After reading a lot of this forum mostly from the shadows I have come to the conclusion that this is by far the best fanbase I have ever seen and I have seen quite a few. Specifically talking about the fanfic, speculation, OC, OW, and shipping parts of the wiki, there seems to be an atmosphere of assuming good faith.

On every level it appears that the communities goal is to help each other and, at times, tell the cold, hard truth. When the newbies come with their mary sue's or their unnecessarily dark characters commenters approach the author with the intent to modify the creator's perspective in contrast to berating them.

It seems that everywhere else in the world it is critics who have never written a story or hammered out a character that tell the rest of us what to think. But on this wiki its different. Writers are critiqued by other writers who have experience dealing with these issues.

I usually am not the one to write love letters to inanimate objects like websites or to even acknowledge when somebody has done something right but this is an exception. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

I just pray that trolls don't terrorize the forums and chat as soon as I post this.
