one page. Thanks for doing it... Eventually. XD Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 23:47, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sunshine, I don't mean to be a bither-bother (XD), but I remember you saying that you only follow stories from the beginning, so since my third season is starting soon, I was wondering if you'd read it. It's okay if you don't wanna, though. -- Hey, it's Anonymos! Hurry up and say hi!It's nothing illegal! I swear! 17:58, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Sunny! I talked to Nalyd about writing the next TWE chapter, and he said yeah, as long as you and Zekey are okay with it. I don't think he talked to either you or Zeke yet about it, so I'm asking you now if that's okay. =D -- D J   Spen  star!  22:22, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

Cool. I'll ask Zeke when I get the chance to. =D -- D J   Spen  star!  00:07, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Sunshine! A while ago, I got a TWE chapter idea!

...OK, so the entire thing is a spoof of WALL-E, titled Chimm-e. Chimmy and the class volunteer for the school clean-up project. (Though Stephen was forced too due to his various misconducts.) Through a various twist of events, Chimmy gets the class to come check out the science club's project, a rocket. They end up blasting off into space, and land on the Space Colony ARK. Tdifan takes command of the vessel, with Nalyd serving as her right-hand man. Sunshine and Matt explore the ship alone, having fun just being random. The other characters can intervene at random moments or whatever, I didn't have much planned for them. Chimmy loses her Shadow balloon, and ends up getting pushed into an escape pod, but is to stupid to realize it's in self destruct mode because she is fawning over the fact that Shadow might have been in the escape pod. She somehow manages to escape alive, however, with Stephen believing her dead. Chimmy, however, is only concerned for her Shadow balloon, and Stephen pulls it out of his back pocket, which results in a hug from Chimmy, which the entire class is there to see, (Greatly embarresing Stephen.) After some of the classmates teasing Stephen for it, Nalyd rebels aagainst Tdifan, accidentaly sending the ship off course. Chimmy and Stephen attempts to calm the rest of the students down, but Nalyd also sends a large barrier at the two. Chimmy manages to stop it, allowing the students to escape, but in the process, her Shadow balloon pops. Chimmy falls into a depression, even thuogh Tdifan manages to defeat her nerd counterpart and send everyone home. The teacher dude, (Spacing on his na,e) gives them all detention for missing class. During detention, Chimmy walks in crying. She is sitting next to Stephen, who pulls anidentical Shadow ballon out from behind his back, and gives it to Chimmy. She cries, but this time they are tears of joy.

How about it? Can you feel the rhythm in my heart,  the beat's going   düm tek tek!  01:33, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

KK! Nalyd helped me come up with the idea, but I'll check with him anyways. (Don't tell anyone, I'll just copy-paste the description XD) Can you feel the rhythm in my heart,   the beat's going   düm tek tek!  19:51, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

The much enjoyed Total Drama Reality (By Sprinklemist) came to an end with someone (I wont say who won) winning, the final chapter was an awesome course type challenge. I thought the ending was well written and shocking, Go read it again and again here The Finale. In other endings Return to Total Drama Island ended (I personally have not read the fic, but I did read the finale just for this) the final chapter had the final three quit and had the 14 picked for the next season go read the finale now Here.

Hi, Sunshine, “old man of the wiki” here. Since we haven’t been introduced, I invite you to check out my User page if you haven’t already. I’m a little different from most of the folks on this wiki, in more ways than one.

I’m told that my writing style is unlike anyone else’s here. Gigi called my style “19th Century”, and I’m not sure she’s far wrong. I have two stories (both noncomps) currently posted, and one of these has been so warmly received that I am getting requests for tips on writing style. I am very much hoping that you will deem that story worthy of your considerable artistic talent.

On a related note, I will be hosting a “writer’s workshop” on my blog page when I get some time. If you would like to participate, whether to learn tips or to offer tips or both, we’d love to have you. The more, the merrier. Gideoncrawle  Sing me your song, O!

I'm glad you liked Legacy so well. You are the second to suggest that it was professional-quality stuff. (Gigi said, in pertinent part, "You know, you could be writing books.") As I mentioned before, I would love for you--probably the wiki's best artist--to do a fanart for it someday. (No hurry, you understand--it's not like I need it for a competition story.) As for your assessment of the worth of your remarks, my understanding is that you are one of the wiki's big names; so while a pixie you may be, I wouldn't go calling you "random".

