OK... huge headache, but I have urls set up for topics. I think I've gone about it the wrong way, but it is nonetheless functional. I need to do more work on it though. maybe i can leave it for now... I'll have to think on that and see how I feel. anyway, you can now copy the url of the topic you are looking at and share it.

It sounds like a fantastic idea and for the most part, I love it. The only concern I have though, is vetting. If a user can request simply with an email address, some people may feel a bit put off by it. That may actually be not much different from any random person creating an account though. The checkboxes and all that, it sounds great. I think it definitely warrants a lot of thought. It's a great idea. There's always the legal angle. people who are most concerned by that, usually request photos. Personally, I disliked when I had emails set up. It took me away from the community. I also made the decision to use oauth to ensure that users were more likely to be genuine people. bots is a concern. The whole feedback and review angle is also something. want to give users the ability to create their own shelf so they can built an emotional connection with the fanedits they watch, and that might promote more interaction. I think your suggestion has a lot of merit in terms of reach but perhaps not engagement. I'd prefer to drive engagement. Still, your ideas are really good and can still be adapted or drawn from. Thanks for the input it is great to have this perspective.

I think the home page should be intuitive and attractive. FE looks like a chaotic msg board rats nest with random graphics and images. There should be carousel posters when you land - it should be like a streaming service that doesn't "PLAY" but rather allows "REQUESTS" When people select an item, they should have to check three boxes before the "DOWNLOAD" or "REQUEST DOWNLOAD" button turns on. A click that they've read a user agreement; a click that they understand and read Fan Edit laws (provided) - and finally? A check box for the movies related to the fan edit. However many there are, they must click each movie, and clicking is "ATTESTING" - - They need only have an email address, and NO NEEED for an account. That will be the difference to FE and any other site - - I think accounts should be for contributors, and everyone else can use the page like a combination of Netflix UI and IMDB cataloguing. There will be NO cold users; there will be NO fresh eyes or passive movie lovers visiting if we make it as hard as FE. That's my only two cents! ACCESSIBLE - - ATTRACTIVE (for the love of Pete, poster image carousels or something!!) You land, and there's a top bar for website tabs and search; and there's a few beautiful carousel of "NEW RELEASES" / embedded "TRAILERS" and genres or something. No dead space, no dominating text - - Images, images, video, video, more, more, more! Actors talk about the "Recycled $20 bill" and how audiences are often other actors hoping you'll come view their show (and so the price of admission is bounce back and forth) - we should attract NEW people every day who need only love movies. Just top of my head!

I completed the latest messages page. it seems to be all good. I also adjusted the layout of topics so it fills more of the screen and gives more space for the text of the messages. if you don't see it, force refresh to purge the old CSS and it'll update for you. I started working on having urls for the topics and it has been mostly fine for actually assigning the urls, but getting the right topic to load when a url is pasted into an empty address bar has proven a bit more challenging. I need to unify the topic loading sequence into one singular process so I'm not dealing with multiple variables each time.

You guys have a talent here. This is the kind of thing I struggle with. I don't think I have any decent trailer tbh. I think I'm quite good at telling a story and changing focus, etc. but when it comes to music video, I'm just like... *shrug*

My inferior contributions would be a two-way tie! I hope to someday be as polished as you!! https://youtu.be/n6f6fxIsQd4 https://youtu.be/3sIihgnR9Ac

You already know how much I love your cutting! And this is better than anything I've put together, but constructively I'd reconsider the visual lyrics as it leans more toward back when we'd watch Much/MTV music videos for collaborative musicians doing movies; it feels like it's more about "The NIN" of it all rather than the film - - but it doesn't negate your excellent use of imagery (from all sources) and the more than indelible work!! OH! Like Seal, Kiss From a Rose - or "Freddie's Back" for Freddy Krueger - - Music videos would come out and it would blend film and musicians, etc.

