User blog:Ebon Shadowshot/The past is returning, and the future is expanding

It has come to my attention that whilst this Wiki may be dying again (but to be fair, all fanon wikis are falling in popularity lately), certain events have sparked my attention. Perhaps the most notable is the two storylines which draw direct inspiration from A Universe Splintered. In my honest opinion, during the AUS era (January-April 2012), the Wiki was finally rebuilt after the Cold War, activity was large and public interest was high, despite only having inbetween 6-11 users. Summer is just around the corner, and as odd as it sounds, activity rises during Summer (Thank whatever's up there I came in July). Storylines like AUS are interesting, taking aspects of other series and incorporating them with Zombies and in my honest opinion there might be a sliver of hope for a rise in public interest in other's work because of it. And hopefully Black Ops II will also contribute to the Wiki standing on it's own two feet again.

On a more personal note, you may notice many musical easter eggs popping up for the Dark Tears storyline which may appear effemenite, "gay" or sung by gay icons. I can assure anyone that while I do personally enjoy the songs, they all contribute to the story itself in a small way, or just to reflect the events of the map they are on. The only reason I brought this up is due to their nature, it's pretty much the opposite of what to expect out of Zombies, aint it?

I am also going back to the "Yankovic" way of doing musical easter eggs, which I previously done during Dawn of a new Dusk with Slaying Zombies and End of the World of Zombies, so you can suffer or read at your own peril :)

P.S, the introductory paragraph about the AUS era is not gloating, it's just a coincidental observation.
