❗ The correct way of how to ask for a fan project on the OriginalTrilogy•com ❗

Firstly, take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesn’t - before posting requests for projects on here…

Then, read through the thread of the project you are interested in - there is usually information in there on how to acquire a project - often in the very first post. If no such information is to be found in the project thread…
 

then simply send a polite PM to the fan editor / preservationist asking them for links or information on how to obtain it
 

…and after that a little bit of patience is required. It is likely that the Fan Edit author / owner isn’t online every day - or even every week - and may have a ton of queries or other stuff to get through before dealing with and replying to your request.

If you haven’t heard anything back after some time (over a month or so…) then simply make a post in the project thread stating you’ve had no success in contacting the project creator - and politely ask if anyone else can provide you with a link - other members of the community on here may be in a position to help you. This also applies if the fan editor / preservationist is obviously no longer about this site anymore.

Additionally, it is also recommended to read through a project thread to see if any fellow members are offering project links via PMs.

⛔ Do NOT simply just post ‘a request’ for links in a project thread on here (unless asked to do so by the editor or preservationist).
Doing so just fills threads up with endless link requests… which often both deters and disrupts any ongoing discussions on the projects themselves, further ideas, much-valued feedback, and also reviews occurring in such threads, etc.

Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.

NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored or deleted.

⛔ Do NOT create a new thread asking ‘for a link to’… to Harmy’s Despecialized, TN1’s 4K77/80/83, adywan’s Revisited Edits, the Hal9000 Edits, or any other project listed on this site. It is for you to take 5 minutes and go find the relevant project on here, for you to then read up on what the project is about, and then how to acquire it. Do not ask / expect others to do this simple task for you - we’ve had hundreds of such entitled requests over the years - and the patience of OT•com community members understandably wears thin. If thousands of people have managed to find, read up on, and then acquire these projects listed on here over the years… then you can too. A little patience - and a ‘read first - post after’ mantra - goes a long way on here…

⛔ FAO new members to the OriginalTrilogy•com: You will not be able to send a PM for the first 7 days after joining this site.
Do NOT make ‘link request’ posts for fan projects in any of the threads on here. Instead, use the time to look around and see how this community forum functions, our site rules & fan project rules, read through any of the pinned ‘Index & Help’ & ‘How Do I Do This?’ threads, as well as any of the fan project threads that may be interest you - and join in the conversations on here.

Leave some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or join in the discussions about the Original Trilogy - or the wider Galaxy Far Far Away. Or participate in the discourse here on film, tv, music, art, books & comics, gaming, tech, history, sports… or life in general etc. Read up on how some of the many fan projects on here are made / evolve / come together - or check out the talented artists’ cover artwork, and budding authors’ stories, script-writing, and re-writes.

Simply becoming an active and participating member of the community on here means a significantly better chance of others helping you out in acquiring any fan projects you may be looking for…

Joining up here and then creating a new thread along the lines ‘Give me the link to X’, ‘Where is project Y’, or going straight into a project thread and posting ‘How do I get these?’ or ‘Link, please?’ doesn’t really fly on here - and will likely be ignored or deleted.

The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects featured on this site - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.

Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy•com - you’ve taken your first steps… 👍

☑️ Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review… and join in with the discussions on this forum!

A great deal of time, love, dedication, and effort… goes into the making of near-on all the projects that appear on here.

So if and when you do watch an Edit or Project, please remember to leave some feedback for the Editor / Preservationist etc - whether on a technical level, ideas for additional changes / edits or alternatives, some constructive criticism (keep it civil), how much you enjoyed it, or even just a simple ‘thank you’…

Reviews are also much appreciated and valued by the project creators - helping them improve for any future versions, or for any other prospective projects.

^ More info on the above can be found here: Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review…

☑️ General Info…

Fan Edit & project authors are responsible for the availability / distribution of their releases - it may well be frustrating that you have found information on a long sought-after project on here (or elsewhere) - and yet have no way of acquiring it, though unfortunately on occasion that is the way it is…

☑️ A polite request for fan project creators…

Fan editors & preservationists are asked to keep their project threads (and thread titles) updated as to their status - whether their project is in the… ‘Planning’ or ‘Idea’ stages, if any ‘Help Needed’ is required, is a ‘Work In Progress (a WIP)’, or hopefully ‘Finished’ or 'Released’ - or even unfortunately ‘Unfinished’, ‘Cancelled’ or ‘On Hiatus’ etc.

The site staff also ask that fan editors & preservationists include information in the opening post of their project thread as to how they would like members to ask about obtaining their projects; whether that is by sending them a PM, or asking for link requests in the project thread itself, or by other means. Thank you.

