| At the risk of sounding stupid, if the CKWiki is already up and running, could someone please provide a link? |

| Its just a bunch of independent project for the moment. I hope new projects will begin to appear now. And that we can connect them all (though, for that, we will have to create the guidelines for the candlekanon first). |
Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world... |

I didn't realize people were already contributing.
I guess my first 'piece' will be the maps, and something explaining the changes (although it will have to be pretty vague, if folks are going to be tackling every area independently). |

I would not say people are already contributing. We are just organizing our stuff in our individual namespace areas so that it can be ready to be shared with the entire community once it is time. |

Yes - Nothing has been finalized or accepted as of yet. Everything on there is, at best, an organized draft of things we as individuals already know we would like to propose. No matter how elaborate it may seem, it's all an author draft that has not yet been accepted. They are our personal way of organizing, particularly larger scale projects from the looks of it, so the community to vote on at a later date. And if one person is writing about something in their own username space, that in no way means no one else can touch it or make a proposal about it. So something like the Eclipsed Empire project, which very heavily focuses on Cormanthor, does not mean I have some how claimed all Cormanthorian lore; that is not the case. Its me organizing what I wanted to propose because I have a great deal of information to put forward to the community one day and because of it's all heavily interconnected due to the narrative format it was created for. In no way are any of those pages a claim on the land and lore, nor is it in any way set in stone; It is at best notes the community can read if they happen to feel like it or it comes up for vote.
Even after articles get accepted, these user pages are exceptionally useful as a way of sharing behind the scenes information, especially in terms of where we were going with the ideas. In my example, there is plenty of information for 1550s Cormanthyr because that's when BALLAD OF THE DAWN took place - well after any present time we'll likely pick for the fanon. For articles that would touch on that post-present time frame, I can simply link at the bottom to the Username/ articles I'm creating now if people are interested. If they're not interested, they won't see that information on any page that got accepted and it never bothers them. As we move forward, people can who build on those articles can build towards, or away from, what ideas I had depending on how the community votes. Again, not set in stone, but accessible to the community. There could be multiple such pages for any article that people could draw on. Not all of them dealing with things like the future, some of them could simply be alternative ideas. In my case, concept art that didn't get selected.
They're not claims to areas or lore, they're not final, they're simply notes and unbound ideas. Don't let the fact there are already notes up on the wiki stymie the making of more notes! |
