User blog comment:Seishoujo/Fanons are disturbing/@comment-3146930-20131006104929

I completely agree. As a fan-fiction writer myself (not for RWBY, but maybe some day), I don't try and post it on the Encyclopedia site, even in the off topic forums. However lately there seems to be a lot of people posting their OC backgrounds and such on the blogs, which in my opinion should be deleted instantly. There is also one major fan-fiction that I know of which for the most part stays in the Off-Topic area...until they post blogs about their updates and characters.

I can understand that maybe the idea for that project started here and most of the users involved in that project started here, but that doesn't mean that it is right and is still fan-fiction and should be on a RWBY fanfiction site. One of the reasons they want to keep it here however is because it will get more exposure, which once again isn't a good enough reason to break the rules. If they don't like the Fanon site, then they should make their own.

But this is just my opinion. I've be a B-crat for another encyclopedia site for a few years and any fan-created information is removed, even speculation. Blogs that aren't really about the goal of the site are deleted as well. It helps keep the users focused on the actual site itself.