Hi. I randomly felt like saying hi to you when I saw you on. :) Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 22:09, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Any manga/anime stories for me? I left one on Tsuyoshi's talk page. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 22:30, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

O_O I can't believe you read it, too, as I know one other person that does, and he borrows mine. Isn't it awesome? I love how it gives glimpses into the lives of people who have negative/ignorant behavior so you can see where they're coming from. That's something I try to do in my writing. I also love it for raising awareness on things. As I try to, too. Though, I wrote that way before discovering the series. How far are you into it? Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 23:08, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

I discovered it at Borders on a day when I could just sit and look through manga. They didn't have volume 1 at the time so I waited to get it later. I'm interested by autism, and kind of have trouble understanding/feeling comfortable around people with disabilities. It's helped me grow in that regard. I'm reading vol. 6, which is the latest volume in US. There are 14 in Japan, and two Japanes volumes make up 1 in America. One more to go in the U.S. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 00:26, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Your "different" artistic style (or styles, since you seem to be adept in several) is precisely what appeals to me. You'll recall that I, too, have built my reputation on a distinctive style, so we have that in common. On a related note, is it premature to suggest that we go onto each other's Friends lists? I see that you use the more common "gatekeeper" model, wherein people ask for admittance. I use the less common "open door" model, wherein people add themselves as they will, although I have also appended my own comments in some cases. Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O! A wandering minstrel, I--  03:02, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

The cliffhanger of volume six made me O_O. If you read it, you should know what I mean. XD Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 23:00, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I haven't yet had a chance to read any of your stuff, although I plan to eventually. Due to other demands on my time, I have had to stick mainly to short pieces, although I have started a couple of longer works. The longest stories I have read in their entirety ("entirety" meaning "as much as is currently available") are Gigi's LAL, the "After They're Gone" collab, and TDIRM's "The Penthouse" (which strikes me as essentially a sci-fi version of LAL). I have started "Total Drama Infinity", and like it well enough that I will probably continue with it, but my preference is generally for noncompetition stories with canon characters in central roles.

It probably won't surprise you that you aren't the first to ask me for a critique. Indeed, since good story ideas rarely come to me (the idea for "Legacy", as I mentioned on a blog post, came from out of the blue) mentoring activities such as critiques, story reviews, etc. are likely to become my main function on the wiki once TDI-G&S is posted. Although it may take a long time, I intend to accommodate everyone who asks.

On a related note, the Writers Workshop may be in for a significant delay. I will be making a blog post with details.

One last thing: if you win Featured Author this month, as now seems likely, I will eat ravioli with chopsticks in your name. (I will also be doing something for Gigi if LAL wins FS.)

Hello. So, for from now on, for any admin posts I think it would be a good idea for the non-admin users to be able to give suggestions, too. Instead of (Admins Reply Only), we could say (No Roleplay or Off-Topic Discussion). I guess a few users feel like they can't let their voice be heard. How does that sound?

I fulfilled my pledge at luncheon last Saturday, honoring your recent achievement by eating ravioli with chopsticks in your name. (It's not all that hard, but you don't get much of the sauce that way.) Granted, this isn't as grand a gesture as whipping up a specialty playlist like I did for Gigi; but still, I figured you'd appreciate the thought. Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!

I have written TONS of stuff on the Total Drama Couple Talk Page, so please with ravioli on top look at them.

P.S - I heart ravioli. People say they don't like it to annoy me so I hit them with sandwiches. '''MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! EVIL SANDWICHES!!!! '''XD I wrote a sketch for TDC on the TDC page, so please look at it.

Hi, Sunshine. Just in case you haven't been on the wiki the last couple of days, the Writer's Workshop is now open for business. It has been so successful that (at my suggestion) Sprink will be doing one of his own in the near future. Whereas mine focused on elements of writing style, his will focus on things like character development, because that's his area of expertise. Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!

Hello fellow TWE author. Zeke and I were talking, and I had an idea: After third grade, we skip to seventh grade. Zeke suggested a clip of the fifth grade graduation between the third and seventh grade.