Aye! Outside of Canada, New Zealand and some non-English speaking countries, it is fan fiction! Do give the above link a try, it'll stay active! :)

Good thread, thanks for sharing. :) I'd like to add a content warning for the video as there is adult imagery in it, but I think it's OK to post it here as youtube does an adult content filter on it. As long as we're careful I think it's ok.

I'm a bit confused. Is this a fanfiction of James Bond? If so, that's really cool, my brother may really like that. :)

I'm so excited! I hope it brings you enjoy, and appreciate the interest! Fire With His Hands Part 1

I'd like to see them

Everyone, I wanted to make a little discussion since I want to really drive home this trailer with you. I worked so hard on it. It's my favourite and I think best at this point. So glad I was able to finish it. So, post your beat trailer here I want to see everyone's. Post the one you think is your best. I wanna see it! https://youtu.be/f4dvGltQAJg?si=2ivjZ9gwePPGX4F

after I switched this page to a more modular approach, I am now able to create 'versions'. The plan is to have it so you can see more recent posts, it will expand the recent posts to be wider and show more, and you can easily switch back to main view. Javascript was becoming unruly though, with 13 processes listening for mouseclicks. I needed to combine them into one listener, which meant rewrites. I have just a little bit more to do on that, then i can continue. after that I will make it so that topics actually have a url. It'll all work the same, it'll just update your url bar with the path to the topic so you can link to it directly. ETA is the next couple days, tomorrow if all goes well.

In every country except Canada and New Zealand, Ian Fleming's Jame Bond is public domain! Outside of said countries, it is an epic-scale fan-fiction! If you love to read, I'll happily share the e-book of Volume I with you! It mayyyyy be a 254,000 word epic in two volumes. Maybe. "James Bond - Fire With His Hands" I'd love for you to enjoy!

Same here. I am an iMac (Apple Macintosh user) so the key for generating an emoji is probably different for me, I can happily confirm though that this site is perfectly iMac compatible and that I haven't ran into any issues so far.

Heya Prism, it's good to see you here. Although I already spoke to you plenty on Discord, I figured it would be polite to leave a reply here.

It's ok, I'm a night owl. I could certainly look into adding an emojis button. If you're on windows though, you can actually get an emoji input by holding the windows key and pressing fullstop/period.

I really wish I was more fluent in our beautiful native language (I was eventually able to translate your greeting) I definitely owe it to our country and it's awesome flag, dragons are always a win in my book. *Smiley face* Speaking of which heya neighbour it's nice being able to talk with someone who has similar interests, thank you for letting me be apart of the site by the way. *Smiling closed eyes blush emoji* If there isn't an emoji button yet is one planned for the future out of curiosity? I apologise for waking you up, if you need sleep than no worries talk to ya soon.

