Hey people of Star Wars Fanon Wiki! Today I wanted to "address" a little "issue" of mine as of late on the wiki. So as some people may have noticed, I have not been very active at all on the wiki, and that is mostly due to my lack of interest in the wiki currently, and my demotivation to write some stories. These stories mostly apply to my short story series, Shadows of the Republic, which I initially started in April or March, I cannot remember exactly.

The main reason for this is because I write stories worthy of being novels, so it is hard for me to write a short story that can be somewhat lengthy that includes accurate details to make the story more immerging and make sense. This has especially been the case with my latest short story, which is currently far from completion, Rescue Mission, which was actually originally a crossover between myself and a friend of mine, DarthJaciuss, that we began to work on (and even had its first image made), until we ended up slowing down on it to the point that I decided, with his consent, that I should turn it into an "episode" of Shadows of the Republic. Now, after Rescue Mission, which I said to still be far from completion, there are two more short stories in the series. Mutinous and Rise of Darkness. I am surprised to see that the Rise of Darkness' deadline has not yet been reached, and will not be for another 10 days or so, so I have time to do that clearly.

However, as I wrote the beginning of this blog, I came up with an idea that could somewhat act as a solution to my problems. Instead of making individual short stories that will end up being much larger than your average short story in a five part series, I will compile those stories into one larger story called, you guessed it, Shadows of the Republic, and each of those former short stories will be split into roughly five chapters, with maybe two more chapters (a prologue and epilogue) to kind of give more detailed information as to what is happening in the galaxy, and how the certain events in Shadows of the Republic came about. What is your opinion on this idea? Also feel free to give your own ideas if you can think of any.

Now, with all of that story business out of the way, I can move on to another topic: my wiki activity. Like I said before, I have been far from active on the wiki. I have not even updated my status on my user page from "Active," which in reality does not matter as someone could just check the contributions tab to see what I have been doing, which as of late has mostly been discussing this same topic with DarthJaciuss. But what I mostly wanted to inform you is that I plan on returning to the wiki, and I am probably going to revamp most, if not "all" of my pages with a more immersive story, that I am suddenly very excited for.

Please give out any ideas for any of my pages, this could stretch as far as my main page, CC-1211, to something still somewhat major, but not as much as the other, CC-7654. I am open to any ideas, just bear in mind that some ideas may not be accepted, as I am looking more for ideas that are interesting and worthy of entering a story of a clone trooper, or a Jedi, or whatever the story is about really. To see a list of some of my characters, check out my user page and scroll down just a bit, I have a list of some characters, although not all.

I think that is going to wrap up this blog. This one is definitely my longest, but it was definitely fun righting, it, haha. Thanks for reading to this point too! Remember to give any ideas for characters and to give feedback on my Shadows of the Republic story. If you have any other ideas, not just for SotR or characters, please feel free to give them. Alright then, peace out! :)
