User talk:CurrentBigThing – Star Wars Fanon

Cool. Well, I was wanting to perhaps throw some homages to you and your works in my fic. Like, I'd like to name a mountain range on Alderaan after one of the Bac's, or something. I hate to keep referring to it as "the mountains" or "mountain range". If you agree, you can come up with any story you'd like as to why it's named that. Like maybe Jonathan Bac had a great battle there or something.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 18:00, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I was actually thinking of asking you to throw in some sort of mention to the earlier years of ASWS with the Bacs and such, but was actually hesitant in doing so since I didn't want to seem as if I was forcing my stuff into your novel. However, it does make sense to have even just a brief mention, because in the ASWS the Bac family was important on Alderaan. Throwing in the homage to Jonathan Bac in one form or another would make the most sense. Conrad Bac was a General and all, and his death was the catalyst for the Unification Wars, but Jonathan Bac was so much more important than him in terms of being an Admiral, the person who helped win the war, and the first Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. Ussej Padric Bac also wouldn't make sense, because he really had nothing to do with Alderaan save for being the grandson of King Leto Antilles, the grandson of corrupt douche Padric Bac and son of non-douche Padric Bac II. So yeah, if you want to go ahead and say that Jonathan won a battle on Alderaan during the war at the mountain range, that would be perfectly fine by me. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah yes, very good then. Thanks Rhea.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 18:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

Sorry I created an article with only an infobox. It's just that I had to do something really important, and then I guess, I accidently saved it without finishing. Thanks for the message.Skyfire34 ^(Talk) 21:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. We all have our own things to do. It happens.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 21:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Hey, thanks for the welcome! I'm not going to be working on Darth Tyler anymore.—Darthtyler _Talk 15:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem. And, of course it's your own choice to work on whatever you wish. Regardless of what other people think.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 15:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't care what other people think of my article. After a while, hearing the same thing over and over and over again gets annoying. People are still complaining on the article's talk page. Do you see what I mean?—Darthtyler _Talk 15:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Good to hear that you no longer let people influence you, but yes, I would think that it would get annoying.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 16:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Sorry

No, no, no. It's okay, really. I know we're different, and I've learned to try to get around that, ignore, or whatever anything I don't like. That's how I get along with people, usually. I also didn't know how you'd take being asked not to be someone you've always been. You don't ask me to stop doing something unless I intentionally do it to annoy or whatever, so I didn't think it was fair. Ask DT, even though I don't like something someone is doing, I'm not going to make a big deal about it. I'm easygoing. And I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have left like that, I tried to make it seem as if my computer just stopped internet-ing (I declare that a viable verb) so I wouldn't hurt anyone. That obviously didn't work. Next time I'll not handle it like that. There's nothing between our relationship, we're still in this to destroy articles together. -Solus^{(Bird of Prey)} 12:15, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Solus. :) -- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 12:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! <huggles> -Solus^{(Bird of Prey)} 12:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] a

why did you do that plz do not it was funnyi am not crzy i am silly

[edit] PAs

Vandal or not, please don't make PAs like "moron" or "Don't be an idiot". That's just not appropriate, especially in a block summary. How are we supposed to know what someone is blocked for at a later date if all the block summary says is "you're an idiot"? - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

So, put it on the talk page of the blocked user. And, point taken.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 21:06, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Leia images

Hey CBT, I think I've finally found the perfect portrayal of young Princess Leia. It's from the 2003 film, Peter Pan. You can find them at Category:Images of Leia Organa (ASWS). Also in there are pictures of the actress with Peter Pan who, in my opinion, could be a pretty good young Epin too. I was glad I found these because, when it comes down to it, there's really not many choices at all. What do you think? - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Rhea, man, awesome find. I like them, and upon viewing them, I now have new inspiration! To the notebooks!! . . . Well, maybe I'm being overly dramatic, but you get the idea. -- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 13:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if seeing some of the images would give you inspiration. The same thing happens to me; sometimes I'll see an image and it'll give me a whole new story idea. I guess we're one in the same there. Anyway, great! I'm still looking for an appropriate infobox image for Leia, so I'll let you know when I find one. Also, my IRC is working again, so later I'd like to talk a bit about Alderaan Affair. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I know what you mean about inspirations. And I'll be on IRC until probably noon.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 13:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This is the "match party" image I was talking about. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, already saw it. And I already have a reason as to why she's looking in that direction. :) -- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 19:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Awesome. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Themes/influences

Since I’m working on the ASWS article right now, would you mind telling me some influences and themes found in your parts of the Saga? If you could tell me either on your talk page or mine, that’d be greatly appreciated it. I’ll put mine together and write everything up into the Influences section and the Themes section. Also, if you have any other ideas as to what should be put into the article other than what I already have and what I just mentioned to you here, that’d be appreciate it. I’m hoping to FA this sucker soon. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

If by influences you mean, what authors I like to read, then it would have to be Stephen King. I quite enjoy a good horror/violent story. As I'm sure you've probably guessed by looking at any of my articles. If you mean what drives me to write, it would have to be music, I do my best writing when I have my Ipod on. Some bands I listen to while writing include, but are not limited to, Slayer, DevilDriver and Slipknot. I use there songs to convey anger and aggression to myself. I also listen to KillSwitch Engage's "The End of Heartache" CD, as many songs on there deal with pain and loss. So I get those emotions from there. I also listen to Hip-Hop such as 2-Pac, NAS, Eminem and DMX. As far as themes, I would have to say they are loyalty to family, as noticed by Epin's constant struggle to gain acceptance form his father. Loyalty to friends, as illustrated by Leia and Epin's relationship. And compassion, as shown by Leia helping Epin out at the onset of the "Alderaan Affair" narrative.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 21:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

