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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your continued support, Gideon. And I hear what you're saying--it's just that life is hectic for me at the moment (with college concerns and my Eagle Scout project), and as such I simply don't have the time I once had to sit down and write.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gideon I really need your help. So I made a page and did what you said to do about headings and it didn't work!!!!!!! And the trivia is messing up. The first trivia dot keeps popping up at least a space away from the triva thing and everytime I backspace it goes back down when I preview it!!!!!!!!!! And these li things keep appearing!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Okay, phew. XD I get so stressed whn I think I've done something wrong. Anyways, yes, I did see the problem right away when viewing the source of her stories page. A common glitch I've noticed on wikis I've edited recently (I assume I'm the only one to see them right away because I disabled by Rich Text Editor, as my fanfiction's source button broke) is excess coding that really, isn't necessary. This sometimes latches onto headings and disables them. So... yeah. XD -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  02:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

 * 2) What was the letter thing you mentioned? (The one you made a link to).
 * 3) What made you so teary-eyed about this chapter?

I got your message. I wasn't sure on Fanatasia and whether the Pastoral piece was from the 2000 version or the earlier.

I don't know. At first, I created a new account on TD Wiki 'cause I'd been out for nearly a year and I thought it would be nice if people tried to guess who I am. But later, I prefered to stick to that account. It seemed like a chance to start from scratch, redo my reputation, and make friends not depending on my old account.

It's nice to be back. I can't wait for your preview and, of course, 3000th edit post. I love TV Tropes. It's kind of a secret addiction of mine: I love to look at the tropes, yet if somebody asked me which ones I saw in a story or show I unfortunately could never spot them. I'll have to say I wasn't really surprised at the number of tropes you've found in LTDI, but that's not a bad thing. One day once I have a good percentage of one of my stories posted (I'll actually be making a blog in a few days announcing the date I've decided for finally starting to post TDI:FYE) I'll have to search for tropes in my own work. I've always wanted to do it. Thanks for welcoming me back, and trust me. I'm glad to be back. Freefalling Lilacs is way too boring for a cool signature. 03:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, your workshop helped alot! It made me realise that my one story that involves POV switching sounds quite childish and choppy when I read all the way through, so I'm in the process of writing it in 3d person omniprescent, as it gives it a more mature feel. Omg.Chacha is mah name, being sarcastic is mah game! 14:08, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

In regards to your last comment on my page, I love POV switching, I really do, I just feel I'm not great at using it, as I always use some strange statement to end the section. It's hard to explain, but I just think there are definatly people who can use it, like Stephanie Meyer of Twilight uses it, and it works brilliantly. Again, thank you for your help! Omg.Chacha is mah name, being sarcastic is mah game! 15:52, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me where you get your images for TDI:G&S? They're pretty high quality. <font color="Blue">Jake Writer, Drawer, Friend 07:01, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

I know it's a moment that was purely for comedic purposes, with no intention at hinting at their sexual orientations. I'll be sure to check that preview out later, and the NoCo saga of my D&R reenvisioning is definitely to be unique if not controversial from all three sides of the homosexual argument. I'm not doing it simply for controversy, of course, and the NoCo portion of the story won't be the most important plot. It'll simply be to get that "third side" of the controversy recognized, when it is commonly neglected or pretty much unknown. Actually, I think Sprink might have covered that in his superhero story... I think... He told me one of his characters was to have that perspective, but I don't know if he followed through with it.

Anyway, I'm really starting to ramble.

Thanks for the help with signature. I know this isn't the first time we have discussed signatures. Unfortuanley, things are not going well. If you go to my talk page and look under MyScope3000 and under TESTING: you'll find my signature. I tried to post it here but it lost all it's colors :( I can't seem to get the white one to lead to my talk page. Can you help? Plus I'm confused as how to make it my signature at my preferances. Can you explain how in more simpiler terms. Thank You. Last Of The Gophers!!! 23:50, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I just remember some slightly important information.

I left a message on Sprink's blog saying I liked the Richard idea. I hope that helps him get chosen! I loved how you came up with the idea. It was really sweet. And its ok you haven't read the new chapter. I did post it about 28 days after I said I was going to XD. I'm excited about it though. I had some writer's block but it's gone. I also read your comment about formatting and I appreciate. I'm not the best with formatting but I'm wanting to learn. I think it will help me a lot and hopefully end all the problems I keep having.

Hey Gideon I we've been over this a billion times but I wanna make a new signature and I had trouble. Ok so this is a rough draft of what is was to be: [http://totaldramaislandfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:Rhonda_the_stalker_fan! When you leave,] My colors fade to grey,[http://totaldramaislandfanfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Rhonda_the_stalker_fan! Little lover stay<3]

So I was gonna add more but I had three questions to ask.

