Forum policies
Before contributing to the Forums, please keep in mind a couple of best practices for conduct:

Be nice and treat people with respect.
 * People from all around the world read and edit this wiki and its forums. Like any other collaborative project, not everyone will agree all the time. Keep discussions civil and be open minded about differing opinions. We're all here because we love the same topic.

Try to find existing discussions first, but don't be afraid to start a new thread.
 * Please take a moment to sift through the Forum boards to see if a discussion already exists about something you want to talk about. If you can't find what you're looking for -- be sure to jump right in and start a new discussion!

Ask for help.
 * Notice something that doesn't seem right? or do you have a question? Ask for help here on the forums! If you need help from Wikia staff, please reach out on Community Central or via Special:Contact.

Have fun!
 * The community is happy to have you here. We look forward to seeing you around as we discuss this topic we all love.

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and receive notifications (either on-site or via email) if a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to sync a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with "Lord Voldemort" will appear at the bottom of the "Lord Voldemort" article.

Wiki FAQ
What is this Wiki about?
 * This Wiki is about the books called Martian Mail. They have yet to be published, but you can enjoy the preview that the author has given us.

What inspired the author to write these books?
 * "My inspiration came from both astronomy and science fiction movies and books. I love studying the planets, stars and galaxies, so I thought, why not make a book about them. The Martian Mail books are like stew, with so many ingredients. I wanted these books to be a mixture of, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Hunger Games. At any rate, these books will keep you reading on till the very end!" -- Martian Mail Author

Can you give us any details about the books?
 * Not at the moment. Hopefully the books will get published. I haven't sent them to a publisher yet, but then we'll have to see how they like it. I'll let you all know when the release date is. You all will be the first to know.

What is the conflict in the story?
 * I can tell you that. The conflict in Martian Mail is that this boy named Scott Dephony, his sister Lala Dephony, and their friends, Bobby and Joey get caught up in this Martian war. The evil Martian, Detour, keeps sending Scott letters. The question is: When will Detour attack and Can Scott and his friends escape Detour alive?
