Sonic News Network:Fan fiction

This article describes the official policy of the Sonic News Network regarding fan fiction. A discussion on this subject recently took place at the Community Portal.

Fanfiction is not allowed to be created here in mainspace articles. it may be written in userspace (pages prefaced with "User:") and the fandom forums.

If you see entire fanfictional articles, please use this proceedure: Check the history:
 * If it has been edited mainly by one user and looks like a personally created fanfic, such as someone's fancharacter, move it to that user's userspace by clicking "Move" and then typing in the "To new title:" box User:(the creator's username)/(the old title).
 * If it has been edited by multiple people and looks like a discussion please move it to the newly created Fandom forums. Please see the forum page for instructions on how to do that move, since simply clicking the "Move" button won't work.

Articles may be created on the subject of (i.e. talking about, not copying word for word from) fanfictional works which appear elsewhere and have a wide popularity base. Such fan fiction is deemed "notable". At present there is no official procedure for assessing notablility of fanfictional works. Please feel free to discuss on this page's talk page.