This evening, my DW and I went out for a Mother's Day dinner with my parents. When I saw the entree, "Shrimp and Scallop Florentine Ravioli", I immediately thought of you.

Everyone loves Nalyd... XD Did you ever see the show Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends?

Master of epic pwnage 21:37, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Great! I think my idea is pretty simple, and I already sent it to Shane, but he hasn't followed up on it. She's an actress, but more like a gothic Renaissance Faire type than a movie star type. She wears very flashy, but still dark, clothing (Feathered black dresses, fishnet leggings, heavy eye makeup etc but NO dark nails (sorry, I don't like dark nails, it's a thing of mine)), dyes her hair blood red, and has an evil smirk on her face. I picture her as being "hauntingly beautiful", if you know what I mean. Thanks for doing this!- The Anonymous User 00:05, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I knew you don't eat meat, but I wasn't sure about shellfish, since "meat" means different things to different people. For my ravioli entree (no chopsticks, by the bye--been there, done that) the scallops were on top. The filling consisted of ricotta, spinach, and (allegedly) shrimp. The shrimp must have been ground and blended with the cheese, since I couldn't detect it by texture. I actually couldn't taste it, either, on top of the other flavors; but because I have no sense of smell to speak of, my sense of taste is probably less acute than most people's.

Do you avoid meat out of some philosophical commitment, or do you just not like the taste? The former is much the more common, but I have encountered the latter. Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O! A wandering minstrel, I-- 01:58, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

I love the pictures you made! They are fantastic!! I agree with you about 3 and 4; they are the best of the bunch. Maybe you could color those in with how I described and I'll see which I like better. I like Chihana as a name, but she is not Japanese in origin, so I will use the name I had planned for her, maybe with "Blood Flower" as a nickname or something.

Hey Sunshine! I don't mean to bother you, but I was wondering how my "blood flower" character image was coming along? Believe me, you can take your time, as I am in no rush to upload her, but I haven't heard about her in weeks one way or another, so I figured I'd ask for an update.

I'm going to make an animation based closely off of Total Wikia Elementary and post it on the page. I'm an okay drawer, but not great, so I want to know if I could draw the pictures and you could copy them and make them in your cool cartoony way. You don't have to, but I figured you might like to. If you want to see a picture of the main characters, look at the talk page on TWE. Schwine  is the only one   who hasn't had the swine flu.  19:31, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hi, Sunshine, welcome back to the wiki. Not being the keenest observer of such things, I often don't notice when people disappear from the wiki, unless I'm actually trying to contact them; but I did notice your absence. (There, don't you feel special?) Anyway, on your blog post you asked what you had missed. I didn't want to answer you there, because it would have been a little too advertisey (is that a word? Well, it is now), but I've been up to a great deal. You got the Cliff's Notes version if you read my (updated) FU "stump speech". You can get more detail, if you like, from some of my recent blog posts. I have also added a couple of new sections to my User page (Stories in Development, and Milestones).

By the bye, did your brother tell you that Legacy won FS this month? (It's the first short story to do so.) I asked him to tell you because I thought you would want to know, and I didn't know when you would be back. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 05:39, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You is back for good? Yay! I look forward to your stories (and *koff* comments on mine). I've been adding profiles for my fourth main story, Total Drama Wilderness. What have you been up to? Read any good manga (that we secretly share in common)? Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 20:08, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hm... Lemme think. I'm reading Kobato, Mixed Vegetables, and Kimi Ni Todoke at the moment. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 20:49, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I love that one. I'm on volume seven, so one more to go. I lend my manga to my friends, so I'm the only one who likes it a lot (but they like it). I like a lot of stuff about it. I like Shoujo better than Shounen, though. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 20:57, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I never realized there was confusion. I always assumed she was female, and only realized there was an issue when the mangaka mentioned it in like volume four. XD I read Kitchen Princess, too. o_O I'm only on volume three, though. I like the mean girl best (is her name Ayane?). I like Shoujo as it's more story and comedy than action. I also like Josei (like With the Light) and Seinen, too. Sprinklemist Cyan is the new green. 21:56, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanxs,it took some time,but im glad you enjoyed it!:D-User:Lindsaysbiggestfan

Around the time we first "met" about 3 months ago, I made a couple of requests. There was (and is) no hurry; but since you entered an extended period of relative inactivity soon after, I wanted to be sure that you hadn't simply forgotten.

