No.6 Wikia
By: AoYokai Date: October 23, 2014, 1:38 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[s]I'm really awful with forums (which is why I was never active
around here) and I have a feeling I'm posting this in the wrong
place or something because I have no ideas how forums work.
Also, I wasn't around as much recently, so I kinda missed the
drama. I don't know what happened so I feel pretty disoriented
and even more so now that everything is happening in this forum.
I read about something that sounded like a shared No.6 blog I
think in the 'blog of the week' thread? And on tumblr someone
said the fandom is dying? But yuneyn said I shouldn't worry?
(I'm using a network that blocks tumblr right now so I can't
answer for the next few hours). My point is I'm very confused so
what I'm about to say might be irrelevant. [/s]
So, I had some ideas for the fandom, and again this might be out
of my place to suggest these things (but you guys are nice so
I'm not too scared about it).
I tried to think of ways in which I could contribute to
advertising the fandom and I figured visual means would be the
best to grab people's attention, problem is I can't draw. At
all. That made me think about an idea I had long ago about
opening a 'text messages from No.6' sort of blog. I gave up on
the idea because as you figured or already know, I have zero
confidence and thought that the fandom will reject this sort of
shallow, ooc jokes. (I don't think ooc joke are bad, I'm just
saying this fandom gives me the feeling that they'll be
rejected) I'm still not sure about creating such blog, but if
you guys think it's a good idea, maybe I'll do it. I might need
some help running it, though.
My second idea has nothing to do with advertising the fandom,
but I still think it's important. The No.6 wikia. Do any of you
know what's up with that? Because it seems pretty dead, and only
about the anime. I don't know if there's anyone around to tell
us we can't take over it, but anyway I like the idea of starting
fresh the best. I think that having an organized wikia about the
manga, novel, and anime would be really great for the fandom.
That's going to be a huge project, and it's going to require
lots of work. I'd be happy to lead it, unless some one else
really wants to have this project for themselves or think I
can't do it or something. To be honest I don't know much about
building a wikia, but I can learn. Also, I'm not a native
English speaker so I might not be as good at writing these
things.
I'm gonna need help. Lots of it. That is, if you guys think it's
a good idea to do this in first place.

Hi :) First of all: I have to agree with Yuneyn. You shouldn't
really worry about missing all the drama in the fandom.
Basically, it ended with Elanra and Thesexymaid leaving and I
think your dash or their blogs will probably tell you the rest
of the story ^^"
Uhm ... About your first blog idea ... Didn't quite grasp it,
really xD Could you elaborate a bit? Like, what kind of post
would it make?
But I totally agree with the Wikia for No.6. It's horrible,
really xD And yeah, it'd be a whole lot of work. You read right
about the shared blog and I'd say the forum community here is
probably busy enough with planning and working out the
introduction of it and dealing with organizing it but I'm sure
once everything calmed down, it would be a good idea to create a
new Wikia from the scratch. It would be wonderful to have one
for the novels, manga and anime. And this way, maybe more people
would find the manga and the novels on their own and get
involved into the fandom for a bit longer ^^
Though I don't know anything about creating Wikias too ...
[s]And don't worry - I have faith in you![/s]

Hi Aoyokai :3
Thanks your joining and sharing your ideas. They are always
appreciated.
Well, first about what happened on Tumblr: To cut a long story
short... there was an immense misunderstanding. We thought it
was an "Old vs. new fandom ranting" post, something like: "Back
then was everything better, all good people are gone." It made a
lot of people sad. They felt bad because they thought they
aren't good enough, just like Yuneyn and me. That's why we tried
to clarify the issue, but it failed. Even though we apologized
and clarified everything again they left, saying it was the
final straw. That's it. We just disagreed. But of course we
never wanted to insult someone.
You don't need to worry, the fandom isn't dying. There are still
people left. It's not the biggest fandom, but we'll try our best
to grow together. And we would be glad when you want to help us.
At the moment we start to build a shared blog. It's a pure No. 6
blog. We want to post fanarts (with permission of course),
source art there, reblog No. 6 fanarts, fanfictions etc... And
we want to invite people to come here to work together...
We plan on a monthly casual No. 6 day (the 6th of every month,
but without special topics, just a day dedicated to No. 6), some
special events 2-3 time each year, like Shion's Birthday, Holy
Day (Christmas) and so one... and also a "Fanworks of the month"
rubric, where people can send us suggestions and then we'll post
our recommendations at the end of each month.
If you want to help us and join our shared blog, just let me
know and I'll send you an invitation. ^^
Your ideas sound nice. Could you give us an example? I don't
really know what you mean with "'text messages from No.6'"... :3
The other idea sounds like a mammut project. But when you want
to do it... feel free to use this forum to plan on it and to
find people who can help you. (I would help you, too, but I'm
not sure if I can do that much... since I'll draw No. 6 art for
my own blog and also take care of our shared blog... the monthly
suggestions...so I'm not sure yet if I'll have that much time.
But when you do this... maybe there's a possibility to connect
it to our shared blog... so when you write entries about the
novels and so one, that we also post it there, to fill the blog
with interesting, No. 6 related posts. I also don't know
anything about wikis... ^^° So I guess I won't be a big help.
Btw... Most of us aren't native speakers, so don't worry about
it. ^^

