User talk:Screenhog at Rocketsnail
Hi, Screenhog at Rocketsnail!
Welcome to the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki! We hope you can make continuing contributions of articles and/or discussion and other improvements.
If you are new to wikis in general, be sure to visit the "Community portal" for an outline of some of the main parts of the site and a link to pages that tell you how to edit.
Many useful tools and fun pages can be seen to the left, under the logo. Named the Sidebar, clicking on a blue link will take you to the page of choice.
Do keep an eye on the "recent changes" page, where all edits and their authors (both anonymous and signed-in) are listed. Bookmark it, maybe. (And help delete spam and vandalism - unpleasant but a fact of life.)
Discussion of any aspect of the site, and inquiries, can be made at Talk:Main_Page or on the "discussion" page associated with each article. It helps if you sign and date your contributions there, so that readers know "who to talk to" and whether your message is probably still of current interest. If you write on a user's "talk" page, that user will get an alerting message on next visit.
Remember to sign every discussion or talk page with four tildes (~~~~).
Feel free to fill out your user page so we can learn more about you.
As a Fanon Wiki, we encourage creative writing. To see what great pages are like, see the High(on the toolbar to the left) and Ultra Quality articles, for example the articles United States of Antarctica, Club Penguin Island, and Dorkugal.
We also have laws. Please read the Policy and OOC for more.
- There are certain groups of users who handle this wiki. They are our administrators. Respect them, not just some of them.
Please read the new user guide to help you guide your way throughout the wiki.
We highly encourage you collaborate with other users, as collaborations built this wiki up.
Please remember that, unlike Wikipedia, the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki is censored.
We encourage your edits!
Thanks! And, once again, welcome to the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki!

What to See[edit]
Well, it is hard to say what the best articles are because we have so many. However, we do have the Featured Article Of The Month that we vote for. This is a list of noteworthy articles that we have chosen as a community. If you want to see our longest articles, Go Here.
If you want to comprehend this wiki a bit better, you might want to see the Antarctica page to see what countries are out there to see.
As for the music, I was thinking that it could be a general "Theme Song" for the Fanon, but I realize that it is too broad of a topic. I might decide to just pick a character for a theme song instead. Depending on the Character type will affect the genre of music that it will be. For Instance, if I chose my Character User, Swiss Ninja Hochstadt, I would choose some sort of cheerful Military propaganda music because he is a power hungry Emperor with Dictatorial qualities. Or I could choose Clovis, Swiss Ninja's brother, and his would be a light hearted Secret Agent theme since he's an EPF Agent and Jester.

Anthem, perhaps?[edit]
Upon further searching, I started to understand the world that the Fanon exists in. At first, I assumed it was all on Club Penguin – I hadn't realized that you'd taken up all of Antarctica with Club Penguin as just a major city in it. That's a pretty cool way to explore your own universes. I noticed the United States of Antarctica page, and that it had no anthem. That might be a natural musical choice.

Ah, yeah, good idea! It would be a good tribute to User:Explorer, who was one of our original and extremely dedicated editors back in the day. I think we should do that. Since you're a registered user, you can upload the song in perhaps an .ogg file (I was told that mp3's dont work) at the "Upload File" link located near the botttom of the Wiki Sidebar under the "Toolbox" tab. At the Upload File link, you'll be able to upload images and specific music file types (It shows what files are permitted here). Try and see if you can upload an existing song you have on your computer and see if that works.

P.S. : How long does it typically take you to compose, perform, and record music? I'm just curious.
The length of time it takes to create a song really depends on the length of the song and the complexity of it. A piano-only song is much quicker to make than a fully orchestral piece.
The really difficult thing about making an anthem, now that I think about it, is that an anthem would usually have singing in it. That may be an issue. Still, an instrumental-only anthem may be possible.
I do have access to the .ogg format, although I've never had to export audio that way before. It shouldn't be a problem, though.
(Just so you know, I have no clue when I'll actually get around to doing this.)

Ok then. You can get around to it when you want to; we're in no rush. :) I think we would prefer having a regular instrumental anthem.
As for the wiki itself, I should also point out that we do contain canonical articles like Sensei and Club Penguin Island, but we typically add some twist to it. For instance, we say that Club Penguin also has Industrial and Business Servers instead of just the regular servers. As for Sensei, we invented a little history about him by giving him the name Toshi Kojima, though he became known as Sensei when he started teaching. He is also the 77th Sensei to reign on the Island.
The Fanon also contains many parodies, as you may have noticed.
Please feel free to explore the wiki more, and you are even welcome to edit and/or upload images if you want since you're a registered user here.
If you have any questions please let me know.
