User blog:Vivaporius/One Year Later: The Xai'athi

I get the feeling I should have done this like a week earlier, but whatever.

Well, after a full year of progress, setbacks, flame wars, and near-misses, the Xai'athi have survived a full 365 days in the 40k setting, since their inception on Febuary 1 of last year. Over that year of work, the Xai'athi have been considered an original idea, a curse, and even the bane to all canon in the setting. Its been the pride of my work, and the center of my focus as I contribute to the site. I'm pleased with the headway I've been able to make, as well as the help I've received from the other authors here.

However, after multiple canon issues, personal look throughs, and threats from some users to see to it that the Xai'athi are removed from the sight, I've decided to look to the wiki's community for some insight into the thoughts, views, and general feeling of the Xai'athi. I seek your honest opinion on them, and the fluff built up around them, as well as any addition info you may have about your personal view of them. This would basically boil down to one of three things. Either they remain in their current state. The second being I bring back some of the old work on them. And the final being I remove them all together.

To be honest, I've found myself losing interest in contributing here. Some of my ideas just didn't fit the feeling of 40k, and I've found myself becoming rather ashamed of both the Xai'athi and the trouble I've caused over the time I've been here. My other work is less than fleshed out, with a few exceptions, and I find myself alienating the people trying to help me with my articles. Thus in addition to seeing what you think of the Xai'athi, I'd also like to know what you think of my work as a whole.