My first request was that we go onto each other's Friends lists. Granted, it's pretty clear that we're friends, even if we're not Friends, but I just thought I'd remind you. (I did, after all, eat ravioli with chopsticks in your name.) Note that my Friends list uses the "open door" model, wherein people add themselves as they will, rather than asking to be added.

My second, and more heartfelt, request was that you do some artwork for Legacy at your convenience. Ideally, it would be something I could link to from the story page (with a proper illustrator's credit, of course). I mention this now because chances are looking good for your LAL fanart to finally win Featured Image this month, in which case you will probably be wanting to put something new onto the FI ballot.

Hi, Sunshine, I thought you might like to know that I am doing my part to give the September newsletter plenty of content. Reddy has given me the questions for my Featured User interview, and I have begun working on my responses. It currently looks like I will have 4 full pages, maybe more. (Be honest, now: you expected nothing less from me, right?) Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 03:45, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

No, you hadn't mentioned your opinion of my avatar. Others have expressed approval of the fact that I now have one, but only IzzyK had previously commented on the specifics. (I don't really need to tell you that she liked it, do I?) Its only limitation is that it comes from an evening scene, so it's a little hard to make out detail. If you would like to see it in more detail, I use the same image (albeit cropped differently) for Izzy's headshot on her TDI-G&S character page. By the bye, do you recognize the scene? Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. I think it captures Izzy's personality nicely, and it also nicely reflects my own status as a proudly strange person. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 03:27, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, we're "Special", all right, and I'm sure most Wikians wouldn't have us any other way. My avatar screenshot comes from the beginning of "Hook, Line and Screamer", when the campers are watching the slasher flick. The line for this shot is, "He's coming out of the woods with a big, hacky chainsaw!" A few frames later, she balls her fists and declares, "That's so cool!" By the bye, (Pedant Alert) the literary convention is for the titles of short stories, TV episodes, and suchlike to be enclosed in quotes, rather than italicized; whereas the titles of novels, TV series, and so on are italicized. (In the days of typewriters, those Bronze Age gadgets I grew up with, such titles were underlined.) Thus, it's Total Drama Island, but "Hook, Line and Screamer".

Sunshine, where are you? D: It's been a week. Btw, you have 1999 edits. You're (makes a small circle with fingers) thiiiiiiis close to 2000! :D xD -- Dr. Totaldramaman You want an appointment? Then talk to me. 21:27, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Guess who's back?-Matt/Zeke

Hi, Sunshine, I have a question of some importance. I don't want to "steal" your 2,000th edit, so you can either shoot me an e-mail with your answer--my wiki profile enables e-mail from other users--or have your brother relay your answer. Anyway, here's the question: may I use Christin McLean in LTDI? I had planned almost from the beginning to mention her by name because she ties in with the "Legend Of" part, but I'm now thinking that she may actually appear in one scene. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 21:13, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I would like to know if I can start a new feature starting in the November newsletter called "Nad's Two Question Interviews".-Nad331

I have given Reddy my FU Inteview. It's 8 pages long and includes three questions answered more or less entirely in verse from various periods. Yes, I'm strange, but that's what you love about me. (Well, that and my mad writing skills.) Gideoncrawle  I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 20:07, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Since Reddy hasn't given you my FU interview yet, I have added a video to it. I don't think anyone's done that before. By the bye, I got your answer to my question. Clever girl. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  23:54, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Gideoncrawle's Epic-ly Unique Featured User Interview!

 *  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.

Finally, back to regular chat! XD
Sunshine, I know you're planning to do a story update with your 2,000th edit, but I have another suggestion you might consider:

Keep a close eye on the Featured Story voting. With no clear pre-race favorite, this has been a wide open election. Reddy has withdrawn his story (which had been leading with 7 votes) and has thrown his support behind Violet Hill, which now leads with 6. However, 5 other stories (including my own TDI-G&S, although I would defer to VH in the event of a tie) currently have 5 votes.

