Bogey-Pedia

Oct 16, 2010 15:47

I've been compiling a database on Microsoft Word for a year now, covering all the various bogeymen of the world and of fiction, as well as information about them regarding their myths and physical appearances. I have so much information that I'm actually considering starting a fan wiki.

Well, at the very least, get it out of Word and into a database format. Can you run Access? I can make you something pretty simple.

A wiki is, basically, a public-access database. Depending on how much info you've got, I can put it into a database for your private use.
MSAccess is the easiest one. But there's others.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I specialized in relational database management and categorization. I think what you're interested in doing is a taxonomy and classification database of bad guys.

Boogey men...scary. When I was a kid I was convinced one was somewhere in that cavern of a closet of mine LOL. This sounds very interesting and I think you should start a fan wiki!

If I do it, it will include nursery bogies, cannibalistic creatures, urban legends, and horror film bogeymen (such as Freddy Krueger and Michael Meyers). It's quite extensive.

It was, interestingly enough, after seeing an episode of Star Trek when I was a little kid that triggered this fear of some bogeyman in my closet. I remember details of the episode to this day.
