HRFWiki2:Fanstuff Guidelines

PBTC STRONG BAD: I like to check like eighteen emails at a time.

 Dear PBTC SB, Do you have any distant relatives? A human named Truant Jaunders

PBTC STRONG BAD: Mr. or Mrs. Jaunders, you have indeed asked a question for I have relatives a-plenty. Take my fourth-twiced cousin five-and-a-half times removed fourteen times unremoved, Fanstuff Guidelines for instance. Say hello, Mr. or Mrs. Fanstuff Guidelines.

FANSTUFF GUIDELINES: Here at the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki 2, we encourage users to create fanstuff. The original fanstuff wiki was meant to showcase fanstuff of genuine quality and substance, but it was eventually filled with enough poor fanstuff that it had to be closed. We've implemented the following guidelines to prevent this from happening to us. We regret having to be legalistic about this &mdash; the wiki is supposed to be lighthearted and fun, after all &mdash; but we have grown to the point that having these standards is necessary, and simply giving free rein in this area is counter to the goals of the wiki. All fanstuff is subject to the following standards...

PBTC STRONG BAD: Fascinating stuff, Fanstuff Guidelines. You truly are the most guidelines of all fanstuff. Tell us more about yourself.

FANSTUFF GUIDELINES: Keep it family-friendly. Only use language and themes that would be considered appropriate on the Homestar Runner site, and do not link to inappropriate content, as this wiki is for all ages. Userpages and talk pages are also subject to this rule. Keep it professional. Grammar is strongly recommended on this wiki to make fanstuff easier to read. Intentionally bad grammar is fine, as long as you make it clear that it is so. Excessive capitalization, punctuation, and bold text are also discouraged. Also, consider the length of the page. If your fanstuff is a paragraph or less, perhaps it would be better suited as a subpage (see below). If a fanstuff is incomplete, add a stub tag to inform readers that more content will be added.

PBTC STRONG BAD: That's not really what I asked but okay. What's your favorite food?

FANSTUFF GUIDELINES: Keep it Homestar Runner. Due to the nature of the wiki, fanstuff is expected to take place in the Homestar Runner universe. You are allowed to expand on this universe with your own characters and ideas, or include content from the Brothers Chaps' side projects (Two More Eggs, Thorax Corp., etc.), as long as they do not make up the majority of your fanstuff. Unrelated content may be posted on the forum or Discord server. Keep it true to the Brothers Chaps' vision. For the most part, fanstuff should be lighthearted and humorous, and the characters should be written how they would normally act. No one wants to read a 500-page fan fiction about Strong Mad's dark spiral into depression.

PBTC STRONG BAD: I wasn't aware that was a food. Can you elaborate?

FANSTUFF GUIDELINES: Use subpages to organize your fanstuff. If your fanstuff uses multiple pages, these must be organized into "subpages" of the main fanstuff page. For example, if your email show is called "Mr. Bland Emails", and the first email is called "homestar", don't create the page homestar; instead, create Mr. Bland Emails/homestar. That way, if someone else wants to create a page titled homestar, they are free to do so. More information here. Add it to the fanstuff portals. We have several categories for different kinds of fanstuff. Be sure to add your fanstuff to one of these portals, but only if it follows the description at the top of each portal. If your fanstuff does not fit a specific portal, add it to Misc.

PBTC STRONG BAD: You're getting on my nerves, Fanstuff Guidelines. All over them. It hurts real bad. You could say it's nerve-wracking.

FANSTUFF GUIDELINES: Don't edit or plagiarize other users' fanstuff. Most edits to other users' fanstuff will be reverted, and if this continues, you could be blocked. There are a few exceptions; for example, if the creator gives you permission, if it has been vandalized, or if it breaks any of the rules. You can also edit fanstuff to change grammatical errors or formatting mistakes, although it is recommended that you alert the user on the talk page instead. The same goes for userpages. Reposting fanstuff from other websites is allowed as long as credit is given to the original creators. Behave in a civilized manner. This goes without saying, but please do not spam or insult other users. If you're not sure, ask a sysop. If you're not sure if something is appropriate, or if it's okay to make an edit to someone else's fanstuff, ask one of our sysops on their talk page. We will try to respond promptly.

PBTC STRONG BAD: Bye, Fanstuff Guidelines. {his leg extends to kick Fanstuff Guidelines offscreen} So there you have it Jaunderson, never listen to Fanstuff Guidelines.