Croeso! Cymraes dw i 😊 Seems we have a lot in common 🙂

Thy site reveals thy name....I was born in the early 90's therefore under generational categorisation I would be categorised as a 90's kid and a Millennial though as to my place of origin, it began in a village within the continent of Wales (A place that resides to the West of England and South of Scotland for those outside of the UK who may be unfamiliar with the geography) I was diagnosed with Mild Asperger's Syndrome when I was a child and diagnosed again as an adult. I have also self diagnosed myself with OCD which is in eternal onflict with my Dyslexia, there battle wos and still emains legendary. As a Faneditor I edit the following kinds of movies for the following reasons. 1: Films I deem bad and I believe have a chance of redemption as fixing them is very therapeutic for me. 2: Films I deem good but not perfect so that I can have said film meet my standards of perfection, the power of my OCD compels me. 3: Simply because I can, I can rewrite and reedit entire sequences and characters if I so choose as long as there's footage and audio for me to work and rework with. Outside the realms of Fanediting I unofficially practice a form of Martial Arts known as Shotokan Karate and indulge in the practices of various styles of Photography with my favourite forms of photographic experimentation being Landscape and Abstractive shots, I am also into various forms of Anime and Manga that are mainly of the actionized Shonen Jump variety though others have slowly opened up my plethora and intrigue into other genres of Anime and Manga throughout the years. I am also into Comicbooks and Graphic Novels such as TMNT, Batman and the vast majority of Marvel. At least....when there storylines aren't indulging in Retcons and repetitively stagnant writing, Video Games are one of the other forms of multimedia entertainment that I enjoy indulging in to the point where I will constantly revist them in differing ways such as creating my own challenge runs or custom characters with their own set of skills, backstories and differing aspects of morality if said games happen to be RPG's. Otherwise I will simply revist said medium as a means to pass the time or for the sake of nostalgic value. When it pertains to online and offline discussions I despise subjects concerning IRL Politics, Climate Change, Actor and Author related controversies and Religion VS Religion related debates along with Atheism VS Religion debates. Such topics have not only inflicted serious damage upon my mental health but have stained and sometimes outride destroyed my various related bonds I have formed with people throughout the years. So if I don't partake in discussion threads related to such topics or I attempt to steer the conversation elsewhere and avoid addressing said subjects entirely if someone tries to engage in said discussions with me well....now you know why, on a more light hearted related note I enjoy previewing and reviewing other Faneditors edits though I like to familiarise myself with the original source material first as I feel that is the best way to not only aide one during previewing but it also adds more fuel for me to strengthen my style of reviewing a Fanedit. As long as said Fanedit doesn't delve into the distressing themes I mentioned above, doesn't contain animal related gore and isn't a full blown musical than whenever I have the freetime I am happy to help should one desire my help....naturally if one wishes to know more about me or is interested in viewing my Fanedits feel free to PM me (once Private Messaging has been implemented/is already implemented depending on the time and day one should choose to read introduction)

I've added media embedding for youtube. Only youtube is available for this right now. if other video sites or audio sites would be needed, please let me know.

When I watched the latest and final installment in the Mission Impossible franchise I left dissapointed. I didn't hate it, but it was overly theological, long, boring, etc. If you love it, that's great! If you don't, well maybe this can help. What am I doing? Well I am working on fixing MI:8 to be yes in some places a bit slower but not lose itself in exposition dumps and create an epic final tale. With Ethan Hunt and his team on one last mission that by all accounts will be "impossible". A big change will be (spoiler hidden) But, I can't fix that. :_: I have so far made the following cuts The opening no longer has the A.I flashback Presidents Message is in mindset of potentially getting edited down or chopped altogether Paris no longer has a flashback to Gabriel telling her she will betray him I am planning to remove the flashback of her remembering Ethan saving her Grace no longer has a flashback explaining who sent her to Ethan, instead Ethan just knows by her dialogue. Ethan makes no remark that he needs his "cuff-links" to escape he just assures her he has a plan (might reverse) When Ethan is picked up by the government we know longer have a random conversastion about how the guy's dad was killed by Ethan so the son now hates Ethan, blah blah, no cut it all. I am definetly removing the ice-dome romance scene completely. I might even look to the deleted footage reel THIS is the only stuff I have SO far I am going to make more cuts. But this is what I've got as of 10/25/26 @10:06PST. I will make more edits For my work so far here's clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k1NhC4FkCY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KJNR_x-5-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EJckYyjGnY I've also worked to cut down the Entity & Ethan chat, it got a bit too religious for me with the "As it is written" and "you are the chosen one" so I cut it down. V1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C0ItAEzkyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU-aFqWYhmc V2 this one is a bit longer but makes more sense and has less editing glitches. But neither are the final, I'd love to see feedback. I must give a shout out to Spence a fe.org member for their minor assistance and idea discussion.

I ate a bit of pigs cheek, I basically bought a pig head and boiled it. It wasn't very nice. I probably should have considered superior cooking methods.

I've also added a width option to img bbcode, so large images can be hotlinked without overwhelming the page.
