User talk:Sabaceanbabe

Welcome to Battlestar Wiki!

Welcome to the Wiki, Sabaceanbabe. Tell us about yourself on your user page. We have a template that lets you put some information about yourself in a nice-looking box.

Battlestar Wiki is an encyclopedia on officially-licensed stories, aired episodes, and other products of the Battlestar universes. Make sure that your contributions fit Battlestar Wiki's purpose, avoiding what we aren't.

Our editing standards and conventions policies may differ from other wikis, especially in verb tense and voice, capitalization and the like. Please read this policy. We have an editing tutorial and wiki markup codes to help you.

Our policies on original research differ from places such as Wikipedia. We allow some research based on aired episode content, but don't allow speculation that isn't supported from episode events. Battlestar Wiki does not allow fan fiction articles.

Battlestar Wiki's many projects help improve our content. Are you an Original Series fan? Help out in the Original Series Article Project. Non-English versions of Battlestar Wiki also need contributors, and helpers for our podcast transcriptions are also welcome. New projects should be brought to our Think Tank, where we hash out large-scale ideas before implementing them.

Any questions about an article can be entered on the article's talk page. General questions about the wiki can be brought to the Quorum or the administrators' noticeboard. To sign your posts on any talk page, just enter four tildes (~~~~)!

We look forward to your contributions to the community! --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 14:37, 22 March 2006 (CST)

I welcome you, Sabaceanbabe, to our Source of all BSG information. Long have you served with distinction on the messageboards. It is good to see you again. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 20:04, 22 March 2006 (CST)

Fanfic Article?

Welcome to the wiki! I immediately associated your name with fanfic, having (I believe) seen you post such work to the skiffy board. We have little to no fanfic info here on the wiki. While directly hosting fanfic would likely be incompatible with the wiki's mission (in terms of the encylopedic part, as well as the fact that postings here should be under the Creative Commons license), what could be useful is an article with links to fanfic. A categorized list of fanfic links seems to be something that people occasionally request on the boards, and the wiki format would be conducive to people keeping such a list current. It could also maybe have brief summaries/reviews if that would be useful. Just a brainstorm. If you're interested in such an undertaking, but need assistance, just drop me a note on my user page. I'm sure any other admin (or the Vigilant One) would be glad to help. --Steelviper 11:46, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I *think* I may have this thing figured out.

Thank you for the kind welcome. Yes, I do have kind of a thing for fanfic.  ;) If this reply to your message works, I'll wander over to your user page and see if I can manage to post a substantive reply there, in regard to a fanfic article. Sabaceanbabe 15:47, 6 April 2006 (CDT)SabaceanBabe

I replied over there, and went ahead and created Fan fiction in case you wanted to start on it. --Steelviper 16:19, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Odd...I thought I was the Dark One. Regardless. SabaceanBabe, we don't add fanfic stuff, yeah, but do you have a website where you have it printed up? Because we do have "fan community links" on the front page (currently titled "fan stuff"), and I think we do post links to fansites and stuff (we just don't archive it). But the more links to stuff the better. We're trying to be the central node of all internet BSG information. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 15:08, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Hi, Mero! You don't mind if I call you Mero, do you? I do have several sites where I archive my fanfic and where those interested in such a thing can find the works of myself and others. If you'd like, I can see if I can figure out how to post those links to the appropriate article... Sabaceanbabe 15:50, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Yay! Well get a list up and we'll tinker around with it. I guess I prefer "Merv" as that's how they shortened it in the movie. --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 17:12, 6 April 2006 (CDT)

Where can I read your fanfic? --FrankieG 23:00, 8 July 2006 (CDT)

I just put up a link on my user page, but here it is, just for you: Sabaceanbabe's fanfic --Sabaceanbabe

OMG. Leah Cairns worked your fanfic into her backstory. I'm adding some notes on this; would you like to touch them up? --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 10:30, 30 June 2006 (CDT)

Would you like me to set up your user page with an character box? --The Merovingian ^{(C - E)} 23:02, 8 July 2006 (CDT)
