Don’t listen to the haters I trust you more with the iron lung lore than the fandom.wiki community 100%. It’s so frustrating to be in a fandom (I’ve been in several; not just IL) where the wiki is an amalgamation of general but inaccurate assumptions and straight up headcanons. Your methodology (from what I see in your posting) is clean and archival and I would kill to see a more professional fan wiki for iron lung.
Thanks. It's very sobering to realize that not everybody is going to like me, or what I do, no matter what. I gave up pleasing everybody a long time ago and truly only write for myself. You guys are just along for the ride.
This is an opinion blog, sometimes, and I have every right to enact that. This does not mean I am on a high horse or think that I am the law. To clarify, I've repeated this numerous times in my ask responses, but I am just another fan like you. I just have ADHD and perfectionism issues.
I cannot believe I've hit a point where I even have haters. What the hell. I'm sort of stunned. This is my first "big" fandom space, admittedly, so all of this is feedback is very overwhelming at times. I came from No Man's Sky (of which I made this Korvax translator for), which is basically dead on Tumblr lately...
I am doing my damn best to live up to a high standard on my own. I'd let other people cooperate on this with me but I am concerned about vandalism to a deep degree. I may see if I can get an editing team put together before initial unveiling. I've had multiple people offer to contribute, but proofreaders are scary, because then they see all my terrible fuck ups! Haha
But they are necessary, y'know?
I am doing my absolute best to keep each page clean and organized. I can give you a sneak peek if you are worried about what the site is going to look like:
The images can be clicked on, they are captioned and have lightbox functionality.
Don't mind some of the placeholder text, missing backlinks, etc. I'm still working on it heavily. It's only been three evenings' worth of production!
I'm keeping a public and transparent change log as well, so everyone can see exactly what gets updated and when, once the site is published. You'll also get to see the entirety of my pre-production fuckery:
I don't know if a Weebly site on a free plan counts as professional, but I am doing my best to use the tools available to make it sufficient enough. I hope this doesn't look like total shit for being three days in! Oh, I've been so nervous.
EDIT: yes I just saw that spelling error. Yes I went back and fixed it. This has been an endless journey of doing that LOL
