I must be mad...

Never mind the fact I can't keep the existing EAFOAB episode summary spreadsheet up to date, I've had another crazy idea.

Convert it all to wiki format.

Since several people here are familiar with wikis (not just Wikipedia but also the Whateley Academy Wiki, the Comics Retcon Wiki, and/or another one related to a BCTS universe which will be revealed later this month), my reasoning goes that by presenting the episode summaries and character lists as a wiki, the content will be more accessible for people to edit - not to mention easier to add links between the character lists and episode summaries. It's also, of course, easily expansible, so should anyone feel the need to add more detailed information on characters / events / places, they can.

So far, I've converted the intro, all the character lists, and the first 499 summaries. I've also created a template for episodes 1500-1599 (i.e. the current hundred). The dates in that are just autofill so many are probably wrong (not to mention entries for episodes that haven't been written / published yet!)

Feel free to go and have a look, tidy up what's there (if necessary), add new stuff, or just add a note to my user page to let me know what you think, and/or any suggestions.

If you haven't collapsed from boredom yet, I've given it the highly imaginative name of The Daily Dormouse Wiki.

Is it bad form to agree with a crazy person?

Dear Ben,

I must concur, you have gone round the bend, gone completely daft. Haven't you got enough things to keep you occupied?

Thanks for being such a work-a-holic.

with love,

Hope

P.S. Oh, Happy New Year to you as well.

with love,

Hope

Distractions...

I have a habit of having an ADOS attitude towards computers / websites. I currently have three partially written stories in limbo: the conclusion of Rena's story arc (Comics Retcon / AquaGirl), an original (fairy tale mashup with a TG twist) and one I haven't looked at for about 18 months (Petra 2 - which I intend to continue eventually!). Not to mention I currently have 31 browser tabs open across 7 groups, of which 16 across 3 groups are TopShelf stories I'm planning to read at some point in time. Oh, and the mysterious other wiki I'm curating for a universe I have no intentions of writing in...

I am totally overwhelmed. I still don't understand how the ramblings of a demented Welshwoman acquire this sort of devotion from fans. Having said that, I read about ten of the early episodes and coud have sat there all night reading them - and I wrote them, admittedly, a few hundred years ago.

Thank you, Ben,I don't know what else to say. So will we get a mention in the Wikipedia one day for being the most rambling, tortuous and endless story on the planet?

Ask P.S...

I think he was thinking of doing something Wikipedia-related with it. I'm sure it's worthy of a few entries on TV Tropes by now (Loads and Loads of Characters certainly fits for starters - hence why there's an ever-expanding number of character pages!), but I'll leave that for someone else to do...
