Re:Bouncing ideas
I would give them each a paragraph or two and go into as much detail as needed. If it's the same event, then obviously you don't want to make it all the same so you'd want to give them each a different recollection of the event. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:13, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Yep. I contacted Wikia per IRC this morning. It's been a problem for everyone all day long, Wikia wide. I guess they still haven't solved it. It's kind of annoying since I hate the "enhanced" RC. --Squishy Vic discussion archives 03:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a Wikia-wide problem. Click on recent changes and then click "Hide enhanced recent changes". You have to do it every time you go on recent changes, but it does take out that annoyance factor. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  03:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

My short story
Thanks for pointing that out. This was originally a short story I wrote for english class and it was written in the real-world. I decided to convert it to Star Wars because I could go somewhere with it, but I knew there were some things that I missed. I'll try to work on the re-writing the first couple sentences again. I have a question: Can I credit you with editing? Currently I have "various" credited because it was my english teacher who edited it. I was just curious if you would allow me to credit you. --  Tesh  162  15:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Knighthood
Nice name. Well, I actually already rewrote Chapter 1 and split it into 2 chapters. Remember how the ending of the chapter sucked (with Narod getting off on Dantooine)? Well I revised it to expand it big time and make it a lot better, because, it was rushed as you said and, as you also said, haste makes waste. Anyway, I have started on Chapter 3, but not much. Like I said, I could post Star Wars: Knighthood: Chapter 2, but I feel it'd be a waste (at the moment) since you've already read the bulk of it and you wouldn't get Chapter 3 until who knows when. (Sorry for the overlong explanation) Why do you ask? --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 23:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just curious. I've seen numerous edits to Narod Antrell in the RC, but not many to Knighthood. I thought it was one of the better fan novels that I've seen, so I was curious if it was on hold or not. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I've been making edits to Narod Antrell to make sure the article is from a neutral point of view and cleaned up. Before it was written far too much in novella format and it sort of annoyed me, so I decided to make it truly encyclopedic, as if it was a good Wookieepedia article. Also, I have been making revisions, so that when I do re-continue Knighthood, things are clear. For example, I made Selam a, because that idea is far more plausible than a , especially since I only made her a Varactyl in the first place because of Episode III (Boga). Stuff like that has been mixed up a bit and changed around for the sake of plausibility. Other major changes included the duel between Narod and Si'va Morrer being moved from Coruscant to Voktunma, which is leagues more plausible. Anyway, thanks for the compliment, but unfortunately, I do see Knighthood on hold for awhile. I am really glad you like it though. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes  <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 18:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Chosen One
I've made some changes to The Chosen One after the past two days. Yesterday, I revised Mace's dialogue in Chapter Ten to make it more SLJ-like and I expanded the detail on the Ophuchi compound and the statue of the prophet in Chapter Eleven. Today, I revised some of Sarus' dialogue and added some more reactionary detail in Chapter Twelve. I'm currently in the process of revising the meeting with Bib Fortuna by moving the meeting from Jabba's Palace to an office in Anchorhead. Just as a taste of where the meeting is, if you recall the Hunting Lodge from KOTOR then it's that same place. It'll say that Jabba had bought it and converted part of it into his office. I figured I'd use that since I love my KOTOR tie-ins. It's also an opportunity to show some real interaction with Annikin and one of his friends, something that I haven't really done so far. I'll let you know when that's finished. When it is, I'll finally be able to start working on Chapter Fourteen. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 00:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, I also figured I'd let you know that I'm going to start working on The Legend of Ussej Padric Bac again. Since that and The Chosen One are right around the same place now and will be roughly the same length at the end, I figured I'd do a few chapters at a time from both of them, then a few chapters from the next one, etc. I'm really only doing it like this because if I ever want to go past Episode III in my Alt Saga, then readers will need to see the Bac Trilogy since Episode IV would basically spoil the entire thing.

 * Dang it. I'll get the title right one of these days. Second, I never said that it had to be a canonical setting to lend it credence. I just said that doing so helps the story. Many official authors don't use pre-existing planets in their books, and there's nothing wrong with that. You don't have to be a Jedi to take down a Sith . . . it just helps. Same kind of analogy.

This new revised version is nine full pages in length, making this the longest chapter I've actually ever written, lol. Anyway, recent changes won't really do it justice, so you might as well just start on the actual page at the third part.

On a completely different note
Luckily I use "Alternative", not "Alternate". But, I do agree. They seem to be becoming more and more common, and I think "Alternate" is misused unless there are massive changes to the film stories and the EU stories like I've done, not just a rewrite of the movies. "Remake" would be better fitting for some of this stuff. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 22:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Book cover

