Your story has always been good. I am trying to read it fully now. It's nice you have continued the story. It's always hard to find collaboration, anyway. I got Proxima to help me, for instance, but she seems to be busy enough to help me right now. --Davinci - talk 19:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

sorry that I didn't reply. I've been REALLY BUSY lately. I'll be taking a break from Wikia for a while, just until my schedule gets fixed. Who knows how long that will be. Sorry again. i've missed writing.--God&#39;sGirl94 (Talk) 19:11, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

i have started reading My Beloved Girlfriend from the beginning and I have some questions about it. It needs some editing for grammar and such, can I go ahead and fix it. MaximusfuqwitII 06:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Dude I don't mind if you add on to Tick Tick but at least try to follow in the vein of the story ok? I of course reserve the right of final edit ;^) Oh I have made a few changes to my beloved girlfriend and I have some questions, come into IRC so we can discuss the story.MaximusfuqwitII


 * I just came to say hi ; ). You're lucky with the talk page welcome things, I've just been completely ignored despite the wikia thingymiwhatsit : (. I think you're like, the total opposite of me: if I start a story I generally want to finish it myself. I've been lucky so far but then collaboration is the way of the wikis, I guess. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  09:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Try several alternatives:


 * Go to http://irc.wikia.com and choose #fiction-wikia
 * Go to http://java.freenode.net and type #wikia-fiction as the channel
 * Go to mibbit.com, choose Freenode as the network and #wikia-fiction
 * Use mIRC client and do the same
 * Install chatzilla if you use firefox

I doubt all 5 give you a virus warning... --Davinci - talk 16:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

HMMM.....
What OS are you running? What is giving you a virus warning?MaximusfuqwitII 17:28, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Windows?
What anti-virus is it?

My Beloved Girlfriend
Sorry, I'm only really good at writing stories about animals :(. I wouldn't mind looking through maybe for spellchecking or something, but right now I have my hands full because I have two actual novels I'm trying to publish so I need to read through them ;). Thanks anyway. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  08:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for asking, but I think I'll pass on contributing to this story. --CLJohnson 21:59, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

You Can Write More Fictional Television Shows Filming in Sea City, Florida
You can write more fictional television shows filming in Sea City, Florida with any editor who feels like collaborating with you. &#91;&#91;Ericthebrainiac&#93;&#93; 21:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want collaboration from maximus or me, the only way is you go to IRC, it seems. Else, you will go on talking to yourself, mwahahaha. And I know you will since you wont. --Davinci - talk 22:58, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Just curious... why dont you write your story yourself?
Just curious... why dont you write your story yourself? Count the time you have used asking people to collaborate... maybe you could have finished the story if you had devoted that time to writing. From more than 10 users you have asked and said no... dont you conclude anything about collaboration? --Davinci - talk 00:49, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

If you really want collaboration, the only answer is IRC, by now. But you wont. So good luck with your way of bugging evert user you find, regardless of whether they active or not... No offense. --Davinci - talk 23:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, just because he wants a little help writing a story doesn't mean you need to start telling him stuff like that he's "never" going to get any. Although I guess, Eric (mind if I call you that?), asking every single user who pops up is going a bit too far. I think maybe, instead of asking everyone to help you, maybe just put something on your user page saying you don't mind people helping you. Not garunteed to work, I know, but it gives people a better impression, and it's probably more likely to work. And then you might also have a better chance of it being accepted for collab of the month (I think there's one here, isn't there?) -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  08:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

>just because he wants a little help writing a story doesn't mean you need to start telling him stuff like that he's "never" going to get any.

I did not mean to be rude.

I said: the only answer is IRC, by now. But you wont.

"You won't" means that he won't go to IRC, not that he won't get any help! He has got helped in collaboration from me in the past... but he used to bug me DAILY about helping more to the point I got tired of it and stopped collaborating. I am just trying to say to him that it's not the way to look for collaboration. Nobody can oblige anyone to do that. The best way is as you say, putting notices somewhere and waiting... it requires patience. For instance, I received collaboration on 2 of my stories and then people quit doing it. It's something nobody can control. People have the inspiration for some time then we lose it. What I have been trying to say is that if he wants collaboration, he can get it if he goes to IRC.