With no high-profile competition story finishing up, this may be Violet Hill's best chance, and I know you have a high opinion of that story. So, if the month end comes and VH needs your vote (and if you are willing to support only one story, instead of supporting several like you usually do), putting VH over the top might be a worthy task for Edit #2,000 if you haven't already posted your story update.

New Story Premiers
So this is my first ever contribution to the newsletter. I wasn't quite sure whether "new stories" referred to stories published since the last newsletter or stories that will start by the November newsletter. So I'll do both. Bear with me here. First, there have been an overabundance of stories in the past two months, too mmany to name here. I thought I'd name some of the most popular. First, Gideon's started his Courney bashing story Courtney and the Violin of Despair. Also, you shouldn't skip Fanny's Total Drama Road Trip, not to be confused with Nonny's Total Drama: Road Trip, which is on hiatus.

Next up, the upcoming stories. Of course, Sprink has more tricks up his sleeve with the sequel to TDTT: Total Drama Super Powered. And also just around the corner, Nayld has a new story coming. It would be nice if I could remember the name, but, alas, I have an extreme case of laziness and cannot bring myself to search for it.

Well, that's all for this time. Remember I'm new to this and, please, go easy on the criticism.

It happened, Sunny. *sighs* I lost TDAuthor for the second time in a row at the same point in the game... WHY???????????//?////??? ;( (sorry if this sounds like a rant, I'm just...) -- D J   Spen  star!  20:05, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome (officially) back, Sunshine, and don't forget the FS voting. VH effectively leads by 2 votes, since I have stated my intent to cede the tiebreaker if it comes to that, but I'm sure TDIRM would appreciate your support. Besides, you never know how the last-minute voters might break. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 21:18, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Following up on your blog comment: yes, LTDI does seem to be rather tailored for you. Although I would like to claim that the "Duncan-fangirling-inducing scene" was written with you in mind (just as I can't see ravioli on a restaurant menu anymore without thinking about you), it's not true. I got the idea when a faintly similar scene in someone else's fanfic reminded me of an apparently true story that I had read about as a child. (And yes, I remember a fair amount of its detail almost 40 years later.) Duncan will essentially re-enact that story. I don't think it's revealing too much to tell you that the scene shows Duncan's softer side and is currently scheduled for the paintball hunt, although the timing is subject to change. The scene serves the same purpose as the acquisition of Bunny II in the original, as Bunny II is not currently scheduled to appear in LTDI.

I have, however, done two things specifically for you: (1) I am using Christin instead of a relative of my own invention; and (2) I recently changed the elimination order to enhance the Sunshine reference.

Here's a tidbit that might interest you. Yesterday my wife met a couple of her friends for lunch at a place billing itself as a "Mongolian Grill". (And since she's not a big eater, I got to sample the leftovers.) Although this place presumably uses Mongolian spices and preparation methods, the range of stuff they treat in this way is pretty eclectic. My DW's meal included such things as Mongolian mahi-mahi (yes, I know that wouldn't interest you), Mongolian calamari (same again), and *drumroll* Mongolian cheese ravioli.

Have you ever had Mongolian ravioli? If not, that's something you can add to your bucket list, and something you can add to the Pixie's repertoire. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 21:41, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

The ravioli itself was pretty standard; the sauce and the bed of rice are what made it Mongolian. Mongolian cuisine (as served in the States, anyway) is similar to Chinese, as you might expect. It tends to be on the spicy side.

On an unrelated note, something I forgot to mention: I recently put up a blog post, in case you missed it. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I--  02:12, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I was looking at the forum of the newsletter, and I think I might want to sign up as the new story premiere, if I can do it. What is it exactly?

Koops' Epic FU Interview
Are you ready for the interview, Koops?

I'm ready eggy, waffles, and spaghetti.

What was your first thought about being Featured User?

'''It's about time! GOSH!!! (XD JK) I was really surprised at how many votes I got and how I finally became one.'''

'''Are you sad because there wasn’t a Featured Tie? '''

Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed it couldn't happen, but I bet TAU will win it soon.

What do you feel is your best work that you have completed or are in the process of writing?

