User blog:BioChimes/Artsy Articles

Hi everyone one.

I was thinking of making a 'how to' article labelled 'How to bring your fanon to life', which would about making interesting and 'dynamic' looking pages. I have seen some very poorly set out articles with HUGE sections of uninterrupted text and absolutely no images or colour, and honestly thought the word content may have been brilliant it lacked any and all visual interest, and was very difficult to read due to this.

My 'how to' would show the proper use of heading, images, colour and so one as well as a section on how to make interesting paragraphs. As I have said, there are some amazing writers on this wiki, but some page I have read were more of an information pamphlet than a fanon article. To make a good fanon you NEED to have both informative AND inclusive writing that makes the reader want to finish the entire page. Truly, a detailed and colourful section of one or two sentences is in my mind far better than an entire half page of dusty and bland dictation. Also, many articles on this wiki seem to only describe the military force that the article is named for, as most people forget about history, culture, first-hand descriptions, where the people come from (So often it is just a one liner - from the planet X in the Y system), and description of the actual lives of the people in the army. These soldiers in the fanon articles are not mindless drones, and have a lot to say!!!

So, I would love to write this 'how to', what does everyone think?

Oooh, my first blog post too ^_^ yayayay. AmyTheStray (talk) 23:11, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
