Re: IRC
Nope, sorry. See Solus's talk page for my long-winded response as to why. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 17:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's no problem. Would you be willing to hear out my question here?--  CurrentBigThing  ( Speak ) 17:56, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Of course. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 17:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 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)

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)

Hey
Hey, thanks for the welcome! I'm not going to be working on Darth Tyler anymore.&mdash; Darthtyler http://images.wikia.com/swfanon/images/1/18/Scuba_Diver.gif 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?&mdash; Darthtyler http://images.wikia.com/swfanon/images/1/18/Scuba_Diver.gif 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)

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! - Solus (Bird of Prey)  12:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

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

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"? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(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)

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? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(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. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(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. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(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. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

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. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(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. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:25, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

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)

Sounds good. I'll let you know if there are any contradictions. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: GAH
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)

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. --Victortalk 01:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

IRC topic
I logged on for a second just to see it, but I have to go. If you see this, please go on and remove it and then kick you know who out of the channel. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 00:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

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

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. 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 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. 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 to much detail, let's just say that Leia won't always be the "good guy". Take that for what it's worth.
 * 1) What was your main source of inspiration?
 * 1) What themes, if any, did you try and incorporate into the story?
 * 1) What changes and cuts did you make to it as you went along?
 * 1) What other contributions to the ASWS can we expect from you?

Thanks. Unit 8311 Talk!  17:58, 10 December 2008 (UTC) --  CurrentBigThing  ( Speak ) 18:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
