For the query corner: We could link that to the forum Q&A, which would be the place for any user to ask any question. The questions that do seem to be the most informative we can then transfer to the query page. It's just that blog posts tend to get lost and as far as formatting .... *winces.* There are more questions too on Bleach Answers, which seems to be in even sadder shape than the canon wiki.

The Zanpakutou competition sounds great, but I'm a bit concerned about how we're supposed to flesh out actual content for these guys. is fully explained because it is the protagonist's sword and we actually saw it in use. For many of the other Zanpakutou, however, it will be difficult to dig up any actual, substantial information, so the content would dive heavily towards the fanon side. Although there are also the video games we could pull information from since the way the Zanpakutou are incarnated in-game seems a lot more, well, practical than maybe what was seen in the manga.

As for the light novel summaries, I can translate what the Spanish wiki has and post that as our skeleton summaries, and then people can edit as they read and fix the details and such. Also I'd recommend that we add references with chapter numbers (page numbers are impossible but at least we can show that we aren't just making this info up).

As for the FC, I think the main problem we've had each time is not necessarily with the story ideas themselves, but it's because we lose momentum each time. We can't decide on a story idea that's going to make everyone happy, but if there were some means to grant the plot more immediacy, maybe we could keep the momentum going. I was thinking that it would be great if, instead of doing a ten-year time skip where canon elements are not actually that relevant, we could set the FC right after the War. That way, it forces the characters to deal with the fallout of war (like what's happening in CFYOW). Another Bleach RP site I'm on had a "five-year Shinigami plague" that killed nearly half the Gotei's forces. The current storyline is set right after the end of that plague, where the characters have to come to terms with their losses. Idk, I just think if we settle on the right context it would make the actual plot lines more, well, meaningful.

My only other concern is that: If we start focusing on canon content it might push attention away from the main purpose of this site: which is writing and editing fan fiction articles.
