Forum:New project

"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of Star Wars stupidy."

- The Star Wars Fanon Wiki motto, quite possibly stolen from some hobo

It's no secret that we love to make fun of SWFanon. Hell, we practically make a living out of it. Well, that is if we made a living out of what we do at all. Still, even though we deride, mock and scorn the Fanon Wiki on a daily basis, I feel we could be doing so much more with it.

That leads us to my new proposal: a new project, much like De-Lucasification. This, appropriately titled "De-Baccusification", would have a goal of expanding and creating SWFanon-related articles on the Darth. We already have several of such articles, but as I said, I feel we could be doing so much more with this. I feel that if this project were to get past the proposal mode, our first goal would be to parody as many of the Fanon FA's as possible, then moving on to GA's and finally random articles.

Now, technically speaking, there's no problems with this. However, as a courtesy to the original authors and their work, I feel it would be appropriate to leave the authors a notice, requesting that we parody their articles. We've failed to do this in the past, and certainly asking first can't really hurt us.

Finally, I feel that this project may also bring in new users, as well. After seeing our spoofs, the original authors may feel the need to contribute themselves and we could potentially gain quite a few new users. I figured I'd create this forum to see how others felt about the idea before I went ahead and actually created the project. After all, I really wouldn't enjoy being the sole contributor to my own project. &mdash;  supergeeky1   \ m  /  (  1-800-Burl-Ives  ) 02:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
