Forum:SH:An "About" page for Star Wars Fanon

I've been working on an "about" page for Star Wars Fanon for a few weeks now, with some valuable input from Goodwood. Before creating a consensus track topic for this&mdash;it'll need one because it establishes differing definitions for fanon and fan fiction for the purposes of our wiki&mdash;I wanted to post a link here to get your thoughts on it.

Here is the link. The actual link, if adopted, would be Star Wars Fanon:About, which is currently a redirect.

To give you a brief overview, this is meant to be a new Fanoneer's first introduction to Star Wars Fanon, something other than policies they can read to help them get acclimated here on the wiki&mdash;which is very important because Star Wars Fanon is often a new Fanoneer's first experience on Wikia and wikis in general.

The first section states the purpose of the wiki, which essentially boils down to Ataru's cliche of writing what you want because of etc etc etc etc. It establishes right in the beginning that this is a free and open atmosphere for creative Star Wars writing. Then comes the definitions for fanon and fan fiction. I'll let you read those rather than rambling on about them. Next up is why someone would want to be a Fanoneer. This is the result of this thread. The last two sections talk about what to do as a Fanoneer, and other things that are important to know.

That's everything that I came up with. Now it's your turn to sound off and chime in. Looking forward to your feedback! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:47, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
