		Went through the "Wanted Pages" list and cleared out most (not quite all) of the links-to-nowhere that have been sitting there for years, or were added by people who haven't posted here for over six months. This took a few days. (Plenty of accumulated cruft...) 
In one case, I did this by  creating a stub page. If people want to create pages for the other links-to-nowhere, you can put the links back easily enough...

		Added some short-short descriptions to the Faction Guide and Companies in Fenspace pages. 
All the companies now have short blurbs. These  factions do  not have capsule writeups: - Spacefleet
 
 
- Heinlein Society
 
 
- two-thirds of the Non-Governmental Organizations
 
 
 
If somebody else gets to these before I do, you'll have my gratitude.

		I've just stubbed a page that's been on the "Wanted Pages" list for years. 
http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Type-7_shuttle
One might note that the ship's writeup is conspicuous by its absence. Somebody who actually cares about the FenTrekkies, please write something for this blank space.

And I just got the Dandelions.
 
One more task completed. Maybe I might have some time to write some fiction instead of filling in holes in the background data... maybe.

		Posted  A story. Editing encouraged, especially to some of the tags on communications. It's been modified slightly from the original all through.... for one thing the Griffon is now more of a longtail 962 than a Countach.
 
Which means it's a Griffon  In name Only - but that just means Mackie used the name as something of a joke.

		Expanded and organized the Help page. Also trimmed a few entries off the Timeline and edited a few more to make them more general and/or noteworthy.

The Commander of the Sailor Armed Militia now has  a character page (sort-of) and an image.

		Just goofing around in Daz Studio...  Babylon .5 and  18610 Arthurdent now have images.
 
Two down,  327 to go... If your characters don't have images or descriptions yet, they may end up looking like  this guy if I get too tired of waiting for somebody else to do some of this work.
 
EDIT: Or maybe I'll just use  this image

If you think its okay, I will ask the author about if we can put the picture on the wiki.

(Yes, I know who that somebody is. Who else is doing artwork for anything other than his own characters nowadays?)

		.... I hate to say it, but I can't really do 'Art'... I tried and the results were hilaribad. 
 
The Image of Jet is really just a cut-and-paste from the B-Club specials of all the various Knight Sabers.  (Sylia/Priss' body, Priss' Face, Linna eyes, Nene Hair, IIRC.). The only real original drawing is the Destiny Nova and Mel's patch where the original version was pencil+paper+GIMP.  Everything else is just modified from something else.

		Anybody with a home computer can be a 3-D artist, since both Blender and Daz Studio are available for free and there's plenty of free content for each of them out there. Much like your cut-and-paste, the art-form is a digital collage at the level I'm using it. 
 
The trick is being a decent 3-D artist... but I can pass along tips that were passed to me, and I can wait a year or two for the help.  Just don't tell your girlfriend "Someday I'll be a 3-D artist," or she may dump you...
