Inofficial post is unofficial and curious.
I only very occasionally add stuff to Fanlore, but I used to be a heavy editer back in the day. So it idly occured to me to check my edit count: I've never done that before, but apparently it's right there under "My preferences".
Turns out my edit count is 1,208. Hmmm... honestly, I have no idea whatsoever whether that's meagre? average? creditable? (I thought it was more, tbh, seeing as I do tons of silly little typo edits etc.)
Indulge me -- what's your edit count? And how does it compare to your expectations? Any anecdotes you want to share?

So I absolutely commend your dedication to Plans With Cute Names! :D

That's why I have more than one plan! I'm fickle and I need to switch between things. The trick is to break it down into small parts that make you feel accomplished (also, I have a notebook where I write down every page I make and then cross it out; that means I have pages upon pages with crossed out stuff and never more than one or two "to do" items) and relax with low energy edits when you don't feel up to more (adding the date cats does it for me XD).

*Document ALL The Conventions
*Document ALL The ALL The Vids (this plan is much more vague so it a bit harder to carry out)
*Document Virgule-L (the first slash mailing list) - which includes cherry picking interesting conversations and getting permission to summarize/quote with attribution
and my personal favorite....
*Document ALL the Supernatural Big Bangs.
But you're right....with so much to document and only one slightly battered editor, some of these projects will stretch over years
