What should I use to record the dialogue in? I don't really have many options to work with now, what are you using? (Trust me, regardless of what it is I'll be able to find it somewhere.)

I would use SoundForge, if you have it. Although you can record this sample however you like.

Lucky you. If I was doing my own, I wouldn't have to lobby so hard to get my wish-list into Trooperman's hands.

Ha ha! You know, it's a lot of fun, but it's also a huge amount of responsibility- trying to satisfy everyone to some extent (particularly you, because you have a lot of great detailed ideas but lack resources to do your own). I feel like I'm trying to improve the MagnoliaFan edit, restore the lost RebelScumb cut, reproduce the vision of MTHaslett, Commander Courage, and many many others, and editing it according to how I think it should be taking precedent over all this. It's a tall and complex order!

Based on your notes it would be really good.

Mine will be really good because it will utilize most if not all of his notes.

To my knowledge, these other fan edits have been done mostly in isolation. Occasionally someone will do an opening crawl for someone else, or something of that sort, but to my knowledge, MagnoliaFan or anyone else did not discuss the concepts with others before starting. I decided to go about it differently, and since nobody I know personally can really help me on this, I'll discuss it with you, from the original concept to the completion of the project. Call me crazy for chatting on an online forum instead of actually working on the thing every minute, but I believe that this really pays off. More than ever before, it's like a group meeting or writing session. That's what I love most about working on this; my edit will now be of such a high caliber because of all your input and advice.

Thanks, everyone.
