Welcome, and have fun...

I didn't mean to sound like I was nitpicking, so I'm sorry if my words came out the wrong way. I meant for it to sound like "hey, I never realised this," and poke a bit of fun at myself. Doesn't look like it turned out that way though... :unsure:

Anyway, sorry about all that guys. Let's move on.

If you want to know what the Autobot symbol is, just look at thebigdeal's avatar.
On-topic... holy moley. Never realised. :blink:

Baby squashes taste funny. :blink:

This cough of mine is still here... still driving me up the wall.

Wha? What song is that from?

That'd be "Who Needs You" from LBT 4.

What was one of the first great fanfictions you read? And what is your favorite car?

One of the first great fanfictions? Hmmm... that's a hard one. I've been reading Fanfics since I was 10, and even then it had nothing to do with LBT. I guess the first Fanfic I read that I considered great was a Star Fox story. I can't remember the title, but I think it charted Fox and Falco's early days at the space flight academy. I really liked it.

Favourite car? Aw jeez... this is going to need even more thought. :blink: I might list my favourites in each category.
ROAD CARS:
-Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
-Lotus Seven (kinda like a race car that can be driven on the road)
-Aston Martin DB9
-Mazda RX-8
-BMW M3

RACE CARS:
-BMW Williams FW25, just for the sound of it.
-Audi R10 - it's a diesel, and it wins races, which is super cool.
-Any car that raced under the Supertouring Touring Car regulations in the 1990s. The '98 British Touring Car Championship was truly the best.
The '98 British Touring Car Championship was truly the best.
- Aston Martin DBR9: The sound is indescribable.
-McLaren MP4/4: Ayrton Senna won the 1988 world championship in this car, the most dominant F1 car of all time. If it weren't for Senna being taken out at the penultimate round in Monza, this car would have won all 16 races. This is the best vid I could find of it.

Hope that answers your questions...

I use a mic all the time to communicate with friends during my races... But I've never used Ventrillo before - only TeamSpeak. :unsure:

I'm worried about my Dad. Ever since he's gotten home from seeing his family over east, he hasn't been right.

This is a standard question: What got you interested in Twilight Valley? Do you have any suggestions/critiques for me?

I got interested in Twilight Valley simply because of its premise. I mean, a Land Before Time war story... that's pretty cool. Anything that has LBT mixed with drama/action/sci-fi (take your pick), I'm interested in. Add to that the fact that the story has an excellent plot and is very well-written, and... well, I love it.

As a matter of fact, I do have some pointers that have been on my mind for a while. The only things I find out of place about the story are these:
-The characters of your creation seem barely introduced before they are involved in the plot as if they were a part of it all from the beginning. For example, only a couple of lines or so are dedicated to introducing the characters of Deimos, Raptix and Blue-Scale. Hate to say this, but I would have liked to have seen a description of their history, so that I knew why and how the three sharpteeth knew each other. I'm really sorry, but the first few chapters of the story are incredibly confusing to me... but the rest of it's very good.
-The alliances between the villains are also leaving me slightly flummoxed. Why are Ozzie, Strut, Rinkus and Sierra involved with Claw Valley and the hunt for the Stone of Cold Fire? And why do the former two hate each other's guts all of a sudden? There aren't very many explanations that I can see.
-Speaking of the Stone... I can't help but feel that the story has distanced itself from its original idea. The various sub-plots of the nightflower mission, Ducky's kidnapping and the mission to save her are all excellent, but for many chapters I haven't seen any references to Excidium or the Stone. Probably me not paying attention again, but some sub-plots appear have been left hanging without a resolution. I know that it'll eventually come back around, but it'd be great if, at some point in the future, you could include something to remind the readers why this war started in the first place.

That said, I still love this story. It's one of the most creative ideas I've ever read and I can't wait for new instalments. Keep writing buddy...
