## Introduction Statement

Hello there! Welcome to the Backrooms Mythos Wiki. This is my own writing interpretation of the Backrooms, and is an on-going passion project of mine. While this wiki has only been around for a bit, this project goes a little farther than just this initial wiki. When I originally started, this was all condensed onto a few google doc pages; with topics like entities, levels, and other such topics being split up into different pages and parts. (The levels page that I used was over 68 pages long) I had been wanting to create a wiki like this for a while, maybe even trying out wikidot, though that never went through. It took my a while to actually grasp the key concepts of making a wiki, and the first initial crashed and burned pretty much immediately, cause I hated trying to code in things.

The idea for making this came from one of my friends, and when I had discussed the topic of the Backrooms to him. I don't remember what made me want to make that first google document, but I did. My friend later called it a domino effect, as I would just keep adding and adding to it. Making revision after revision until eventually we ended up here. I find it absolutely insane how this even started in the first place, and this site and concept as a whole has done far more than just keep me entertained. It has shown my passion for writing in general, something I thought I would never like to begin with. More or less it came down to making a good explanation for things, and that mentality that I could write this myself. Y'know, when you see something that's pretty terrible and you think that you, yourself can make it better.

One thing I've struggled with heavily is motivation. As they say, no man works alone, and I have solely been working alone. And granted I have this wiki and could possibly get the help of other people, in some way. But the thought of a project that I have been working on for literal years being in the heads of people I might not be able to convince or really control, terrifies me. I'm horrified of my wiki being ruined by one person or a group of people. Or scared that the vision that I have (as vague as it right now) will be tainted later on by random strangers on the internet. So for now at least, I don't intend to get any help besides suggestions. I also worry that if I do get help, it will be hard to explain how I even make these in the first place.

## How could I help?

Well, firstly, I don't really want help to be honest. Yes suggestions and comments may be nice, but I really only want you to observe, not make. Please, Please, Please, do not make any pages on this site. Even if it genuinely helps me, or is a neat addition to the site, or even if it fits neatly into the intricate web of this site, don't do it. You can suggest things, and maybe even write up pages of your own on the Community Page. If you do do that here are some criteria I'd like.

* **Add images to the suggestion / idea.** (This helps greatly with visualizing what you are making or trying to suggest.)
* **Have interesting writing, or a unique idea.** (No one likes the same thing done over and over again. Make the idea unique and fresh.)
* **Describe what it is.** (This one might sound obvious, but if you don't include what it is — (Level, Entity, Object, Group, et cetera.) — its hard to actually implement it.
* **Don't plagiarize.** (While I admit, not everything in here is entirely original, that doesn't mean you should follow that trend. (Besides I will work to fix that in the future) Don't add master chief into the Backrooms.)
* **Make it appropriate** (Pretty self-explanatory. Make it serious. The best way to look at the majority of the pages is like a part explanation, part survival guide kind of thing. (This applies more to entities and levels than objects.)

This helps with making general page ideas (if your actually gonna write it down) You don't really need to add the other details like index's or entity hazards, or any of that fancy stuff. All I really need is the image of the thing and text to go along with it. Plain and simple, let me deal with the complicated stuff later. If you'd like to add that then that is completely okay, in-fact it makes my job easier. Though as it stands you only really need to add that, as context clues will tell me about the thing and how dangerous it is, how complicated it is, et cetera.

## Do you plan to let people contribute?

**No.** Maybe in the future I could allow people to make there own pages. But as it stand I do not want anyone to contribute to the wiki. And while that sounds wrong — why did you make a wiki if you didn't expect people to contribute to it? — But for me that's just not what I want. I've worked on this since 2021 (Two years) and originally when I did start it, It was just me working on it cause no one else could work on it. Google Docs isn't really accessible for others. But I directly stated that this is a personnel wiki for me, and If I could just make it private I would do so. But as it stands I'd like you to touch with your eyes, rather than with your hands. ~~(Sounds weird I know)~~

If you do for any reason make an edit to anything, post your edit in the feed or a proposed idea for an edit and I'll review it and see if it fits.

## What do you mean ongoing?

Its not finished. Work in Progress (WIP), not done.

Its gonna be a while, (Probably never) until I finish. But for me its not about finishing it. Its just writing. I find it enjoyable to type away at my keyboard and actually finish something. It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something and not just slaving away at the day purposelessly. I feel gratitude from it, and when I show it to other people, and then they say how much they like it I makes me feel good as well. Cause I don't just do it for myself. I do it for the people I care about, like my friends. Because after all, they are the ones who inspired me to do this in the first place.

However, I am burnt out a lot with this concept. And I feel myself struggling a lot to actually work on this site. It went from working on it constantly, to working on it whenever I feel like it. And that honestly goes for a lot of what I do. I procrastinate a lot in real life.

## Closing Statement

I hope you enjoy this site, as much as I enjoyed making it. It has certainly been a ride going from a single google doc, to this. I see this as a very important thing in my life. Its shown me my passion for writing and explaining things, and really has changed my life for the better really. And for that, I have to just thank all the people who have written things for the Backrooms. They have inspired me heavily. The Backrooms Wikidot, and Backrooms Fandom here on — you guessed it — Fandom, have given me a wealth of inspiration and a little motivation to keep going. But I have to thank my friends the most for giving me the idea to do this at all, and the motivation to continue.

But most importantly. . .

**Thank you for checking this out, and most of all appreciating my work. It means the world to me.**