That's too bad :( It's probably for the best I wasn't aware of
it until it was over though... I would get really panicked.
I really like this fandom, I hope more people would join... and
I'd be happy to do what I can in the blog, although I don't
think that would be much...
Well I see these 'text messages' in about every fandom, and for
a while I saw it in the No.6 fandom too, but they all left.
These are just short, silly, conversations between characters
that are shown in iphone text messages format. That makes no
sense with the No.6 storyline because people from the West Block
obviously wouldn't have iphones, but these conversations are
already pretty ooc so it doesn't matter. Example for a text post
I saw when I just joined the fandom (that blog is dead now):
dead Safu sending Nezumi messages that she'll haunt him if he
won't go back to Shion that moment.
These posts aren't smart or deep, but I think the fandom needs a
little pointless humor. In general I think this fandom is not
very friendly to fans who only like No.6 because they watched
the anime for the shounen-ai of it. Yes I know not everyone
consider No.6 as a shounen-ai, but this fandom can be really
scary for people that like No.6 in a more... flat(?) way. A
'lighter' approach can be good for this fandom.
Well at least no one wants to kick me off this project because
they know wikia better than me ^^" In that case I will just try
to work on that on my free time for now. Until I come up with a
plan for this wikia thing, I'll just stay as active as possible
in other things. Maybe when I finish planning this I could ask
for help on the shared blog? It looks like a good place to find
people that can help.

Hello Aoyokai! Great to see you around~
I had prepared a reply but then you responded before I posted
it, haha. Anyway, to revive the text from No. 6 thing would be
pretty neat, even if it's ooc. I mean, that's kind of the point
of those texts anyway, and you're right, some lighthearted fun
is nice, especially with canon being pretty dark too. Would you
just use texts from Texts from last night, or also those text
conversations people make up themselves? Or maybe a combination
of both? That would be kinda fun.
Reviving the No. 6 wikia or starting a new one is pretty great,
really! Good information about No. 6 in one place is hard to
find and would definitely help new people to find their way
around, especially if you include more things than just the
anime. It's a big job, but it helps wikis are forever works in
progress, so there's no rush to complete it before some
deadline, and multiple people could be working on it. I know a
bit about wikis (not terribly experienced, but I set up a couple
for my own projects), dunno if I could help if you decide to go
through with it? Definitely on board, though.

Hello!!
I'm glad you came by^^ Like I told you on Tumblr, you don't need
to worry, we definitely don't want the fandom to die.. There was
a misunderstanding with Elanra and Thesexymaid... I guess you
can read posts on their blogs and our blogs to see it with your
own eyes. It shouldn't have gone this far to be honest, but
what's done is done and there's no need to dwell on it. Now, we
can only try to do something nice for everyone.
Oh and please, don't ever be afraid to share your ideas with
everyone! We're a community, and even if everyone can't always
agree on everything it's always possible to find people who
agree with you!
I think I see what you mean by the text messages... Like if the
characters were communicating via cellphones text messages,
right? I guess it could be funny, I don't have anything against
that. I mean sure, No.6 is a very dark story, but the
character's personalities leave also room for lighter, funnier
things. No.6-related things don't have to be depressing all the
time^^. So yeah, it probably could work.
The wikia project also sounds really interesting, but also very
time consuming. It would be awesome to do it though... Do we
need to build a new one, or can we start from the existing one
and build around it? I've never done something like this so I
wouldn't know. I guess it would take a lot of time, but if you
find enough motivated people, or even people who'll only write
one article, little by little there could be more interesting
content.
In any case, if you feel strongly about these projects, don't
hesitate to open a dedicated thread for any of them here. For
now there's not many people around, but we'll be advertising the
forum again starting next week, hopefully more people will join.
I'll try to help as I can, but like Ahiku said with all the
other things going on it might not be immediately.
As for the English... I'm not native either. But I guess we can
still try to correct each other before posting something
important and it should turn out ok^^

