I understand, I just don't completely agree and so do a lot of other users. A large majority of users feel that fan-fiction isn't allowed and because there isn't anything written down that says otherwise, that is what they believe. As mentioned above, policies are different from one site to another, so without a clear understanding of the rules, you end up with different people with different ideas about what the rules are.

On my other wiki, Blogs are very limited as far as what is allowed; it is a wiki on a book series so the blogs consist of a review blog for each book, blogs for new information on upcoming books, and expectations about the next book. Here it kind of annoyed me at first that there were about 20 review blogs per episode and not one official one, but I didn't mind. However I still have a certain rule set in my mind about the proper place for things. Even before I joined, fan-fiction blogs got mostly negative reviews and I thought it was officially banned as for a time, blogs with FF were deleted.

All I'm saying is make a Blog policy clearly outlining what content is or isn't allowed and we won't end up with these kinds of issues in the future.

PS: Also please don't call me Cloud. It just sounds weird when I read it because my mind always goes to Final Fantasy and I never even played the games. Darkcloud is fine, or DC, or Puppy.
