Anyone interested in finishing up the continuity page and/or expanding it? And by 'interested' I mean 'interested in doing it yourself.'
Normally I'd be the first person to volunteer, particularly as I'm caught up on every title, but I'm a little overrun right now with work (on and off the site).

With my writers block at least it would do good. But I also don't know characters here as well as I should.

It's not a matter of knowing characters as they traditionally are, but having read (and rereading) the in continuity titles. You'd need to take notes on them and add in the important stuff on the continuity page.

I'd asked writers to submit their own information and I'd wrangle it together, but no one has.

I can definitely do my titles if everyone else will commit to doing theirs.

Yeah. I think that will be the easiest. I plan on doing some reading this weekend, specifically so I don't have to ask as many questions about things that are established. I do want to be caught up, but I also want to have everything at my finger tips.

So, are people up for this?

I mean, I'd be willing to help in whatever way you'd like! Just tell me what you'd like me to do.

However, before I assign any jobs I'd like to hear from the others if they're willing to help. If we can at least get 4 or 5 people to work on this (right now we've got you, Star and me) then we should be able to finish it in a month, tops.

boxofspiders Out of curiosity, though, what titles have you read and/or are you reading?

I might be too busy to go through everything. I'm trying to get both Origins issues out this month (we'll see how that goes).

Not everything, just your title.

Oh. Okay. Well, I'd rather you write than worry about this.

If you still need people then I'd be willing to help once I get my first issue out. I'm up to date on every current series and I've read all of Dark City. Only problem is any other titles that might be in continuity but were dropped. Are there any?

Nope.

Btw @spiritofpengeance I'll gladly accept your help when you're ready.
I'd like to hear from everyone. I figure Dob and Adrini are busy, but even then if you guys could respond it'd make my job a lot easier.

Not that busy. Think I got past the block even. And honestly I don't have that much history to record.

So, with Adrini, Star, Box, Spirit (when he's done w his first issue), and I, we should be able to cover all the titles in a short period of time. I'm going to list what I think is the most convenient and easiest way of approaching this, but feel free to switch around titles if you'd like. Please note, we'll only be cataloguing titles that are in continuity (5 issues).
DRAKE: The Amazing Spider-Man Guardians of the Galaxy
Adrini: X-Factor
SpiritofPengeance: Astonishing X-Men Dark City
Stardrifter: The Spectacular Scarlet Spider
Boxofspiders: Agents of SHIELD Fantastic Four
The basics: 1. Business World- write down any corporations or corporate entities established in the titles. Make sure to list who is involved with them, in what capacity, and the overall basics of the organization. 2. Pop Culture- Kinda self explanatory. The Business thing but with pop culture icons, etc. 3. Military- Military organizations from any country. 4. Empires and Countries- Cosmic, Earthly, etc. This is mostly for me, but Latveria could be included as well. 5. Superheroes- Teams and the individuals. Just basic public information, not their secret IDs (in the case of Spider-Man) or anything of that ilk. 6. Supervillains- Teams and organizations. Hydra, for example. List what they do, why they do it, and their members.
Did I miss anything?

By the way, I don't think we should summarize the stories (except for maybe Dark City) to encourage new writers to read and review the titles, joining in on our activity.

It's not in continuity yet, so I'm not worrying about it. When it is, though, I'd be happy to have you handle it.
