Naruto Fanon Wiki:Fanon/Fanfiction policy

This is the policy on the differences between ' and ' on.

Terminology

 * Fanon: A term used in fan fiction to describe commonly accepted ideas among authors (both published and fan fiction authors themselves) even if they are not actually expressed in the canon work.


 * Fan fiction: Fan fiction is a broadly-defined fan labor term for stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, rather than by the original creator. This is allowed on Naruto Fanon to take place between one or two users.


 * Roleplaying: The act of engaging in a story, fight, or other venue with multiple users. A roleplay can consist of two or more users.

Overview
This policy has been authored as a compromise between those who are proponents of the new content policies (Sharingan policy, Rinnegan policy, etc.) and opponents of the aforementioned policies, who have cited fan fiction as a reason they shouldn't be implemented. The following is the policy in such regards;

Roleplaying
 * If a character on this site is to engage in "roleplaying", they must follow all content policy rules unless exempt by an administrator.
 * Note: Exemptions are very rare, and are unlikely to take place. Do NOT ask for exemptions.
 * Fan fiction-only characters may enter roleplays if they too meet with the standards of the content policies.

Fan fiction
 * Fan fiction-only characters, by their very nature, are made for personal stories (between one or two users) to form a coherent storyline. For this reason, they are exempt from content policy rules.


 * That being said, if a fan fiction character is known to have broken a content policy rule, that makes them immediately ineligible to roleplay with anyone until such a time that the character is properly mended for roleplaying.

Loopholes
To prevent any misconceptions, there is no loop holes in this policy.


 * Fan fiction characters, while they may break content policy rules, cannot roleplay no matter the circumstances.
 * This can only be lifted if they change the content of their page to match the criteria of a role-player.


 * If the administration notices a user (or two) abusing the fact that two or more users can create fan fiction, they may break up the fan fiction after a unanimous consensus of the admins.
 * Fan fiction forms a storyline; not a bunch of fights. Fights, while they can happen in fan fictions, are mainly roleplay material when they are between two users.

Other Notes

 * Ten Tailed Fox is the admin that primarily deals in this policy. For questions, direct them to his message wall.
