Introduction[]
Hello there! I'm Staurophobia, the bureaucrat of the Gaia Storyline wiki! Working on archiving Gaia's storyline is a thrilling project that I've always wanted to accomplish, even back as a teenager during the site's heyday. But as you can imagine, it's a very daunting task and there is a lot of work involved. So here is how you can help!
Editing[]
Despite its age, the Storyline Wiki is still very new and there's a lot of content that needs to be added. I'm currently going through and adding things with a style guide still in the works as I move along. But in the meantime, you're free to add whatever you can! Bear in mind that everything added to the wiki at the moment is subject to change later on, but I do not plan on removing contributions.
Sources[]
One of the hardest things to come by sometimes can be sources! Please share any links you've found that summarize old events or happenings, quotes from the staff about the storyline and its development, or even links from the Wayback Machine you've found. They all go a long way to help the project!
Currently I'm looking for...[]
- Sources for who wrote and illustrated Gaia's Storyline Manga. While it may be easy to guess on a lot of these, we really need reputable sources.
Images[]
A picture says a thousand words! Any image you have pertaining to Gaia's storyline, events, happenings, and so on are very useful! Screenshots are very welcome and edited pictures can be very helpful too (just let me know beforehand!).
Currently I'm looking for...[]
- Old pictures of Gaia's maps. Pictures of maps during story events like the Gaia Olympics 2004, holiday events, the Tower of Gambino, things of that nature.
- Screenshots of Gaia's maps. Sprites walking around Gaia's map, Gambino falling from the tower, sprites that gave manga updates when clicked--anything you have helps!
- Wallpapers shared during events or that used to be on Gaia's downloads page. Any size!
- Site artwork, like character art, banners, sprites, preview images from old announcements, etc.
- Screenshots from events, whether it's giving a kiss during the Valentine's event, or zapping a cow during the Zurg invasion!
To Gaia Staff[]
To any staff members currently or previously a part of Gaia Online, your input helps as well! PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY INFORMATION THAT VIOLATES ANY AGREEMENT.
Currently I'm looking for...[]
- High quality renders of artwork you've made for the site, whether that's character artwork, maps, etc. Artwork made using characters and settings from the site that was discarded or otherwise unused also wanted!
- Behind-the-scenes information on character development or storyline updates, whether they were used or not.
- Sources! Who created what plot, who drew what, who played what character during forum/Towns events, and so on.
