| | | ''None yet!'' |
| Hello, this is {{User|draggadonYoshi}}, and I would love to have the honor of running the 'Shroom this year. Many of you may not recognize me, because I have only been part of the community for a few weeks now. However, I was an avid 'Shroom reader (and still am), which is what first drew me into the Super Mario Wiki and the greater community and of course, was what made me join here.
| |
| | |
| While it is true that I do not have prior experience of any work with the 'Shroom (writing, etc.) I feel that some new faces in the crowd will take it in a great new direction. Although I, as a candidate may not be as experienced as you would hope for in this position but I can assure you that I will do a great job of running the newsletter in the coming year.
| |
| | |
| Like Meta Knight's campaign, I don't have any special plans, and all of the features and traditions that you know and love about the 'Shroom will remain. It will continue to be integrated with the polls on the wiki's main page, and the Mario awards; I also plan to include more people to be involved the 'Shroom to enrich this. I'm also open to any and all suggestions and new ideas that community members may have, and with your help, we can continue to keep up the 'Shroom as a key feature of our website dedicated to all things ''Mario''. Thank you for reading and considering my campaign!

| As I've stated, managing The 'Shroom requires an intricate balance of communication, dedication, and leadership. A Director is nothing without a team of hard-working staff and writers to maintain the growth of the project. Throughout my term this has been my goal. I'm very passionate about the project, and I care about seeing the growth. I look forward to seeing new writers, as it goes to show me that there's many people that enjoy The 'Shroom, and that gives me motivation to continue on, and makes the job worth it. Sure, me or Perch may be the ones that upload the issues on that exciting release date, but the real stars of The 'Shroom is all of you!

| Another thing I would like to make a note of that in my campaign I didn't specify any plans because, well, I don't really have a lot to say. I feel that many of you already know my general plans, as I have been building on them this entire term. In 2015, there were a lot of special issues. However, as someone wise once said, "If every issue is special, then no issue is special". It was getting to a point where the staff was getting stressed out trying to keep up with all of them. Each special would surpass the previous one, setting a new bar. Again, a healthy staff morale leads to a better issue, and I would rather not repeat this cycle of The 'Shroom, as well put-together these past specials have been. That being said, I am not one to simply disregard tradition without a good reason, so I still have a summer and holiday special planned. Issue 123 was really fun to work with. The theme of Wario was goofy and it had never been done before. I think the staff and writers needed something light-hearted to work with, and Issue 123 definitely delivered. I have some ideas for what to make the summer special for 2018, but I wouldn't want to reveal the theme this early, it's best left a surprise!
| |
| | |
| All in all, I just wanted to provide a bit of insight as to what goes on behind the scenes for The 'Shroom, and show the steps I have done in greater detail. It isn't the easiest thing in the world, but I love what I do, and I hope that you all will continue to enjoy The 'Shroom with what I have to offer.