1. I used source mode to make this signature. So anyway the middle one is soppuse to take you to my user talk but it doesn't. Any ideas why?

2. How to I change this to my current signature?

3. I copied and pasted this from my talk page. If you look there you can see there in color in this order: Purple, Grey and then Pink. But they didn't show up in that color. Do you know why?

Help
Hey, Wiki-Dad. I need some help. I revised the Annalise-Cassandra-Mr. Squirrel scene further, and I sort of like how it all ended up. Anyway, I was writing my chapter, and I tried to show a lot of it. However, it seemed... dry. I decided tell some of the feelings and thoughts that the characters had and it actually really helped! However, I have a question.

I don't know if I truly know what showing is in writing terms. I perceive it as showing the physical things that the characters are doing, describing what the tone and feel of the setting is, and describing what the character is feeling rather than just outright telling it. For example, instead of "Joan was sad", I think that I could say, "As her boyfriend left her, Joan sat on the couch, crying. Despite her mother's soothing words, the waterworks would not stop." I don't know if that shows that she's sad, or it tells it, but I'm hoping it showed. Anyway, don't feel obligated to reply right away as I know you're busy. --Goldenshane 00:04, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Ah... okay. I get it, I think. Basically, if you describe the feeling through their physical motions (Like the sad/wept) comparison, that is showing. Okay, I think I understand it more. Thanks! --Goldenshane 13:43, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

thanx so much for commenting. (not like anyone else would comment) i hate my story but once i start something i have to end it. On TDI wikia, the camp tv article says the host was used as announcer and they never showed him/her, they only showed their arms come out of no where on the promo where he was giving Gwen the bowl of gruel. (i think that was host/announcer) so i made ideas with them NEVER showing the host and tried to be differnet to how they called "host". Anyways thank u so much for commenting and hopefully you read this.....

Honestly, I have no idea what to do on my blog; but I guess that prolonged chat with SG through the blog thread made me reach the 1990s point.

But I guess my usual standard of posting random pictures will presume, as it's been a trademark of mine; but I doubt there'll be as many. But I'll struggle to find a lot! Also, I might even post several videos. Of course, there's this error that occurs and only lets me post one video on a blog, so don't be surprised if other vids aren't up, yet.

Originally, I was planning on posting a Shane Dawson video, but since you haven't heard of him, you might find his humor disgusting (I doubt a vampire drinking menstrual blood would be your typa thing). But as for videos, I might post a few Nicki Minaj lyric videos since they know I like her music.

And a whole buncha other stuff will be posted, too. :) ♪I wish that I could have this moment 4 life♫ ♪Whenever you call, baby I&#39;ll roll up♫ ♪After a hurricane comes a rainbow♫ 15:24, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

I looked at TDI G&S but I'm confused. Is it retelling Total Drama but has songs from operas that match what happens? Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love. With your name on every wall. &lt;3 00:29, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I heard Izzy's theme and I really liked it. I once saw an opera for a special at night field trip and I really liked. It was called Don Padro. I think it was about an old man who wanted to leave his money to an heir but he wouldn't leave to his nephew because he didn't like who he married. So the old man tries to marry someone but he is tricked into marrying someone horrible who is his nephew's lover in disguise trying to convince the old man to let her and the nephew marry. I think it was by Shakesphere. XD Does it sound familar? Anyway I think I'm gonna take your suggestion and have Julie mention the lyrics. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love.

About your latest message, I guess you have more children then one now! XD Goldenshane 03:30, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Gideon! Yeah, it's been a while, and it's great to hear from you again! I'd have replied sooner, but I haven't been too diligent in checking the wiki recently with all of my summer-fun activities going on. You are correct, I did say that I've always loved Sadie for some reason, and that hasn't changed. I'm always excited for any scene you write pertaining to her, and your confidence in this particular scene makes me all the more excited to read it. As for the 1000th edit... I'm not really sure when I'm going to hit that. Like I said, I haven't been the most diligent user lately, so my edit count has been increasing very, very slowly. I feel like I've been close to 1000 for a really long time. XD When I do hit 1000, I don't see myself doing anything particularly enormous. Maybe I'll make a blog thanking a few wikians who make my life here happier (including you)... I suppose I'll put more thought into it when I actually feel close to the goal. -Lalainee 05:41, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

I can't remember much about the opera but I do remember that the lesson of to be learned was to not marry old or to never marry old. I'm not sure I agree with that message though. I remember someone telling me Romeo and Juliet wasn't an original plot but I had no idea that all his stories plots were unoriginal. I believe that now a days a lot of plots in movies and on certain episodes of shows is very unoriginal. It is way too predictable. And I find it interesting someone said that the plot was unoriginal when a lot of fanfictions plots and premises are unoriginal. I mean all the fanfictions are based on Total Drama. So most fanfictions can't be that original. But like you said there's more than one way to be creative. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love. With your name on every wall. &lt;3 06:21, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

