Truly one of my greatest callings in life is making fan art for underappreciated fantasy books I read as a child

Every Charlie Bone book is like "the horrors are unending but luckily the horrors from last year are your allies now so the number of horrors is actually the same"

One of my goals for 2024 is to get more people involved in Fandom. I love the communities here on Tumblr & there are so many great & clever people on here who carry so much knowledge. However, that knowledge can & should be shared - at least in my opinion - & an easy way to do that is to get involved on Fandom & their wikis.
Now, I promise, it's not intimidating - if you can create & edit a Tumblr post, you can edit articles & pages on a wiki. Here, you can find an easy step-by-step guide on how to get started with contributing, but you can also message me & maybe I can help guide you through any question marks.
For this first post, I want to highlight some wikis dedicated to children's literature that need some help & love from their fans:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - the pages linked here need to be expanded, so if you know something, don't be shy :)
Amelia's Notebooks - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Blackwell Pages - all pages need to be expanded on
Bone - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Boxcar Children - links need to be added to these pages
Children of the Lamp - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Charlie Bone/The Children of the Red King - all pages need to be expanded on
The Chrestomanci Series - links need to be added to these pages
Emily of New Moon - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Endling - links need to be added to these pages
----
The Green Ember - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Howl's Moving Castle - all pages need to be expanded on
Jumanji - links need to be added to these pages
Little House on the Prairie - add links from IMDb, TV.com & TV Guide to each episode's page, plus the complete cast & crew for each episode
The Magic Thief - all pages need to be expanded on
The Magic Tree House - links need to be added to these pages
The Magisterium - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Night Speakers - the pages linked here need to be expanded
Ruby Redfort - the pages linked here need to be expanded
----
The School for Good and Evil - links need to be added to these pages
Septimus Heap - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Sisters 8 - all pages need to be expanded on
The Three Investigators - links need to be added to these pages
Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn - all pages need to be expanded on
The Underland Cyclopedia - the pages linked here need to be expanded
The Unwanteds Series - links need to be added to these pages
Warhorse - all pages need to be expanded on
Wonder - pages for the cast and crew of the Wonder film need to be added
Zathura - all pages need to be expanded on
Now, this is quite an extensive list, but if your favourite book or series isn't mentioned here, I suggest checking out the literature page, the book club or go to this page & simply search for your favourite book/series/author.
To repeat what I said at the beginning of this post, there is a step-by-step guide on how to start contributing, but don't be shy to message me if you have any questions :)

Round 1, Poll 6: The Mysterious Benedict Society vs Charlie Bone
Tumblr media
The Mysterious Benedict Society is approaching the status of a classic with a successful TV adaptation, and Charlie Bone has faded over the year, but don't count your chickens before they hatch
Remember to reblog for a bigger sample size!

95 percent of Charlie Bone’s problems are directly a result of a combination of three things: a) unlike his most obvious literary comparison, Harry Potter, he is not a trouble magnet, trouble doesn’t happen to him, he actively seeks out trouble to get himself into—if he just minded his own business he’d have a (comparatively) normal life and we’d have nothing to read about, b) he is the worst, most feeble liar I have ever had the pleasure to read about, and c) even when he is innocent and has nothing to lie about, when caught in suspicious circumstances, the most incriminating sentence that could possibly be said in that situation falls out of his mouth when confronted by an authority figure. And it’s SO FUNNY

Reblog with your Obscure Fandom™ that includes yourself and like, maybe one other person. If enough of us band together we'll find each other and raise awareness.
Also if it was a bad video game from your childhood that you were impressionable enough to believe had a good and compelling story but that made virtually no cultural impact, I see you.

Objectively, the funniest part of the first book is when Dr. Bloor, rationally, says they can't be sure Charlie has the case they're after.
And Manfred is just like "Of course Charlie has it. Never mind that we only saw him leave with a normal bookstore shopping bag and not the case itself, and that Julia just received tons of boxes with Dr. Tolly's inventions and it could still be in any one of them, and that Charlie couldn't have had any idea to seek out this random object he had no way of knowing was distantly connected to him. Obviously she gave the super important plot device to a random 10-year-old she literally just met and has no reason to believe she would ever see again, much less would miraculously be both willing and able to help her find her missing niece"
and he's RIGHT

Jenny Nimmo so so valid for refusing to introduce any significant romance in Charlie Bone look people this is Charlie an 11-13 year old boy his interests include not dying and his best friend's dog that's it. The truest representation of the age I've ever seen.

Be more like Paton Yewbeam. Have a crush on a delightful rare and ancient books shop owner. Only leave the house when it’s dark out, wearing sunglasses to avoid an Incident. Lock yourself in your room to mope and study history at the smallest inconvenience. Eat a solid block of cheese (by biting directly into it, no slicing) at one in the morning because you’re hungry and your weird great nephew is getting cryptic warnings from cats (again).

As of book 5 Fidelio Gunn is quite possibly my favorite character because as the only unendowed kid in the friend group at school (especially after Olivia finds out that she is endowed), there have been several moments where I’ve been half-expecting him to feel left out or not special—but that never happens. He’s like “yeah yeah your superpowers are cool and all, couldn’t be me, I’ll be over here with my violin, have fun, call if you need me.” And sure, he can’t turn into a bird or call down thunderstorms, but he’s consistently Charlie’s right-hand man because there is no one more willing to help at all times and has never once panicked about anything in his life. This kid’s endowment is his can-do attitude
