First, cheese. Just wanted to say that before I forget. Second, I have been waiting for a while, trying to get some ideas together, and I might be able to help as well. My main idea deals with the fact that this wiki can be easily described as... well... unorganized. Respectable and prolific writers have their stories all mixed in with people who have a few ideas, but cannot pilot them, and so leave the wiki with three articles chock-full-o-misspellings to their name, never to return. I propose that we combine all of these tiny, struggling, unused elements into a single set of many larger elements. (And no, not elemental powers, but they will be part of the program if it goes through.) Everyone who has come to this wiki has left a mark, and while that mark may not be a productive stroke in the huge wall mural of the wiki, they, unlike my proverbial paint, can still be arranged to do so. I've been a bit busy lately, what with the Wiki Magna Wiki fiasco I was involved in, many personal projects, and things of that nature, but soon to now I will have a lot of free time, and I wouldn't mind using some of it to help out the wiki. Right now, the only way that anyone from any different writers can get together is in "awesom fgihts 2 hte death!!!", which I think is a shame. If everyone's characters were all in the same seven or eight universes, then we could have a lot more progress, and a lot of opportunities for stories. If nobody wants to do that, this at least be a stepping stone for multi-editor understanding. I tried something like this before, where I went into articles that hadn't been edited since somewhere around 2008 and tried to put them into one big continuity, but I didn't get any official say-so and ended up stepping on a lot of toes. Well, about four people's. But still, they were people of many edits and generally didn't like my interference. So, now I hope to do it in conjunction with others, so that it works as a community effort, instead of one guy changing things, because I'm pretty sure that you guys took that as vandalism the first time, even though I had only productive intentions. Any ideas for how I should go about this "merger", if you will? Anyone want to volunteer to help? Anyone have anything that they think should be tossed into the improvement vat? I realize that I should probably be posting this somewhere else, but here, I can get people to look at it and consider. Plus, I don't know where else something like this should go, frankly. (Also, I've gotten ideas together during my long absence to advance along the story pieces that I was hoping to contribute personally, like finishing up that City of the Skrall story that I realized that I just sort of abandoned here while everything was unexplained and the backstory looked really lame from an outsider's perspective. So if nobody wants me helping with anything else here, I will at least help that story out. It desperately needs advancement at this point. So yes, I will be returning, even if it's only to finish that. It's actually a lot more complicated than my messy descriptions of Skrall armed with fruit baskets and Baterra that just up and leave make it look like, so it deserves completion.) Secondarily, wow. I did not intend for my post to be this long. And a large part of it was just my own personal ramble. I'd better post it now before I add on another paragraph.
