Wikia - creating communities
Welcome to my User page!
I have created this account as I am hoping to found a Wikia on fictional people, places and species which will treat these entities with encyclopedic realism. More information is available below:
| The Fiction Encyclopedia would serve as a Wikia exploring the immense world of fiction. However it would differ greatly from the Novelas and Literature Wikias in that it would discuss the subject-matter using an in-universe perspective. The Fiction Encyclopedia would also combine information and images from canonical and (if deemed appropriate) non-canonical work in order to endow each article with a sense of encyclopedic realism. The real mission of the Fiction Encyclopedia would be to create articles on fictional people, places and species but to do so in an encyclopedic way and using encyclopedic prose.
For example the land of Lilliput (as described in Johnathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels") would be described in the Fiction Encyclopedia as a country located in the South Indian Ocean, discovered in 1699 and neighbouring the country of Blefuscu. Everything, it's history, culture, even it's longitude and latitude (as provided in some maps that accompany certain editions of "Gulliver's Travels") would be described in the Lilliput article of the Fiction Encyclopedia. By using canonical and non-canonical sources information and/or images not provided in the original text could appear in the Lilliput article; for example the national flag and crest could be taken from one of the many film versions of Gulliver's Travels. The likes of Victor Frankenstein would be described as a scientist educated in the University of Ingolstadt. Ingsoc would be described as an ideology most prevalent in Europe and the America's during 1984, referred to by it's non-adherents as "Oligarchical Collectivism". |
The Fiction Encyclopedia is now available at http://fictionencyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki
