Hey Wikians. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of a brand new initiative here at Wikia, one that fans like you will be given the opportunity to sign up for: the Fan Contributor Program.

Being part of the Fan Contributor Program will allow participants to share their unique voices and perspectives on a new entertainment news and commentary destination created by Wikia that will reach millions of fans. This is part of a new Wikia.com homepage experience that offers fans a more complete source for their favorite fandom.
