 I will reply to all messages on your talk page, with as much haste as possible. Unfortunately, for you users who live in the USA, I live in the UK, and there is a time difference so I may not reply to your messages that quickly. Thank you for your understanding.

I see nothing wrong with having an image up top, like Brandon and I have, but yours is tall, so it makes a big difference. --Victor  (talk) 18:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

ACE Comics
Hello Darth Tom. Wow, remember on Wookieepedia, when we first began talking and you joined the ACE comics. Well, we understood why you left. Elijah, if you remember him, the leader, took it hard but is ok.

Just recently, we lost Calvin, the weapons-master of the group, leaving me and Elijah. You won't believe how we lost him. The ACE comics are no more. We had to part ways. It's to bad. Oh well. Just keeping you posted. Goodbye, old friend.

Most sincerely, user:jedimasteraust

Cruentus
Hey, Tom. I posted a message on the Cruentus page relating to your question, but here it is anyway because it's piling up above other comments:

"Tom: On the Cruentusian War page, it says there are four combatants. You all are attempting to protect and regain territory of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, right? Or is it 2v2? Or Free for all, four opponents battling each other, survival of the fittest? Never mind. The case here is that the slaves are fighting against the rear guard of the Rakatans. If so, I would like to be on a neutral side, sending mercenaries to people willing to pay. That would be why we would need a five way war box; it would include a box for the mercenaries and their commanders. -- Joe Butler  (Obi Maul12)   talk  20:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)" -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)   talk 00:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Below is the FA review. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)   talk 16:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

When this article first greeted me on the main page, I knew this wasn’t going to be my most positive review, unfortunately. Although I enjoy seeing collaboration on SWFanon, and though I enjoy CIS droid articles, I believe that this article carries it a bit too far for my liking. It seems to me that this is a rather typical Mary Sue. For example: "Never thought I'd have an opponent so weak"

- Darth Tyler

That’s the kind of stuff I’m talking about.

While I enjoyed reading the battle between Unit 8311 and Darth Tyler, I found it incredibly ridiculous that a feeble droid such as Tyler could have survived the entire battle against 8311. No matter how connected this droid was to the force, a simple blaster bolt from 8311 could disintegrate him.

The battle itself, on the other hand, was written well, and is definitely more believable than the duel. It was written in enough detail to give a clear picture of what was happening, yet it doesn’t give too many details to clog up the readers’ minds.

The images are definitely creative, but they come out too blurry to seem realistic. Lastly, I just want to say that I can’t picture a droid such as Tyler talking how he does, with his (and 8311’s) swearing, but maybe that’s just me. All in all, I would enjoy this battle more if it was molded into a more believable and less Mary Sue-ish article.

Meet a User qs
That good? Unit 8311 17:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I first joined SWFanon way back when in May last year. I came originally to dump my Wookieepedia userpage fanon here due to the increasing user-fanon restrictions on the Big Wook, but since then I found fanoneering here so addictive that I decided to stay to become a big-time user here.
 * 2) So far, I have Steel Legion, Unit 8311, Club StarDust, and Battle of Nar Shaddaa (GDE/Legion) as FAs, and Ferd Swqaru and Star Wars: Legion Commando as GAs, under my belt. However, I'm not one to rest on my laurels, so you can expect this list to increase!
 * Hmm, difficult question. I have contributed much to Project Cruentus, as other users will attest, and I have recieved positive feedback for many of my articles, but to be honest I really don't know. I count all my articles as valuable contributions to the wiki.
 * 1) My first FA was Steel Legion, one of my flagship articles, which I nominated shortly after my arrival here, and my first GA was Unit 8311, my namesake.
 * 2) I like to get inspiration from either existing SW canon or other franchises. Some of my earlier fanon was inspired somewhat by Forces of Corruption, but the bulk of it comes from imagination. I like to generate random ideas and then expand them.
 * 3) Well, I don't like writing about Jedi and Sith, unlike nearly everyone else here. And I don't like reading Jedi articles for that matter. Often, I can't resist inserting a bit of silliness/humour into my articles, and indeed I sometimes enjoy reading silly articles on this Wiki, like Darth Tyler, as they are an example of the freedom allowed on this wiki when it comes to creativity. However, I do believe that there is a limit to silliness. Some other random factoids: I am a fan of Doctor Who, I like Asian food, I don't like the cartoon Clone Wars series, and I love Command and Conquer. Adios!

Fa Review
Below is the FA review. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)   (Complain here) 00:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I would like to begin by saying the following: I absolutely love this alternative saga. The synopsis of the saga intrigued me; it’s great how Brandon Rhea meshed characters from the real saga into his alternative saga, saying that the tale of history is subject to manipulation and untruth.

Now, onto Ussej Padric Bac LXIV. The character was worked into the saga very well; Rhea made his life both believable and interesting. What pushed me towards the edge of my seat were the images. They seem to do one of the best jobs on SWFanon of telling the story of a man’s life using pictures; the image of Ussej as a child actually looked like the older Ussej.

I would also like to commend the creativity of this article. Luke Skywalker was used extremely well, as a friend and ally of Ussej LXIV. The Bac family storyline was also continued well; I could not find a single error in the continuity of Rhea’s saga anywhere.

On a slightly less favorable note, I found several grammatical issues in the article, but I was able to overlook them, as the size of this biography is overwhelming. Great work all the way around, Brandon. I will leave you today with this caption, my favorite of the entire article. "Ussej uses "uncivilized weapons" during the Battle of Bespin."

- From the caption of an image under the “Decisions’ section

If you could also add in the introduction to the article, that'd be great. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)   (Complain here) 01:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

And, my sincere apologies for not being able to get the GA update in; I had a b-ball game last night, so I didn't get a chance to type it then, and it was my sister's birthday tonight, along with another b-ball game, so I didn't have time to finish those tonight either. I don't really see why they have to be in today anyway, if you're sending out the CUSWFN on Mondays now, but my apologies nonetheless. I will have plenty of time tomorrow to finish them. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)   (Complain here) 04:14, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Fa Review
Here you go. Make sure to add the intro to the article as well. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 02:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Dark Guardians of Lettow is another great article by Brandon Rhea. It delivers in almost all aspects, and is a very enjoyable read. However, it does not flow as well as I would have expected it to.'''

When I saw the article on the main page, I knew this was going to be a fun read. The skull symbol is great, and truly represents Carden Mannux’s quest for greater power. It also shows his true inner hate (in the eyes), specifically from the spirit of Selae.

I also enjoyed the cat-and-mice like chase for the information written by Marka Ragnos. The endless montage of Sith Lords attempting to perfect the ritual was enjoyable to read about. It was also cool how Mannux, consumed by power, was able to perfect it and use it to his advantage on the Obsidion Guardsmen.

I have a couple of quarrels, however. I don’t understand how Mannux breaks free of his chains, while Zios holds him captive. Does he use the force? If not, he couldn’t have broken free. It he did, then why didn’t he do so earlier? You just said “Then one night…”

I also felt that the article could have flowed a little better. I give Rhea credit that he needed to pack an incredible amount of information into this article, but I felt that important details relating to the Lettow were abruptly summarized in one or two simple sentences. Overall, though, this article kept me hooked.