My best work would have to be Total Drama Havoc; a lot of users considered a big improvement over Total Drama Chaos and its on the Current Favorites selection too.

If you could change something about your stories what would it be?

Some of the scenes in Chaos and Havoc, I'm also redoing Heroes Vs. Villains, because of how mediocre my writing was back then compared to today.

'''What user(s) inspire you to write more? '''

'''Fanny, and Shane; Fanny for all his awesome comments he leaves on my stories' talk pages and Shane for helping me unleash my inner potential and encouraging me to do more. Also, I know there's no "Who is your favorite author" question, but I'd still like to give a shout-out to Nalyd and Sprink as I think they tie for best author in my opinion.'''

What’s your all-time favorite story on the wiki?

My all-time favorite stories to be more precise are Total Drama Paradise, Total Drama Amazon, Total Drama Tropics, Total Drama Infinity.

Who is your favorite male and female character on the wiki?

'''My favorite male character is Stevie; he's just so lovable and probably the best of the gentle giant types. My favorite female characters is Andrea; she's awesome and has a very emotional past which makes you feel sorry for her.'''

What do you feel you are best known for on the wiki?

The amount of XD's I bring to the Chatango and IRC chat rooms and my lovable and unfortunately music-less parodies.

What do you plan for your future here on the wiki?

'''For the future, I have my third season called Total Drama: The Outback (Nobody take that title please) where there will be 20 characters fighting for more money at the Australian Outback. I'm also planning a sequel to Heroes Vs. Villains called Total Drama Users where 18 users (Don't start asking me now) compete for an unknown amount of money. There's also Total Drama Vacation and my collab with Fanny, Total Drama: New York City.'''

What advice to you give to the newer users on the wiki?

Just keep trying your hardest and don't take a hiatus as soon as you come to the wiki.

What is your favorite TDI character?

Definitely Heather!

Where’s Waldo?

'''I don't know, but he stole my wallet, my car keys, and my XBOX 360 and once I find him I'm gonna... (TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES XD)'''

MEEP!

PIKACHU!

Sad the interview has come to an end?

'''IT CAN'T BE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (XD JK) Yes, I'm sad, and once something else happens, I can get interviewed for that too. :P'''

Hi Sunshine! :) I don't mean to be the brink of annoyingness today, but I was wondering when your portion of TDA5 judging would be up? ^^;;;-- Arms so right, it's ill! Worth one-fifth of the mil! I’ll pay you back somehow! Pineapple-head me now! 23:44, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

No problem and thanks. XD -- Arms so right, it's ill! Worth one-fifth of the mil! I’ll pay you back somehow! Pineapple-head me now! 23:48, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I have a question about the newsletter. Am I supposed to pick one story or can I review multiple stories? Also are they supposed to have just started or about to start?--Radicalm18It's Radical M not Radi Calm! 15:36, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Don't you feel special?
After weeks of leaning progressively further in that direction, I have decided that Christin McLean will definitely appear in one LTDI scene. (I have the situation in mind.) To do her justice in this appearance, I need your thoughts on what she would be like in her early 30s.

Here's some more fodder for your theory that LTDI is effectively being written for Your Brightness, whether by accident or by design: I have already mentioned that I am using Christin (as opposed to a creation of my own) for no other reason than to please you. Now, though, you're getting a chance to be a creative consultant for the story. Aren't you just feeling more and more special all the time? On a related note, be sure to vote in my LTDI poll, if you haven't already. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!  A wandering minstrel, I-- 03:26, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. Sweet little Sunshine has actually cast an Oppose vote on one of the Feature ballots. You told me once that you couldn't remember the last time you had done that, or words to that effect.

On an unrelated note, 'twere a clever bit of manipulation, making me read TWE season 1. (I have read a couple of Season 2 chapters, but haven't had time to really get into it.) Oh well, now that I know most of the relevant users better, maybe I'll get more out of it now. Besides, I'll have plenty of time, because <Minor Spoiler Alert> Christin's scene isn't until the Epilogue </Spoiler Alert>. I did read what there is of TDI Bachelorette last night. I'm guessing that it's destined to remain unfinished, since the author hasn't posted any edits at all in more than a year. Gideoncrawle I have a song to sing, O!  Sing me your song, O!
