I was think more along the lines of us being fans of the show along with our avatars. Couse thats what we are doing. We moderate the information site ordinary people go to.

Aso if this all took place in the RWBY universe, tjis whole idea and town woud infact be breaking the forth wall all the time. More than my origional idea. But i can see what you mean by saying it does need to be taking place in the RWBY universe.

My other idea was us being a Fan Club in the universe of RWBY itself. But, Since we, ike RWBY are based on the interenet we could pull off the vertual reaity idea.

Also Red Vs Blue is technectly fanfiction too. But to a larger scale. They take some of the ideas from the source and made something kinda like what where making.

My point is, it dosn't have to completey tie into the series it's self. Like I said the characters know there vertual and not real. Maybe the universe of RWBY is the rea one and they just take the information and spread it around in our universe.

You get what i'm saying?
