Talk:Unclaimed Badfic

Links
You do not have to post to the Board to put a fic on this list. Just because a fic on the list wasn't announced to the Board doesn't mean it can be removed without justification. Someone thought it was worthy of being PPCd, hence it being here. Trojie 22:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

First fic I want to park here is a crossover. Where to put it? Under both fandoms? Indemaat
 * I'd guess put it under whichever is more prominent, if that makes sense JulyFlame 09:49, 7 February 2008 (CST)

Should there be a section here for Tamora Pierce unclaimed badfic? I'm a fan and the Tamora Pierce fandom is at least as large as the Redwall fandom. I've been finding badfic from there all over and I'd like to help. ~Cinnia Aine~ 23:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers, that would be really helpful. I'm a fan too but so far have deliberately avoided badfic for her worlds. However ... if you run across any badslash involving Nealan of Queenscove, I'm definitely interested in killing it! Agenttrojie 02:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if I should notify one of the wikia leaders or edit it myself. I'm not sure of the editing rules for pages like these. ~Cinnia Aine~ 03:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just follow the format of the page. That is, under the right heading, preferably in alphabettical order, add a link to the story (with a name to that link) give the rating and the summary. Simple. IndeMaat 15:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Should there be a new category for Internet Media fics? Things like Red vs Blue, Homestar Runner, the various Abriged anime series, etc. PoorCynic 01:07, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Removing links
Just a thought: if you are removing a fic from the unclaimed list and don't put it on the claimed list could you put in the edit summary why you are removing it? It's bad enough money keeps disapearing from my pocket without telling me where it is going. Indemaat 09:22, 25 May 2008 (CDT)

When you come across a dead link, and can't find a new link to the story by googling it or any other search method, please feel free to remove the link from the list. Don't just add "link doesn't work" to the list. That doesn't really solve the problem, no does it? Indemaat 08:36, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Up-dating the list
To keep this list managable, would it be an idea to remove fics that have been on this list for more than (oh say) 18 months. If no one has come around to claim it by then, it's not very likely anyone will anymore. And it's not like there is a shortage of badfic to chose from. Indemaat 07:49, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * If all the fics that were put on the list before 1 January 2009 were taken off the list, 85 fics would be removed. Something to think about. Indemaat 09:04, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

About 'Saving Connor' (HP fic)
I heard that 'Saving Connor' 's author was no other than Limyaael, author of the famous LJ Fantasy Rants. She also writes original fiction (in her own unique fantasy universes) and wrote LOTR/Silmarillion fanfic. In her rants, she makes it clear that she hates Mary Sues and badfic, be it original fiction or fanfiction. So I wonder why 'Saving Connor' is in a PPC badfic list. I haven't read the fic, though, but I know the author to be very careful not to write badfic. JulyFlame told me she agreed and actually liked the fic, even if some elements could have led her to think it was badfic. Khajidu 16:05, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Coincidence confirmed. This has been attributed to both authors. By said authors. ETA: Confirmed here by one of them that she's the other.Khajidu 17:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
