User blog:Master Ceadeus 27/News and Updates - E3 Edition!

Hello, hunters! Today is a special day: it's the first official day of E3 2014! In honor of this breathtaking day, I would like to present our own electronic entertainment news, about not only this wiki in itself but about a few individual fanfictions and things to come!

First off, allow me to say thank you to all the users here who have continued to write for any amount of time. Your contributions mean the world to me and this Wiki as a whole, and I can't tell you guys how thankful I am that you all show so much respect to your own and other's works. Everyone here, in my opinion, has, so far, tried to improve to the best of their abilities, so I thank you.

Second, rule changes. Some of you may have noticed the various blogs made about rule changes and such, but just to catch up: categorization is now enforced, we're cracking down on low-quality or short pages, and a proper level of understanding is now expected. That's all for Rules.

So, let's get to Fan fiction and wiki news! Hurrah!

June 2014

 * We would like to begin revamping emoticons for Chat soon. This will be a slight change only, and won't affect users who don't chat.

July 2014

 * By this month, I would like to set up a "Suggested Reading" category. Inside this will be three subcategories: Long, Short, Moderate and Serial, representing the lengths of the fanfictions in the category. Only the best Fanfictions will be added to this, and it is intended to introduce users to our best stuff in order to inspire and immerse them in our goal of providing great fanfictions to everyone.

August 2014

 * By August 2014, I would like to revisit the current administration. As you may know, we have several inactive admins and several semi-active, and I'd like to do some reorganizing, if the community likes this idea. If not, we'll keep our current admins; note, however, that even if you guys do want this idea, we're not going to fully delete them from adminship--they'll, at most, be replaced for short times or demoted/promoted per their qualifications and the current wiki status.

December 2014

 * Though this is a hit-and-miss goal, if I have a job by this time, I would like to rent a server and buy an address for a Monster Hunter Fanon website! It will have ads (though a small amount of them), but this is only to pay for the server rental and website domain. It will most likely run off of MediaWiki, which is what Wikia and Wikipedia both run off of, and the best will have normal .html pages.

February 2015

 * By this date, Setheo and I would like there to be 140 Monster Creations, and a lot more users! Both of these will help us increase our popularity and thus get more authors, which will in turn improve the quality of content here.

=Authors, Fan Fictions, and Creations, Oh My!=

In this section, authors (including myself) will be presenting their own plans--for their own works, and the wiki as a whole. If you are an author on this wiki, you can write a short paragraph in the comments detailing your plans and I'll paste it in your own section!

How To Train Your Dragon/Monster Hunter Crossover
This is a relatively new and very creative project still in development by Cottonmouth255. He has yet to do Terrible Terror, Razorback Boar, Hobblegrunt, Hideous Zippleback, Gronckle, Bullrougher, Skrill, Night Fury, Thunderdrum, and Blundertail. More information may be provided by the author.

?
Gojira will release information on his works as he sees fit.

The Art of the Hunt
This is a fanfiction series authored by me. It is about a group of young hunters developing their career and avenging the dead, by killing a giant elder dragon. My current plans for it this year include a season finale of Season Four by December, and a new main antagonist will be featured in each season.

The Ancient Strife
During the First Season break, I intend to revive this fanfic with a few more paragraphs, at least. I will attempt to use these few paragraphs to get to Fyrul's house, and then the group will set off towards the Leamen Arie.

Overall Plans Quote
"What I'd like to do is begin with total wikia revamps--finishing old, stale projects, beginning new ones, and hopefully employing some new designs and techniques to acquire more users. As far as my fanfictions go, I intend on finishing The Ancient Strife part I by the summer of next year, though this is extremely uncertain as The Ancient Strife is an already old fanfiction. The Art of the Hunt has attracted quite a few readers, and though it is a serial (and thus overall less popular), I'd still like to get pretty far on it pretty soon. I don't have any news on the Moga Knight Memoirs revisited or Monster Hunter 2020, though I hope to change that soon."
