what I meant was, this tag guidance seems to counter what I understood of tag franchise policies? So the guidance should be changed as well, not just moved from one box to another?
I know of drarry for a Draco/Harry romantic pairing, and dramione for Draco paired romantically with Hermione.
Are there any other pairings that are common enough to have their own shorthand?
I remember reading this novel when I was younger and here are some of the details I remember:
Earth has a space station that is used as a main defense against aliens, however, I believe the Earth also had a space fleet. The aliens would only attack the top 20 'tribes' on the planet since Earth h...
Having recently answered a question relating to stargate, it started me thinking that perhaps we should consider how we're going to organise tags for "franchises" such as Stargate and Star Trek.
The question concerned is tagged stargate and stargate-universe, which I am quite happy with as it tr...
@Jenayah That's from 2011 and with the amount of Qs now things have changed... just use common sense and normal practices i.e. use the franchise and series tag
Googling Aestivate "short story" sleep universes has a fanfiction result with, from the two lines displayed in the Google search results, has Rita Skeeter doing naughty stuff with Lockhart -___-
@Alex pursuant to earlier discussion, find a dozen rather long snarry fanfics, ask dozens of dupes, get to 200 questions, answer them all with a scokpuppet, get the sockpuppet a gold snarry tag badge
@TheLethalCarrot uh, writing a HP ("Snarry") fanfic doesn't seem very complicated, from what I can see of fanfic-id questions. Download whatever fanfic which already exists, replace pixies with screwts or stuff, add a pregnancy here and there (bonus points for male pregancy), have two characters cheat on whoever you paired them with, sprinkle the lot with typos and poor writing style
There's a movie, that I watched in the mid 90's, with a scene where a killer robot wears the face of the friend of the main character.
The scene I remember is on a planet e.g. the moon, and that the main character is in a white dome like structure hiding from the robots. The robot walks by with ...
And, that's just about exhausted my knowledge on the topic. The only true fan-fic I ever read was a couple of X-Men things - Prominently featuring one of my favorite characters, Hank McCoy.
It wasn't bad as a story goes, though I suspect the author absolutely was a Mary Sue in the story.
> I've always heard a lot of good things about Animal Crossing, but I never owned a Gamecube. When it was released on the DS it received such positive reviews that I decided to give it a shot, despite the fact that it appears to have been created for small children suffering from down's syndrome and ADD.
I was not prepared for the shit that goes on in this children's game. The result is this.
I've documented the journey of Billy, a young, happy lad who believes he's going off to have fantastic adventures at summer camp. The following images have not been altered in any way (other than to …
@TheLethalCarrot Some fan-fiction might be worth keeping but I'd be totally fine with banning all Harry Potter fan fiction. In the meantime I will have to settle with the mild pleasure of downvoting such questions.
@Alex You're going to ask questions about fan-fiction you wrote? Are you planning on revealing that you're the author? If so you will probably attract a lot of downvotes.
@SethTaddiken no, it's just that he challenged the community to find everyone in the poster, and didn't say head-on he was the author; therefore some people flagged as spam
@Alex You don't. You illustrate that so far the only reason people do that is to make points. And asking questions to make points comes with problems orthogonal to the topicality question itself. In fact this way you're actually dilluting the subject you weanted to make a point about.
@Null (Well I am somewhat jesting but) my point is that having something on topic which allows anyone to make up anything they want and then ask whatever questions they want about it might not be a good thing.
@NapoleonWilson By forcing the problem to surface it alerts people to the problem, and then they decide to ban fanfiction. It's like some book where they bomb themselves to make it seem like they were attacked and then retaliate.
@NapoleonWilson But it COULD be a problem, and since the future is indeterminate, we can't say it will NEVER happen :) are we still talking about bugs?
@Alex I don't think this is or could be a significant problem given that they'd have to disclose affiliation and would probably receive a lot of downvotes to discourage such behavior.
I hear ya. (By the way, not all the actions I ask about are things that I actually want to do. Most of the time I am just probing the theoretical behavioral limits for the sake of theory.)
@TheLethalCarrot Yeah but it would still be fun to close a question "Why did Voldemort want to kill Harry?" with "sorry, we can't reproduce your problem."
Imagine: My fanfiction:Snape saw Harry in a deserted corridor and said, "Harry, I love you". The next day Ron said to Hermione, "did you hear? Snape professed his love for Harry."My question: How did Ron know that Snape professed his love for Harry if the corridor was deserted?
@Jenayah Are you sure? It's like I say when I tell someone my birthday: "Well, that's what I was told, but I'm not sure - I was pretty young then." (Stolen from Looney Tunes, ttbook)
@Alex If you haven't heard it before, it's new to you!
^^ Stolen from an old NBC ad campaign for their summer re-runs, I think.
@RDFozz I've spent 20 human years on this rock and got to known its unhabitants. Some are friendly, some are a big pain in the [BENICEPOLICY], and having to bear the latter on a daily basis I feel like I could at least be awarded an Earthling title!

I found this Universe: 113 Character Poster, which features a whole bunch of sci-fi characters.
Who is everyone?
