User blog:Istilldontknow/A Really Belated Hello? A New Series?

The title says it all. Though I should probably clarify.

I've basically been on this wiki under this account since last year (and was an AWC way before that. In fact, I still sometimes accidentally use my IP address). But in that time, I haven't done anything more than passively comment. Of course the reason I made an account in the first place was to be able to make rap battles, but I clearly have never gotten around to do doing that. But that has all changed, since I've written like one and a half rap battles so far, and plan on writing a lot more. I figure it's going to be way more fun this way. And I'm really excited!

So what is this series? I actually had several ideas bouncing around, like something about comic books or one specifically for same name battles, but the first one seems overdone (and do you have any idea how many comic books you would need to read for research!) and the second one is probably going to be done by Unstable Isotope, so...(I might do the comic book one someday though). My favorite idea, and the one I'm going with, is going to be called Epic Science Battles of History (I realize that seems like an oxymoron, but it isn't). Obviously it will feature scientists. Though, as an aspiring mathematician, I'm putting mathematicians, computer scientists, etc. under "Science". Otherwise the name would have like 50 syllables.

The first one, which I'm going to release this week when I get the formatting worked out, is going to be Edwin Hubble vs. Alexander Oparin. If you don't get the connection (or don't even know who Oparin is, because I sure as heck did not before writing), it's because this is my first battle ever, Hubble is famous for studying the origin of the universe, and Oparin is "famous" for studying the origin of life (he even wrote a book called "The Origin of Life"!). If you think it's a stupid connection, just pretend it's two random unrelated scientists rapping, because the connection only gets a passing reference in the form of Oparin's book.

Also, it would be nice if somebody made the title cards and covers for me, or just told me the fonts used. I think I'm pretty good with Photoshop, so I can probably take it from there. Thanks in advance.

Of course, if you have suggestions, I'd be happy to take them. It doesn't matter how obscure the scientist is, as long as he has a Wikipedia page, I can probably do something.

That's basically all I have to say on my first ever blog post (if we all ignored that thing a few days ago, since happily deleted…). Even though I've been here for a good part of a year, this is basically a new beginning. So I hope I'm going to have a great time!