[member=21]AoYokai[/member] Yeah, it was for the best you
weren't there. ^^° It was not funny at all. Like Yuneyn said...
if you wanna know more you can read it :3 (But it's not
recommended.)
Hmm... maybe you can do this in another format, so no Iphone
texts... but maybe transfer via Nezumi's mice... and Shion and
Safu can have ID chats... ^^° I mean those ID cards are like
smartphones so it would work there...
Yeah, it doesn't have to be totally deep all the time. The story
is sad enough, and I'm a fan of funny things. XD I'd like a blog
that shares funny stuff, even if it's a bit ooc. :)
But you're right. We should also consider those who just watched
the anime and those who like it because of the shounen-ai
elements. I'm tired of too much drama and depressive stuff and
No. 6 also has funny aspects (you could also post funny quotes
there... like nose biting... or the goat thing XD) To make it
extra special
Yeah, just post it here when you've finished your planning. And
hopefully we're more people then... ^^

Ahiku (no idea how to mention people oops) That would be
awesome, but I think that sticking with iPhone messages would be
more doable... It's also the common way of doing it so I'm
afraid that if it won't be presented that way it might not get
as much attention. I really like the idea though, so maybe some
of them will be in Nezumi's mice format? Like the important, not
that ooc ones. I have a feeling that sending a mouse to No.6 and
back is pretty dangerous for the stupid type of messages this
blog will have... (nose biting is the best)
btw, where exactly is the whole shared blog thing discussed?
listenforthelove (still don't know how to mention people) I'm
sorry, I didn't get the question about the texts OTL I'd be
super happy to have help with the wikia project though! (I feel
stupid saying that because I need help with that project, not
just happy to have some...)
Thanks for the support everyone :D I'll do my best.

[member=21]AoYokai[/member] You can add an @in front of the
nickname and the person should get an e-mail sayin that someone
mentioned their nickname in the forum. :3
You can find the shared art blog post here, but it's pretty
long:
HTML http://no6.createaforum.com/conference-room/unsourced-art/msg508/#new
The blog is here:
HTML http://restructuralcommittee.tumblr.com/
If you want to help sourcing or reblogging art (or even
reposting art with permission) then I'll send you an invitation
:3 Just tell me if you wanna be a part of our blog.
Ah, ok... I don't know that much about those text blogs. ^^ Just
do it the way you want to do it, it's your blog after all.
(Yeah, and I think there are other funny scenes in there. XD)

@Aoyokai Ah, now I know what you mean :) Yeah, I kinda like
those texts and it really sounds like a good idea. I also always
had the feeling that the fandom really liked those kind of posts
so it should be fine. And as listenforthelove already said: It's
meant to be OOC xD
I think it would be a good idea to ask for help via the shared
blog once it might be established ^^ And I would offer myself
for writing articles or something like that. But don't expect
too much - I haven't done anything like that in my whole life xD
[hr]
@Ahiku Thanks to you I just imagined that those robotic mice of
Nezumi could overhear the talks and messages of those ID Card
and even use the frequences to answer to an ID Card ... That
would be kinda creepy but maybe something that would work out?
Dunno, I just had to laugh now xD
Okay, this is gonna be a bit off-topic but about that anime and
shônen-ai thing ... I just always have a need to tell people
that only watched the anime about the manga and the novels.
Because most of them are in the fandom making posts about how
they wished that NezuShi was canon and I'm sitting there,
squealing and wanting to tell them that it is, in fact, canon in
the novels (and the manga ...). So, I'm done with off-topic.
That had to be said and I don't even know why ...