Anyway, it's a matter of point of view. If he enjoys asking for collaboration more than writing stories... nothing I can do. --Davinci - Davincithemaniac 17:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hehe, my sentence sounds hypocrite now that I realize it's months since I don't write fiction but only come here to put messages in this page... --Davinci - talk 17:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

If you want collaboration, write a meta. Else, how will collaborators know about your plans for the story? And where will they put their own ideas before writing them? Check VirileMail/2008 or The search for Kalid/meta for ideas on what a meta is. One of the reasons I did not collaborate anymore with your story is that it lacked a meta. The way we were collaborating was not collaboration since you and I were writing separate things. I just expanded your ideas but I could never create anything new for your story, since for that I would have to know what you had planned for certain parts or have a better idea of where the story was heading. Have in mind that everyone who may join your story in the future will need to know your plans to continue the story, I guess. It is what maximus has been saying all this time. --Davinci - talk 18:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Some questions out of curiousness...
First of all... what is the reason you don't go to IRC? Sorry to be nosy or anything but Davinci was saying that you wouldn't go there and I just wondered what the reason was.

Second... how can people actually collaborate on a story anyway? Then you'd just get parts of the story written one way, and other parts written in another. Although to be honest I'm the kind of person who likes to do their own thing.

Lastly... and I'm probably being at a big risk of being shouted at by Davin here... would you like me to help you maybe get some collab on My Beloved Girlfriend? I'm not entirely sure how to help you yet (I certainly won't be able to do it myself since I'm not too keen on love-y stuff and I'm useless when it comes to collaborating, and I could give you an example but I also think that putting too much in one pair of brackets is a bad idea) but I have a vague sort of idea...

OK... phew, glad that's over with. Please excuse the nicknames and stuff but I think having nicknames for people is nice ;). -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  12:29, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I never thoght I'd say this, but... could you just STOP asking every single user in sight (or... something like that) to help with your story? I have a bad feeling it might make people think you're annoying (... no offense). Basically, what would you think of me if I went round to you and everyone asking for help on A Cat on a Quest. Would you actually want to help? (... I'm not asking really but I kinda lost track on that story anyway so you can have it if you wish ;)). Anyway, my point is, it might make users think there's nothing much else to do on the site. Sorry if I'm making you feel like everyone is against you (trust me, I've been in a situation like that before) but I'm just tring to get my point across. I do have and idea though. Like I said before, but slightly more... whateveryoucallit. If you just greet users when the come, like with a cheery hi and stuff, not mentioning your story, they won't see you as a nuisance. Then you can put a little box at the top of your userpage, saying you wouldn't mind some help on My Beloved Girlfriend. I'd advise you take off the bits about how well you are doing without any help if you do that. Maybe copy the box to the top of your talk page as well. I know that, since the users are likely to click on links to your user and talk pages, this will be more likely to work than just asking them to hellp straight off. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  18:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Eric, Melon is right. You have created a very nice and long story mostly by yourself. Congratulations. Now I think I will drop this subject, because I might be becoming pushy about this. --Davinci - talk 18:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I guess my opinion is clear about asking people to help with stories so I won't re-state them. Besides, it's no purpose at all to post messages to INACTIVE users in here. Check their contributions and see what I mean. You're posting content to people is no longer here, which purpose? --Davinci - talk 20:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Something about dweebs...?
Where did that come from? I never called anyone a dweeb (fyi, I don't actually know what a dweeb is anyway :p). Anyway, I do use exclamation marks, infact on StrategyWiki I was told that I was using too MANY exclamation marks! How can you use too many exclamation marks!? ;) -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

A collaboration
Do you want to make some kind of story with me in a collaboration-type thing? For no specific reason other that that I need to learn how to do collaboration on this site and so you don't think that no one wants to work with you anymore ;). I know a few things I would like the story to be about (otherwise there is a chance I might lose interest, which happens relatively easily for me but never mind). First, I would like it to be about some kind of pet, I would like it to be some kind of adventure, but I don't want it to be a script-ype thing because I'm rubbish at stuff like that (and I don't like Shakespear's books all that much). Anyway, you want to go along with it?
 * Thought it through yet? Sorry I'm very impatient ;). Unless you're ignoring me... oh darn, I just realised that I didn't sign last time. Well, that was me anyway ;). Just look in the history. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:48, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that you were sorry that- OK, this could go on a while ;). But what I really wanted to know was what you thought of my idea. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  18:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * So... are you in? (Sorry I keep bugging you but when I ask a question I like to get an answer... hope I'm not sounding rude) -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  18:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I can imagine a fable in Sea City, Florida, if you get what I mean. --Davinci - talk 18:35, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

