Thats fair, we gotta return to the early days of ADR lol. I'll make a post every now and then just talking about stuff to make the wiki seem more lively :)

Sorry about not being so active I've had a lot going on especially with personal stuff (My marriage) but I'm back now and will be working on fixing my rig.
color me crazy but the wiki is a bit dead, donchya' think? while its not entirely dead, it could ward off new members when nearly every post is a month old, so maybe, just maybe, post a bit here in the forums? I'll try to atleast XD

Thanks for feedback/ suggestions, and I think I will put smth on the discord! :D
Yoooo, back in action I see :)
Since we need more item ADFs, and we're all in the Christmas spirit, this looks like a great addition to ADR! I actually have a similar idea in my wacky anomaly notes about a cassette tape with a song that causes a violent hailstorm to occur in a small radius around it when played, which is kinda cool. Also, when I was a lil toddler, I remember having this messed-up snowman plushie who was running low on batteries and would sing Jingle Bells while slowly walking forward and dancing, and apparently, I once switched it on and turned it towards an open furnace as my parents told me, so this little reindeer hits close to home XD.
Now, the actual anomaly is great. Such an innocent little thing that plays a happy tune and causes a FUCKING EARTHQUAKE. I really wanna see this thing, both in and out of the plushie, in different scenarios since it can, as you mention, potentially cause eruptions and stuff. Make it cause some CHAOS!!! Idk if you will go the "solo researcher" route or fully involve ADR in this, both of which can work well for this. Still, lmk what vibe you're going for in the story aspect of the article!
Since this is a pretty basic idea, which I have nothing against, there isn't really much to brainstorm about anomaly-wise. But a cool origin would be great for the article if you want it to be impactful, so focus on that part a bit more. Maybe it was a toy of a young child who tragically died in a terrible earthquake, and it sort of "cursed" the music box inside to cause everyone around it to feel what the child did before it passed away? The plush could have been found on the site of the earthquake by a rescue worker, still in the hands of whatever was left of its poor owner… idk something like that would be tragic (and cool) af.
All in all, tis a great idea imo, so go for it! And if you need some help with it, feel free to ask for help in the #brainstorming text channel in the Discord (thx for joining btw).

Awwww, well, it's a good idea to save for later.
Still, kinda sad Dan is leaving ADR, but shit happens :)
The zennest of ions.
Me and Dan decided to cancel ADF-21 and I am here asking for its reserved slot to be removed
Dan has expressed disinterest in continuing with the ADR and thus I am canceling our project perhaps I'll continue after my commitments but as for now I'm placing Genie Box on a shelf for later

In the spirit of the festive season, my shriveled little brain came up with this idea after finding an old Christmas plush with a broken music box in my nan's attic. Still working on it at the moment but I wanna get what I have so far out here :)
Basically, the anomaly is a stuffed reindeer plush containing a music box, which causes seismic events to occur whenever said music box is played. These events will be small scale earthquakes (mainly between magnitudes 4 to 5, with 6 being the absolute worst) and contained to a very small area around the plush, probably 7500 square metres (for reference that's about the area of a football/soccer field).
I'm actually love the body horror aspect of this, especially Jesús' interview log section in the article.
You really did sell the terrifying concept of a virus making the person killed their love one to me and the experiment logs just highlight how dangerous Vivus Sanguis is if the outbreak did happen if it wasn't collected by the ADR Team.
I suppose to write even longer but I didn't really want to write that long for a comment.
Anyway, really reccomanded to read this.
10/5
I still remember this as the first-ever ADF idea posted on the forum, so finally seeing it public and so well written brings me joy :)
So, this article is a blend of a bunch of horror genres, along with a straightforward "science tries to play god" story. It's got the sci-fi horror, the "fear of the unknown" horror, the psychological horror, the existential horror, the ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC body horror, all flowing so naturally while in the form of a simple anomaly research paper. The way it starts out so normal, almost "boring" in a way, only to blast the reader with the true danger aspect of the anomaly just as they're thinking "Oh, that's not so bad!"
Putting myself in the middle of an ADF-9 outbreak gives me chills.
Out of nowhere, there is talk about a "sentient liquid parasite that easily replaces all of your blood". It just needs to enter one person to adapt… You find out a bit too late, however you feel fine. Maybe you're slightly more tired, your eyes are a bit sunken. It's all just from stress, right? That whole parasite story is just an urban legend, no? One day, you're walking around in a grocery store, and, oh? Who's that? It's your childhood friend! You immediately head over to them with a big smile on your face. You get dizzy for some reason, probably just from stress, right? Next thing you know, you're standing over your friend's mutilated corpse. Everything is covered in a pale yellow liquid. People are screaming at you. You have no idea what's going on. Is this a nightmare? Nope! You're infected with a blood parasite that will make you unconsciously have a death battle with any other person who is infected! Is there a cure??? No! Are there any obvious symptoms??? NOT AT ALL!!! YOUR LIFE IS BASICALLY OVER :D
Now that's a fucked up scenario.
All in all, the article is great and a much-needed addition to the Wiki! It really serves as a glimpse into the darker themes of ADR. Yes, the ADR is a humane organization that works "with humanity, for humanity". But it's clear that even with the best of intentions, this kind of work is hard and extremely dangerous. Luckily, this is all fiction! But I know for a fact you have that voice in your head telling you, "Hey, but what if there was a slight chance that this could actually be a real thing? Isn't that neat?"
Ok, sorry for the ramble. I love this article, and I want more stories revolving around ADF-9. I hope you had a lot of fun working on this and I hope we will see another article from you someday!

Yippee, tysm! I've had so much fun making this, gonna go publish the article now. B)
Also, will definitely check out the discord. Thanks again!

Heyooo, sorry for taking a while to check this out!
Now, THIS is how you write an ADF. Peak fiction! Congrats on perfecting your article in only 2 drafts btw, it saves me a lot of time XD. I don't have any feedback to give since it would just be a review of your ADF, which I will write when you publish it. Oh, and feel free to join our Discord server for easier communication, we're chill there and you can freely @ me with any questions or whatever.
Anyway, I fixed a couple of grammatical, spelling, and phrasing mistakes you might not have noticed, so your article is READY FOR PUBLISHING!
YIPPIEEE!!!
Edit: If you're curious about the changes, apart from very minor grammar and spelling shit, I mainly changed "Research Facility No. ███" to "Collection Facility #███" since that's the correct name and numbering here at ADR. Also, we don't really use [REDACTED] or [DATA EXPUNGED] since simply using the black boxes is way more convenient, so I changed "[DATA EXPUNGED] Medical Research Facility" to "███████ Medical Research Facility". We gotta stay lore accurate and stuff :)
The zennest of ions.
Approved :)
The only sentence that should be re-phrased is
"…which is when its administrator at the time, Administrator ███████, moved its operation to the United States under the name Paranormal Containment and Consultant Society, or P.C.C.S., after his death and succession by Administrator Ambross."
Because you say how Administrator ███████ moved the operation, and then you say "after his death", which is kinda contradictory lol.
Was the operation moved AFTER HIS DEATH, or are you simply stating how Administrator Ambross was his successor? Basically, make that statement clear and you'll be good to go!

I get the basics ██████ Inc. are the ones who fund the ADR
but would they be considered a R.I.G.?
