User blog comment:LovelyChrys/Fanfic on this wikia?/@comment-5014364-20120530042128

You....do you *conceptualy understand* that wikis are "online encyclopedias"? This isn't a livejournal fanfiction circle. Nor am I disparaging fanfiction (I believe that the best fanfiction from different scifi fandoms graduates into being Expanded Universe stuff; well, not automatically, but if they get given the greenlight by official sources).

No wiki, for *any* major television, movie, or comics series, EVER posts articles on fanfiction.

That's not what wikis *are*.

If you would like to write your own fanficition, post it off-site on say livejournal, and then post a link to it in the community forum here, I have no problem with it whatsoever.

This is a god-damned encyclopedia project devoted to Game of Thrones. With articles on things like "Tyrion Lannister"....do you seriously think that your random fanfiction should be put alongside such official materials?

When you're not busy making fanart and treating this wiki like a tumblr page, or writing fanfiction....

....do some "actual work" adding categories or writing up encyclopedia pages.

Oh, you think I'm being harsh? If you want to write fanfiction and make fanart, why the heck did you even come to a wiki page? This is not a rhetorical question I want a direct answer. I mean just...why? Why aren't you spending your time expressing yourself via livejournal and tumblr? These kinds of websites are better suited to the interests you are pursuing.

This is an encyclopedia project. I am unashamed to point out that suggesting to add your own fanfiction into the wiki isn't supporting such a project. I shouldn't feel guilty or remorseful that I'm "yelling" at you and I don't.

Seriously; if you were asked to write a book report and handed in fanfiction, would the teacher be considered "mean" for telling you this work was unacceptable?
