Okay, so I know this is technically a sock, but hear me out.
I am actually the user “DominicCobb.” This is a profile I made awhile ago. Today, I happened across the members list, and decided to look myself up. It got me thinking about the strange way in which I joined the FE.org community, and got me wondering how others joined.
So, it was early 2009, maybe April. I was looking up Star Wars on Wikipedia because I was bored, and I came across, while looking a the page for Episode I, this thing called “The Phantom Edit.” I read the whole page. From there I went to the page for “Fan edits,” and from there, I clicked on a link to Fanedit.org.
My mind was blown. For who knows how long I had been making “edits” in my head. I would many times watch movies thinking how they could be improved by taking out a scene, or how they could be made even more interesting by putting in a deleted scene or mixing it with another movie. I had mostly been making “edits” of the Star Wars films, primarily because I love SW and hoped that Lucas would someday make a good change that would make his films better.
Now, my computer was not the type for downloading, so I didn’t even try. Until September 16, 2009 (I guess) when I decided to sign up. And then... I didn’t do anything. (As you can see this is my first post.) I can’t remember why. I think it was because the whole unzipping thing really confused me (I didn’t even know what a rar file was).
Later, I tried to download SW Revisited via torrent, but the download was going to take a very long time (days), so I gave up. For a long time. I still checked back on FE periodically to see what people were cooking up, but I didn’t try to download. That probably sounds pretty weird to you guys, but I was making these “edits” in my head with no hope of ever accomplishing anything with them, so I was content with not downloading.
Until last August, when I tried to torrent again (I never use torrents), this time the Planet of the Apes TV show because I couldn’t find it anywhere. Using a torrent reminded me of SW Revisited, so I tried to torrent that and it didn’t work. I decided to go to the forums, this time with a new account (because I forgot my old password and wanted a new username). I got help, was impressed with how quick to assist and pleasant the people were, and I joined the community. Hi guys!
What’s your story?