That's great a overview. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AJAX feature

Hello! I was wondering if you would consider putting up the AJAX feature on the wiki. It is an auto-refreshing program used on the Recent changes page. If you are interested, tell me on my talk page. Spencer 19:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's really needed thanks.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 20:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the fast response Rhea, I will finish them up sometime tonight, and get them out to you.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 20:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll let you know if there are any contradictions. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Lol, sorry. You can un-block and re-block him if you want. I've gotten depressed banning users for uploading unsourced images, anyway :P Drewton ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 15:56, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SVS mention

Since you are mentioned pretty heavily in SVS under the 'Collaborations' section, can you please take a look and make sure everything is accurate, or that I didn't miss anything big or important, please? I'm picky about my prose-flow, so if there is something wrong, please let me know instead of fixing or adding it in yourself. :P Thanks. --Victor^talk 01:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Everything looks fine brother.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 18:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CUSFWN interview

Hey, CB. For the CUSFWN, I've been assigned to ask you some questions concerning the ASWS:

What was your main source of inspiration?

A.Mainly, I find inspiration from music, if that's what you are asking. Additionally, when I look at pictures and such, I can usually get an instant story idea. Though, most times they aren't included, but like I said, ideas come pretty quickly to me, and the difficult part is finding one that I genuinely am happy with. However, it is worth noting that I work closely with Solus when it comes to fleshing out ideas. She has been a great help to me as far as helping me keep my ideas organized.

What themes, if any, did you try and incorporate into the story?

A. I would have to say they are loyalty to family, as noticed by Epin's constant struggle to gain acceptance form his father. The fact that the family has kept itself together, despite the difficulty they all seem to have. Loyalty to friends, as illustrated by Leia and Epin's relationship. And compassion, as shown by Leia helping Epin out at the onset of the "Alderaan Affair" narrative

What changes and cuts did you make to it as you went along?

A. Well, I've cut the entire Sith Lord thing, and decided to focus more on a finding/reuniting a lost love angle. This will become clearer as the Alderaan Affair's story progresses further.

What other contributions to the ASWS can we expect from you?

A. I have a story I will be be working on regarding Kreia's place in Epin's bloodline. After I'm done with that I will move on to working out more of Epin's story after Alderaan. Without going into too much detail, let's just say that Leia won't always be the "good guy". Take that for what it's worth.

Thanks. Unit 8311^Talk! 17:58, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas

Hey, I'd just like to say Merry Christmas, and thanks for being a good friend to me for nearly a year. Drewton ^{(Drewton's Holocron)} 04:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Drewton, and the same to you.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 11:36, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Updates

I read your updates. Very funny stuff. Epin's reactions were great, and I was glad to see that Rena ate her words when she found out that Leia really did kiss Epin. The only thing I'd mention, and you've probably considered this since you told me previously that things you upload are first drafts, is that it'd be nice to see some of Bail, Breha, Sadvo and Lania's thoughts and reactions to the news that Leia kissed Epin. Well done, regardless. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Which is why they change the subject, and/or are not paying attention. But yes, I will work that in there somewhere down the line. Thanks for the feedback.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 18:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Nice job CBT, see the quote I nominated. No complaints from me. (Tis Vic) 207.233.58.100 19:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Very cool man. And thanks.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 19:08, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cover

Hey Wayne, a little birdie told me The Alderaan Affair needs a cover. I'd be happy to help whenever you need, just send me the resources you'd like to use anytime. :) –Victor ^{(talk page)} 03:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I have a good idea of the identity of the birdie as well. When I have more content in which to create a cover for, I will take you up on that offer my friend. :)-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 17:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bahleete fest

Thanks for you help with those bahleetionz. –Victor ^{(talk page)} 21:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Why are you sending me messages, when the time could be better spent giving me stuff to delete? :) Ha. No problem man, no prob.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 21:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hahaha. Anyway, you missed one. –Victor ^{(talk page)} 21:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your note

Oh, I think I understood about what you are saying:

the problem is that normally I begin an article without telling all its history; I just put an idea of the character (for example) and, some time later, I put its history. For example, Kundun is my most important article and just 30% of it is already written! :P So, if there is an article with just a image, an infobox and a small description, this is just for a time till I think and later write the entire history ;] And just for make you rest (xD), I ended the Sommoll family members, so there will be no more ups for this family in case of women; if there will be others, it will be for other characters, so, not so much =] The biggest part of my characters still are men ;] Just in the Sommoll family that is more women than men...

So, I think its fine for now =] But if you have more things to say, let me know! I like opinions ;] Just put it into my talk page, because I'll not return here to read your answer :P (considering what I red in the begin of your talk page).

See you! Momergil ^(Talk) 21:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I dont think I have talked to you, so hey, hows it going? Anyway, I was wondering if you aren't busy, you might be able to help me. Interested? Darth Craetor 02:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

FYI, Wayne, Craetor wants an editor for his novel he's planning to write. I figured I'd tell you since he didn't, and there's no sense asking vague questions. - Brandon Rhea ^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
You should know that I barely have time to edit my own work, let alone someone elses. I appreciate the offer, but I must decline. I've got some serious business that I need to deal with in the coming weeks and I need to focus on it. P.S. So I don't get bombarded with "I'm here for you.", and keeping with my policy of being upfront with people. I was in jail.-- CurrentBigThing (Speak) 10:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Errr, yeah, sorry.... I guess that was a pretty stupid idea of asking you like that... Thanks anyway. - |Darth Craetor (talk) (contribs) 16:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, I forgot to ask you. Do you, by any chance, have any advice on writing? - |Darth Craetor (talk) (contribs) 16:30, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
