Talk:Servant Of Evil (fanfiction)

Should we delete this? Is it just that I have never heard of it, or is it that no one has heard of it and it's just another fanon-posting person who wants to promote their work? And it also says "fanfiction" in the title as well. -_- Izzybizzy-aru 23:44, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Agree with deletion. Never heard of the fanfiction, and only knew about the videos of that name due to the article here. The Spie 00:43, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

This article's actually been here for a while. I was thinking to tag it with delete since it was a oneshot (and the videos sum up the story much better), but Lilly originally planned for a fanfiction section and we weren't trying to do any promotions of work...actually, I'm not sure how the fanfiction section is supposed to work, considering there are thousands out there. I definitely don't think "popularity" should be a judging factor, lest that overdone Financial Gangbang series from the kinkmeme would be here. Just saying, you know? I'd say "delete" but don't throw all the fanfiction articles out with it. Ceras SanMarina 01:15, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I love Lil, but I always thought the Fanfiction section was too slippery a slope to venture on to. The criteria for cataloging a piece of fanfiction here would be way too subjective. If we used the same ones we use for MADs, namely quality, popularity, ubiquitousness, and influence on the greater fandom...I hate to say this, but Financial Gangbang would deserve an entry. Everyone knows it, it's actually good-quality writing (if viewed objectively from that standpoint), it's inspired artwork, sequels, AUs, etc., and it's had marked influence on wider fandom characterizations of America and Italy. In view of that, the best option might be to scrap all fanfiction from the Wiki. The Spie 04:02, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I don't see a need for fanfiction pages at all. It just doesn't click with me to add those kinds of pages, especially if there's only a few fanfiction pages. Especially when you consider that this is sort of not that original. I'm sure it's good, but it's based off something from Vocaloid. (And it's more of an article about the original Servant of Evil, imo. You can't avoid that with a fic like this.) Plus, there's just too many fanfictions. People would probably also start adding their own for advertising. And, as Ceras pointed out, it's a one-shot. And as we've all pointed out, nobody's even heard of it. I don't see what's so special about this fic, either. I'm sure it's well written, but sure is 90% of other fics I've read. Give them a page too? It's an interesting page, but I vote against keeping it. Though, being the compulsive logger I am, I will save a copy of this entry in case we decide to put it back up. Though it seems that majority (if not all) votes "delete" in big fat letters. This is probably the messiest thing I'll ever post on this Wiki, but tl;dr delete ~ FangzV ' ( Flame at me here'') as said on 13:34, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
