The Past
Hi again! Welcome back to the Dream Logos Wiki Forums. This is the monthly update of March 2020. Ever since the previous post, not much has changed.
The new rules have yet to be worked on.
Reminder that we have also unveiled the new Unban system! (https://forms.gle/wkXNj28QyRtHLYNg7)
If I'm honest, I forgot to do this yesterday.
The Present
I'm currently at my most... depressed. I haven't done much for the wikis, I haven't paid attention to anything much. I was going to go on a trip to Verona with the boys, but the Coronavirus reigns supreme in the Veneto region, where the city resides.
I have also become more focused on the much larger Ideas Wiki ever since I became its Organization and Design Advisor. And also, there's been zero communication between me and other bureaucrats, so that means I may end up being the sole leader for this. So for now, the fate of Dream Fiction Wiki is on the line, if I'm honest.
If Dream Fiction Wiki becomes as active as Ideas Wiki, I can keep it running.
I have a lot planned right now, for myself. I'm planning my own fashion line, with the most promising part of it being women's pants with 14 inch deep pockets and men's pants under 24 inches in width (according to a lot of my trans friends specifically). I'm also working on a video, which at the same time, is my media production homework, analyzing the greatest scene in television history.
But enough about me.
Does anyone remember Dream Incubator Wiki? Yeah, not a lot people do. The deal with this is that you can work on your wiki here, and when it becomes big enough and if it meets the quality standards, it will be spun off as the new member of the DLFW family! Check it out down below:
As you could recall in the last update, we're officially affiliated with Ideas Wiki. I do recommend you to check out wikis that are part of our affiliation program:
https://dreamfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Fiction_Wiki:Affiliates
https://dreamlogos.fandom.com/wiki/Dream_Logos_Wiki:Affiliates
The affiliation program? The purpose of the affiliate program is to share our resources with the other wikis, like shared ownership over our Discord server and our guidelines like rules and requirements for certain roles, in exchange of active communication between us and the wikiβs admin team and co-operation in certain events, yet to be revealed.
Not much has happened in the Discord server either.
The Montages thing hasn't been worked on for months. The International Contributor Program is, however, being worked on quietly.
That Sonic film was great, huh?
The Future
Honestly? I don't know what the future holds. Not enough people are signed up for any of the jobs we offer here at Dream Logos and Fiction Wiki.
Pop Culture
Get ready for a whole lot of excitement, because we finally have something to talk about:
Hey, two Disney properties coming out this month! Onward comes out on March 6th and Mulan comes out on March 27th. Not a personal fan of either for multiple reasons and also the hostility of the Chinese government.
Season 3 of Westworld premieres on March 15th on HBO.
Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake is said to drop March 13th. Let's see how that turns out.
Star Citizen hasn't been officially released yet.
Now hiring
We're still hiring, literally nobody signed up last time.
If you want to apply to these positions, please contact me on Discord (pantsmode#0666) with the title, your Fandom username and why you would make a great candidate.
AFFILIATE RELATIONS
The main mission of Affiliate Relations will be to maintain connections between other wikis and ours (for that, we may need more), to establish them, and to promote Dream Logos and Fiction Wikis in their areas in acceptable ways in hopes of attracting more contributors. Two of the main tasks include creating navigational blurbs similar to {{Dream Logos Wiki}} in Dream Fiction Wiki, and vice versa, and to offer our resources in need, like shared ownership over our Discord server and standards for rules and admin requirements.
I pretty much told you what the job requires in that description, so yeah.
PARLIAMENT
As I keep requiring members of the Discord server and the wikis to answer questions about decisions, I may have to form a parliament. This parliament will represent ALL users in the DLFWs and affiliated wikis, though the representation of affiliated wikis is entirely optional. (It is however preferable that you pass this Update along to your wikis.) From then on, all decisions affecting users will go through them. Because I know some people hate being pinged constantly.
*Job requirements* include being very active on both Discord and Fandom, willing to communicate with the contributors on their message walls and, well, being trustworthy. I don't want anyone who tries to get things to go their way, that would be betrayal and you will definitely be thrown off the group by then.
STRAW CONTRIBUTORS
There are a lot of under 13 year olds interested in contributing to the wiki legitimately, but to comply with the Wikia terms of services, we can not allow them to contribute. However, their contributions and ideas may be interesting and need to be on the wiki immediately. Which is where "straw contributors" come in (like straw purchasing, that thing where you buy something for someone who isn't eligible yet). Their ideas will be in the wiki AND we will be safe and sound.
*Job requirements* include great communication skills and patience with underaged people (you gotta work well with the kids), and understanding of what exactly they want.
SOCIAL MEDIA & PR
The main mission of Social Media & PR is to run social media profiles for the Dream Logos, Fiction and Incubator Wikis as well as their affiliated wikis. The winners for monthly Featured polls will be featured through these accounts as well, and also as filler, there will be reports from affiliated wikis. The purpose is to promote the wikis as a safe and open environment for everything fictional. For this, you have to communicate with the Affiliate Relations people as well as me.
*Job requirements* include having Facebook and/or Twitter profiles, being able to come up with what to post (please keep it appropriate) and also keeping up with everything going on in the wikis.
INTELLIGENCE
There is no easy way of saying this one, but I'll try my best anyway. It's basically a research group. We will conduct research on wikis, Discord servers, how they operate, and other things (for improvement of relations and operations, a.k.a. I wanna make us look like we care), as well as dabble into technology stuff and merchandising, as well as other expansion opportunities.
(And before you say anything, no, I can't pay any of you, because while my parents may have a great financial situation, I do not. I am pretty much forced to live like a Slav for a while, in terms of food and going places of course, so that I won't end up in debt or whatever by week 2 after payday.)

Like last time, I boosted the winner amount for Featured Article up to 5, while Featured User winners stay at 3. This is to even out in a way that we can safely move the polls back to Fandom Discussions platform by the time a Monthly Update for May 2020 comes out.
Something to think about
What's your dream job?
Here's our Discord server by the way!
(You need to pick a role from #continents before you can see the message history in the general channel. It's a long story why this was implemented.)
Until next time, may you love with ease, be happy, be free from danger, and be healthy! Ootwar out!
And if you have nothing much to say, then just give this post a kodus. I don't want the replies to be spammy.
