Hello Marvel Fanon,

Uncanny X-Factor here. I'm going to be rolling out a new possible ongoing series known as the Fireside Chats. If you're familiar with this name, it's because FDR made the concept popular through his radio addresses to the nation. This made him a popular president in his time because it gave him the warm image of a man in an armchair by a blazing fire. It made him one of us. But where the radio addresses were one-way monologues, I intend to give this the possibility of dialogue if the community so chooses. Admins are, after all, users too.

This is the primary subject I find myself addressing today. You may have noticed that the other admins have been much less active. I have attempted to reach out to both of them. Bridgette is suffering from a severe case of writer's block and is considering his place here. He is, for the time being, inactive. Cartoon44, while still active online, hasn't made more than 1 edit in the last year and a half. For a user that's alright, and I know that college is tricky, but the fact remains that can't stand for an admin. As such, Cartoon will no longer be a part of the administrative team, and his replacement will be ElectricMayhemm. Wish him a hearty welcome, everyone! Depending on the outcome of Bridgette's period of self-reflection, his role as administrator may be updated as well.

I also want to mention the Triad project. While there seemed to be a decent amount of community approval and willingness to participate, I only ever got one message from one user with articles of his own to be deleted. This is, needless to say, not what I had in mind. While I am formally discontinuing the community aspect of the project, informally it will continue to exist (that is to say, users will still be allowed to make suggestions for articles potentially requiring modification or deletion).

We are also still in the midst of the website scan, and I currently find myself revisiting articles E-H, due to having not been picky enough the first time around. Fear not, though, we are keeping Fanon content at the standard it deserves.

I can't think of anything missing, except to wish everyone a happy early Valentine's Day, and I hope that you have a special someone to spend it with. Oh, yeah, and Stan Lee is innocent.

Until the next time, true believers,

~Uncanny X-Factor