We'll see what happens with the edits, I guess. I personally don't see the point in making a huge deal of a certain number of edits, but if other people like to do that, that's fine too. That news about the previews and your posting schedule is pretty exciting! I think any news about LTDI is exciting, though. I like that you're writing each intro as if the reader has never heard of TDI. It sounds like they're going to be very detailed, which is something that really appeals to me. A lot of stories neglect some characters in favor of others, but it seems like LTDI is going to be pretty well-rounded in terms of screentime for each character. I can't wait to see the next preview, and eventually the first chapter. -Lalainee 02:50, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Would you be able delete Total Drama Superstars and un-delete Total Drama on Deck? I don't want TDSuperstars anymore. Thanks. --Lulucas777 00:14, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't know Shakespeare wrote histories. And the fact he had no idea he was writing for the ages kinda surprises me. Last year are class read a book called the Wednesday Wars which had a lot of Shakespeare references. The main character was reading Shakespeare plays and even appeared in one. It was actually good book especially since I thought I would hate it. The reasons for lack in originality do make sense. The phrase "If it ain't broke don't fix it" came to mind for why they don't do more original plots, though the phrase doesn't exactly fit. I love the line about drama. I'm probably going to quote that. Also I'd like to nominate Julie but I feel since the story has only four chapters a lot of people will oppose her. But I suppose it really doesn't matter if people oppose it because Julie will/is still be a great character. And publicity would be nice. But at the same time Reddy also nominated Julie's pic for Feature Image ( not that I mind) and I don't know if that means I shouldn't nominate her. I do plan on nominating Julie first out of all the TDWTH characters if any others are to be nominated. Hello, hello! It's me Picasso! I will spray my words of love.

I think I'm leaning towards not doing anything... I'll either hit 1000 tomorrow or the next day, so we'll see what I decide. Either way, I don't think it'll really matter too much. As for 1000 being the mark for Featured User, that's not something I'm too preoccupied with either. I don't think I'd ever be taken seriously as a nominee for FU, being only a reader and commenter who doesn't consistently contribute to the wiki. XD That's okay, though, because I don't feel like I need recognition as a FU to feel like I matter to the wiki. As long as one person cares that I'm here, I'll stay. That's good enough for me. :) -Lalainee 07:16, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Wiki-dad, I know you've started reading Fiji. What are your first impressions? Believe me, I'm not asking you to continue reading it today or tomorrow or anything. When you have time and want to do it, that's when. Anyway, is the description too much, too little, too telly, too showy, and are the characters different, or are they just clones? Again, answer on your own time. Goldenshane 04:09, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

2 topics here.

First, I signed your friends list, so I just wanted to let you.

Secondly, in case you don't, I believe QOS has an account with your name on Chatango. I dunno if Gideoncrawle is her or you, but i'm just letting you know.

Thanks! I did write far too much description for chapter 5 in Fiji. As for the wikilympics chapter, I liked it. I know I didn't use as much detail as I could've, and that bothered me. But I'm realizing that dialogue is way more important than whether Terra places her hand on a tree and rests on it. I probably could've just done this, "Terra rests upon the tree and asks, 'You sure this'll work, Tijuana?'" It shows she's tired (by resting on a tree) and shows some of her personality within the quote (she's not too trusting.)

"Tijuana looks up and glares at Terra. 'Of course it will! Don't worry about it.' Tijuana looks down to find a jumbled mess of mechanical parts. With a sigh, Tijuana hands over the wrench.

"'Just take it!'" Again, I showed as much as a needed in order for some people to get a hold of Tijuana's personality there. Confident, not too good with machinery and hates to lose. I didn't need to use a ton of description to show that Tijuana didn't want to do it, I could've just done it with a short paragraph and some dialogue.

Also, just one more question. How can I make my chapters flow and not so choppy? I felt that the wikilympics chapter was horribly choppy. Goldenshane 15:18, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ah. Now I get it. I suppose now I need to stop describing so much and use more dialogue in conjunction with description. I need to ask, was what I wrote (the thing with Terra and Tijuana) any good? Did it flow, have too much description?

{C}And as for not being that choppy, I guess it was just my opinion. It's ironic, as I wrote the chapter under some stress and on a time limit. Maybe I should stress out more often. XD Goldenshane 04:26, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Wow! I never expected TDI:A! to have a legacy quite like that. I've been told by many users over at FF.net that Total Drama Island: Again! had been one of their biggest inspirations in the fandom (which was an amazing compliment), but I never expected it to make an impact over here. For the record, what was posted on this site was only a fraction of the amount of story I'd managed to write before giving up on it. Total Drama Island: Again! was actually the longest thing I had ever written (one of the chapters that I still have saved on my computer was almost 17,000 words) and I'm still pretty impressed that I'd managed to make it as far as I did in it, so I'm glad that it inspired you to write that scene. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  05:53, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah, now I'm starting to understand. I wrote that paragraph because all that dawned on me. XD. I need to start feeling the flow of writing, instead of trying to command it if it makes any sense. Thanks for liking the scene! I'm really big on showing instead of telling, so I thought description was the way to go. Dialogue's important. I know that there will be a ton of fails, and I think Fiji will just be more training grounds, and probably my fourth story will be too. I'll get it someday, though!

Well, no problem. I joined because of you mainly due to your attitude. You always seem calm, and your intelligence is outsanding. Like, honestly, you are the smartest guy on the wiki. Although your age may have something to do with it. So, of course, I didn't want to miss the chance to meet you, and I joined the wiki.

Ah. I wasn't actually aware that the bear image was seen as a replacement for the dead Heather image (or that it was in a pit for that matter, but that's just be because I haven't read the story). I had seen the dead Heather image on the ballot, and I was actually fond of it because I thought it was good quality. That's actually why I don't think the bear image is his best. Just like you said, it wasn't obvious that Heather was dead and I would have supported it when it was up if not for the fact that the controversy arose and I didn't really want to get into the middle of it. I'm still going to keep the oppose vote on the page because I'm still not fond of the image, but I definitely understand where all the supporting votes came from. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  03:45, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Gideon:

I just noticed that you decided to likely release LTDI in full on Labor Day Weekend, or at least in that general area. My birthday falls somewhere in the Labor Day weekend area, as well (Sept. 3), so I just wanted to say that I look forward to LTDI's release, partially as a bit of a birthday present from the wiki. This is not meant to put pressure on you or anything to keep the release in that area, but I just wanted to tell you the coincidence.- The Anonymous User 02:55, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well it kind of depends, i haven't read your story yet ( I tend to rend things when I get incredibly bored... But that's not the point...) so I'm not sure how you are showing Leshawna, I mean, is she the type to use slang, curse or is she fairly high-class and civil, while talking...

Hey, Gideon. Do you have any tips on writing? I'm kinda bad at it, though most people don't think so. I just want to improve, and see if I can get more readers. :3 --Lulucas777 05:01, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yay! Thanks! Gigi said that the only direction I have to go now is up, so let's see if I can! I do hope that I return to my former writing style, as that one I realize wasn't exactly bad. I simply wrote. I think that's why my wikilympics chapter was my best, as I wrote and I didn't have any time to edit it. I think that's it. Either way, thanks for supporting me through my paranoia stage. You're awesome. Goldenshane 21:38, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I was talking to Gigi, and she likes Fiji, and can tell that I'm trying to improve my description, but yet it shouldn't show. She said that, and I understand. her biggest advice was to just let it flow. When I go back and read it, I get paranoid and start getting purple. Sometimes I cut things out, so it's a balance.

Hey Gideon. I was hoping you could tell me how to put a page up for a candidate for deletion. Your wife has told me she wants to name a character for a story Rhonda (which I clearly agreed to). A page named Rhonda exists but the story it is for is a candidate for deletion so I thought I would put this page as a candidate for deletion too so your wife could use it as a character page if she wants.

Thanks! All of the people I asked to read Fiji's fifth chapter told me that it was engaging enough to keep them reading (except for the challenge portion, which I am going to try to work on). I am encouraged by this, and I did read LoTDI, but it was one in the morning when I did, so I didn't leave a comment. I need to, and I will once I'm done with everything I need to do here. I've been sort of "BLECH" with logging in, so I've just been checking on your story, Lilac's, and Sprink's. Oh, and TDIwriter's.

About the writing, I'm still going to do it. I need to learn discipline, and if I shorten up the chapters, I can write up half of a chapter, edit it, and post it in a week. Then, for my fourth story, I can easily write up chapters without taking two-month-long breaks. XD I am going to start writing soon again, probably after school tomorrow I'll write a bit.

Let's call it even then. Taking both chapters at a time actually would probably make more sense. Overall I'm pretty sure that this episode will end up being the shortest since there really isn't all that much to write. Like I'd said before, it's more of a transition episode between two much more important ones. And the elimination would only be unpopular for the reason it happens, not for the character, so there will probably only be minimal lamenting. <font color="Green">Freefalling Lilacs: <font color="Navy">Can you hear me now?  01:06, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what you will do with his character: I can either love him or hate him.
