User blog:Brandon Rhea/What would you like to see on Star Wars Fanon?

Happy New Year everyone! With every new year comes new opportunities, goals, and wishes for everyone. Star Wars Fanon is no exception to that.

Each year, our wiki has continued to grow, mature, and thrive, and now that we've passed our 5 year anniversary this past August, 2011 can be even greater. Just think of the next 5 years, especially when some of the cynics used to say that Star Wars Fanon was dying&mdash;and that was 2 years ago!

So, where are we right now? We've recently reached a milestone of 27,000 articles, and we're still one of the largest wikis on Wikia. Google Analytics has us at 114,662 page views (18,241 unique views). The average time a person spends on a page is 1 minute and 7 seconds. As the largest Star Wars fan fiction wiki, one of the largest Star Wars fan fiction sites, and the largest fan fiction wiki on Wikia in general, Star Wars Fanon has the potential to do so much more!

That's where the community comes in. It's up to the community and all the authors within it to help Star Wars Fanon continue to grow and thrive. With that said, what do you think we're doing well? What can we improve upon that we're not doing as well with?

From a more technical standpoint, what would you like to see on Star Wars Fanon that we don't currently have? Is there anything that you think we could be doing here, like community features and programs and what not, that we're not?

What about features that you wish Wikia would add to the wiki (we're not talking skin here) that are oriented towards fan fiction wikis rather than just regular encyclopedias? We're encyclopedic but we're still geared towards fan fiction.

What you're interested in doesn't even have to be realistic or feasible. It can be your wildest dreams for Star Wars Fanon. Whatever you can imagine, take a shot at suggesting it.

Looking forward to your thoughts! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 19:59, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
