So to give a sense of where I was coming from with Featured Fanon, it was designed in many ways to get away from the idea of review boards like what Wikipedia and Wookieepedia have, and what SWFanon used to have. Review boards make sense on communities like those, but I don't think they're needed here for Featured Fanon (Featured Work is another story - I think the Archivists are fine).

Featured Fanon, in my view, is about the story of a page, not the rigid standards. You can obviously look for spelling, grammar, etc. issues covered in the article guidelines, but I would want people to vote based on whether they like the story or not. There's no bureaucracy involved, just people voting yes or no. If they vote no then, if they're so inclined, they can leave constructive feedback, that way it becomes a helpful resource for people as well.