Some information about The 2020 re-organisation of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site - and more…

☑️ For anyone creating a new thread that is NOT a fan project…

Please give fellow members a clear idea of what the thread is about. For example, add ‘Query’, or ‘Info’, ‘Discussion’, ‘Help: looking for…’, ‘Help Wanted’, ‘Info Wanted’, ‘Has anyone done a project on X?’, or ‘Idea: for Project X’ etc to the thread title. It annoys members to see lazily titled threads that appear to be projects on here - to open them - and only to find it is some lazy git just looking for a project, or wanting a link, or more info, or wanting someone else to make a project for them etc. Please do not make new threads for which there are project threads already in existence.

☑️ The important rule on many a Fan Project site is…

‘Before obtaining any fan project, you must be in ownership of the official retail release’.

Another rule is do not post direct download links to Fan Edits or Preservations etc on this site (though links to a short demo or trailer is fine) - the What kind of download links can I post on this site? post contains more info & details.

Note: OriginalTrilogy•com is NOT responsible for the availability of ANY Fan Edits or Preservation projects that appear in threads on the site - that responsibility lies with the owner / author of the respective project.

❗ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation Project I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❗

Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review… (and join in with the discussions on this forum!)

This thread was originally titled:-

‘Where can I find X?’, ‘Is there an Edit of film X?’, Searches, FAQs, Myspleen, and more…

^ yet has in recent times been surpassed and supplanted by other useful info in the threads listed above.

An archived version of this thread in its original form can be found here: https://archive.ph/wip/x0CWz (24th February, 2025)

13. I’ve read about someone else’s project and I want a copy. What should I do?

 
Firstly, please read the forum rules - you may only obtain a fan edit if you own the official retail release.

Do NOT start a new thread in the forum requesting something, or post a list of DVDs offered for trade. Such threads will be deleted immediately.

Reading the project thread should give you an indication of what method the creator has chosen for distribution, if indeed it is to be distributed at all. (See 7-8).

The I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? post should also be of some help on asking how to acquire a project on here.
 

Certain members have taken it upon themselves to distribute fan edits and preservation DVDs on Usenet (newsgroups) or torrent sites. You should be able to find out if the project is available for download in one of these threads. Torrent reseed or Usenet repost requests should be posted in the appropriate thread; don’t start a new thread.

If you need help with a torrent client or downloading from newsgroups, you can make a post in the technical discussion forum. Please try to keep general newsgroup or torrent questions out of project feedback threads.

If the creator had started a PIF chain and you want to get on it, post a message in the project thread.

Some members are open for trade or B&P offers on discs they have obtained. This correspondence should be carried out privately. If you send a private message to someone, please have the courtesy to make sure that “allow PMs” is turned on in your user profile - otherwise they will not be able to reply!

Originaltrilogy•com does not accept any responsibility or have any control over:

• activities that may occur through private email correspondence of its forum members,
• or for files/data that may be found elsewhere on the internet.

 

Harmy has put up a video on youtube - just to remind everyone that Fan Edits must never be bought or sold.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 - a 4 minute video at the Harmy Despecialized youtuhe channel.

Personally, as a member here, I’d encourage everyone to watch it and upvote that video.

You may have better luck with a request for text removal / a textless version in the ‘DVD Covers, Disc Labels, and Other Fan Artwork’ section - this section is really for non-Star Wars stuff like Fan Edits 😉

There are some very talented people in there who may be able to help - or who may even have a textless version of that picture already 😃

I think Tyler0013 was working on that poster - or one very much like it…
 

Edit: a simple google image search turned up this…

For the largest quality size I could find of that image, try this link below:-

Guys, does anyone know if there is a fanedit of Star Trek Enterprise last episode ? I’m rewatching the show but I don’t really want to finish with the terrible official last episode, so if there is on that cuts out all of the TNG material to leave the focus on Archer, I would welcome it.

Thanks in advance ! 😃

Enterprise Finale - No Next Generation: These Are The Voyages by ‘Insignia34’ over at FE may be of interest, Mala 😃

Does anyone have my edits of Harry Potter 6-7? Due to circumstances, I’ve lost the finished renders.

Hello, everyone. I know this website is mainly about Star Wars and even though this thread is about non-Star Wars edits, I don’t see any one talk about horror movies. Specifically, Nightmare on Elm Street. Is it possible that anyone has the edit by Dr. Sapirstein called, “Nightmare on Elm Street Anthology Volume 1”?

Does anyone know where I can find/have a link to “The Sensational Spider-Man” by Samspider 3?

I am interested in Spicediver’s glorious edit of Dune (1984), which was rebuild recently, as seen here:
https://ifdb.fanedit.org/dune-1984-the-alternative-edition-redux-special-1080p-edition/

Does anyone have it?

Does anyone have access to Kerr’s Hobbit Arkenstone editions? Would love to see them, loved the first one but didn’t realize he finished the set.