It's OK to tell me you don't want to do a collab with me, I don't mind. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  08:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoa, whoa, WHOA! I wasn't asking you if you want to collab on MBG, I was talking about something else. Because, no matter what, I seem to be rubbish at spript-style stuff. I can only do stuff that's stories. Sorry (as far as I'm concerned, you have talent at scripty stuff!) --  M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:35, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, would you like to help with Slueth Cat? I'm not being a hypocryt (however you spell that) just you seem to want to be in collaboration... I'd understand if you didn't want to, since I haven't really helped with MBG (other that adding a bracket). -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:11, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I am a bit curious. How old are you? --Davinci - talk 21:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, just read the first chapter (if you call it a first chapter) of MBG, and it seems pretty good, though probably I'm too young to be reading that sort of stuff ;). Still interesting. Howcome the first part of the story is like a story/script, the bit called "police" is sort of a story and the rest is script-ish? -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  12:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey how about I'll read your story and you read mine? ;). I've got onto your part of MBG now and I'm writing another story called Police Cat. Just a random question: do you like cats? :) -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  12:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, my story is sort of about a cat that think's it's a dog. And also a reply from one of the other messages you left me, I haven't got to chapter 10 on MBG yet. I have an idea you are free to use (you may have already) and that's that someone could be attacked by a shark ;). Because I hear that the beaches in Florida are surrounded by sharks. Forgive me if you've already used or thought of this. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  12:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe I can help you with MBG after all :D. I may not be good at scripts but I can think up ideas ;) -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  12:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Um... hope you don't mind, but I kinda wanted to do my story myself... and also the kitten only really acts like a dog when it's ability to sniff out things is discovered by other people. Since they don't even know he smelled out the purse yet ;). -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  14:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

OK. So if you're ever short of ideas... you know who to call (well, leave a message on a talk page for, anyway ;)). -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm thinking about it right now. Hmm. Maybe kidnapping? Do the killers want something? If so, they could kidnap people and tell them to give the thing to them or they'll be murdered. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  07:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't really thought of any ideas recently, even for my own stories (I've been so busy working on this website I'm creating for my books). Anyway, I've already given you some ideas ;). And you do know you're asking for help on a book from someone who's just over half your age, right? :P -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  14:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

subpages
I see that Serprex deleted a bunch of your pages. My advice is that you put pages about characters either on subpages such as My Beloved Girlfriend/Rosemarie Jackson or on a "meta page" such as this. --JWSagain 22:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll note that the reason for that was that the category those pages were in was listed for deletionUser:Serprex 13:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, how's it going? Well, I guess Melon can read by herself and you just told her, hahaha. I tell you that JWSchmidt and I finished Kalid and we have been arguing about http://fiction.wikia.com/wiki/The_search_for_Kalid/Book_Cover the picture you see in there, which is a cover. I want you to share your views on the picture and what it says to you, if you wish. --Davinci - talk 20:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * BTW, congrats on MBG becoming featured!... though I guess when you think about it it's not exactly exciting, but at least you get to have a nice template on the page ;). -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  15:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

If I am remembering right, I never actually said I'd "work with you" on MBG anyway- I just came up with an idea once, which I wouldn't really call "working with you". Just so you know I am highly uninterested in writing stuff like that (I don't mind reading it though) and I'd probably mess it up anyway since I know literally nothing about florida apart from that the water is infested with sharks :P. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  09:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Meta
It's nice you created a meta. You might get collaborators... the only problem I see is the story is now huge and it would be a bit hard for people to add things to that story. Good luck. --Davinci - talk 20:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Davinci. is Right
Davinchi is right, Ericthebrainiac, you might get some people to help you now that you finally gotten yourself a Meta for your story. Ericthebrainiac 17:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Now, it's official. You are set for life, baby. Ericthebrainiac 17:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * you know, I'm not sure I can write My Beloved Girl Friend. For starters, that would require alot of research just to understand the characters. I'd have to read the story a few times to continue it. I'm already working on something and I don't have the time. Plus, I'm not realy a soap opera writer. I'm a thriller writer and I'm working on my own story. Sorry.--JOBROSFAN 24 The Jonas Brothers Concert was AWESOME 22:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Would be great if there were other editors. --Davinci - talk 19:11, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

wierd links
If you don't mind my asking, how come you link to things like "this wiki" and "hello" as if people don't know what they are? -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  20:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not talking about in My Beloved Girlfriend, I mean in conversations and stuff on talk pages. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  08:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

A Question
Have you ever thought that maybe, I dunno, not EVERYONE likes writing soap opera? That not everyone might want to work with you? That not everyone wants to do what you tell them to do, namely saying people can write part of MBG and then pestering them if they say no? Of course, there is a chance that Davinci might not believe what I have said, but I'll leave that for him to say himself. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  19:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Melon, this is a topic which you'll find most agree with you on. Reference: IRC. Just sit back and enjoy the performance act of EricthetrolliacUser:Serprex 22:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