 * Hey Atarumaster, I was wondering, how did you create such a great book cover for your book? I want to create my own, but what program did you use and how did you create the cover? Did you use a tutorial, or what? Thanks. -- Joe--Obi--Butler (''' Alternative Saga) (Watcha Need?') 00:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The fast answer is that I didn't. All of the Force Exile covers were done by the incredible Solus, but I believe he uses PhotoShop. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Hahaha. I've pulled similar tricks to the RC (Recent Changes) patrollers on Wookieepedia and always enjoyed the results. Good to see some things are still the same. :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 01:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Location article
Hey man, do you mind if I use the location in fan fiction article you wrote for my website in this weeks edition of CUSWFN? We need a media article and I think this'll fit. Let me know. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 19:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't care one way or another about the CUSWFN. That's an incredibly vague answer, but really, I don't care. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 03:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Article
Whilst I see you don't care much for CUSWFN, I really loved your Force Exile series, and I have a question. Would you like to, or may we, write an article for CUSWFN about the Force Exile series? I'd really love to publicise such a great series as yours. My page iChat What I've done 06:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, go ahead. I'm glad you liked it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. Is it OK if, after we review it, I ask you a few questions, so that a proper article can be written about it? [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 16:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll get back to you with some questions today. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 06:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, here are the questions: This will be an article on all three novels, making it very long, and I already have one article in the line, so it will be published not in this weeks but next weeks edition. Any more questions I think up will be sent to you. My page iChat What I've done 16:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Responses

 * When did you start the Force Exile series?
 * In terms of the actual novels, the exact date is lost to me, but the first segment of Force Exile I was written around the turn of the year between 2006 and 2007. The first segment was posted on SWF in April. A very, very loose rough draft existed on Wookieepedia some time prior to that back when the rules there on fanon were less restricting, but thankfully it's gone, aside from my copy. I call that my first draft; there have been several others.


 * What was your inspiration for the series?
 * My brother and I had done some very fast and loose RPing a few years earlier, by which I mean we didn't bother with a lot of books or rules, just pure, straight adventure. While we included several canon Original Trilogy characters, a weapons engineer named Sarth Kraen kept coming up as one of my main characters. A Jedi brother who was rediscovered after years of separation was the focal point of another adventure. There's also a major character that my brother came up with, but I've been saving that one for a future work and my lips are sealed in that direction. Putting it on SWF was I believe the result of some discussion with Riffsyphon1024.


 * What would you feel is the best part of your novels?
 * Well, I'd have to be quite the egotist to really answer this question. I can tell you that it's not dialogue. I'm particularly proud of the job I did with Chapters 7 and 8 of Force Exile I-it wasn't easy to write, but I happen to think it's one of the better pieces I've written. On a larger scale, I've been told I do a good job of researching the existing canon and paying a lot of attention to the fine details of a scene, as well as the overall characterizations.


 * Which of your novels do you feel is the best?
 * Why, my next one, of course. I can't really say without input from readers, though. My opinion doesn't count for very much compared to what readers say.


 * What hopes do you have for the third novel when it's finished?
 * That it'll be finished? Obviously, I hope readers will like it and will find it to be a good, solidly-written story. I'm not out to revolutionize anything; I just enjoy writing enough to keep doing it.


 * What did you hope to achieve with the novels?
 * Make Brandon Rhea work really hard to keep up with me. :P All kidding aside, I hope to develop my personal abilities and writing style and hopefully entertain readers enough that they forget how they just wasted a few hours of their lives reading my books. I'd also like to see a bit more good fanfic on SWF and if Force Exile does nothing else than inspire someone to write something better, then that's something.


 * Which is your favourite character?
 * For the purposes of who is the most fun to write, either Spectre or Cassi. Yes, they're polar opposites. Cassi still has a lot of the childlike innocence that I think a lot of adults wish they had and her unsoiled, optimistic outlook on life is hard not to like. Spectre is fun to write mostly because of the mass destruction he's capable of causing and because it's fun to me to take a stereotype like "clone trooper" and turn it into a complex, multi-faceted individual. Not that I dislike the others, but these are the most enjoyable to write.


 * Which part of Force Exile do you think is your best literary masterpiece?
 * Wait, these are supposed to be literary masterpieces? That wasn't in the contract I signed! :-P I'd be humiliated to stack anything I've written against works by authors such as Faulkner, Shelley, Tolkien, or Fitzgerald. There's a lot of archetypes, allusion and symbolism and even a bit of allegory woven into the middle of Force Exile III, but that's another question I'd have to defer to the readers.


 * Anything else at all that you could tell us.
 * A lot of people have helped me work on these novels. I've had help from my brother, a friend of mine who's the inspiration for Annita Daowot, Solus, who provided my covers, and Brandon Rhea, who left me a very thorough review of Force Exile I. I do have some future works planned after Force Exile III and I might as well leak some details here. One of them, previously referred to as Project True Circle, is a short story set in the 11-9 BBY area. It should be released during the summer, but I've been working on storyboarding and diagramming the characters since January. And that's all I have to say about that.

Chapter Fourteen
First off, it certainly is a challenge keeping up, so you're doing your job well. Second, I just wanted to let you know that The Chosen One: Chapter Fourteen - Freedom is FINALLY up. Vic hasn't been on to edit it yet, but I figured I'd give you the heads up. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 18:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * It would seem you had to leave the irc, so could you email me back with what you thought of it. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I had an unexpected disconnection, but I'm back now. I can either e-mail you my thoughts or I'm in there again. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 20:35, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks so much for the reply and help; it's really great! I'll be sure to work on it, and take your points into consideration. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 06:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Ataru. I thought seeing that you are very good at giving reviews, would you like to be nominated for the new high priest election? I think you have the perfect qualities for being a high priest! You are very good at reviewing. How about it? I was going to nominate you but I thought its better to ask first.-- Supreme General Arav (Blast 'em!)  . 05:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the thought, but as I already said on the nomination page-since you decided to go ahead and nominate me without waiting for my response-I'm not interested in the position of High Priest. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
