Welcome to C.Syde's Wiki's Fanon Namespace![1] We look forward to seeing your works join our extensive and varied library of Sims fanon[2] and fan fiction content. However, before you begin bringing your ideas to life, we have a few pointers you might want to take into consideration, as well as some rules and guidelines to be aware of. After all, C.Syde's Wiki is an encyclopaedia where anyone can create pages about anything they wish as long as it's appropriate, and while we welcome fanon content and encourage editors to be creative in contributing their content, our main mission is to preserve and develop the canon[3] information. Because of this, we do have a few definite policies that we enforce regularly. We try to make these rules as easy to follow and understandable as possible. Our goal is to make sure that you are able to create excellent fanon content without negatively affecting other content on the wiki. Before putting pen to paper (metaphorically speaking)
Unless you're signed in or registered, you unfortunately are unable to create fanon content. This is because anonymous edits have been disabled on this wiki, and because we attribute all fanon content to their respective creators, and to make this possible, each author must have a Fandom account. Should you not be registered with Fandom, click here to register a free account. Once you've registered, please make sure you sign in every time you want to edit the wiki or within the Fanon Namespace. Otherwise you won't be able to edit since you must be signed in to edit this wiki.
These are the pages detailing our regulations and rules. All are extensive, so you know exactly what to and what not to do. Remember to abide by the policies!
We also have a few policies applying specifically to the Fanon Namespace. Many are already here, but be sure to take a look at the official policies anyway. If you have any questions, you can ask any administrator or bureaucrat.[4]
Reading other users' fanon may help inspire you for your own! We recommend taking a look at a few examples before starting to write. Creating fanon, step by step
All fanon pages are located within the Fanon Namespace. This means that they all have a 'Fanon:' prefix to differentiate them from mainstream, canon articles. Example: Fanon:Mortimer Goth. Alternatively, below is an article creation box, which you can use to create new fanon articles! Be sure to type in the name of your article after the prefix!
This template[5] lets everyone else know just who wrote the awesome fanon they are about to read. If you created the article through the article creation box, the template will already be preloaded, and will appear as
This is, without any doubt, the most important and fun bit in creating fanon - writing the fanon itself! Make sure you write as much as you can to make your fanon understandable and interesting. Make sure you use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalisation. Separating your fanon into sections (such as 'History') if it's an 'informational' article, or chapters if it's a story, will help you organise the page and it'll also make it easier to edit, because you can edit individual sections later.
It's always useful to add templates to the page. It helps to create a more organised look to the page. Here is a rundown of templates you can add.
Post-creation
From time to time other users may decide to stop by and read your fanon. They may even choose to leave reviews and comments! Check back often to see what those comments are and take them into consideration.
When you get reviews, you may want to make edits and/or revise your fanon based on the advice others have given you. As your writing skills improve, maybe even revisit the fanon and rewrite parts of it! Constant improvement is a good thing, so don't be afraid to change things. Removing fanonIf you don't want to continue writing a fanon for whatever reason, you can let others know that you're no longer continuing by placing a {{Fanon-abandoned}} template on the page. We recommend authors to place the abandoned template rather than ask that it be deleted so that readers can enjoy your fanon even though you are no longer working on it. However, if you insist on deleting the page, add {{Speedydelete|<Author request>}} and an administrator or content moderator will delete your article. Should you wish to resurrect your deleted fanon later on, you always make a request at the Administrators' noticeboard and it will be undeleted, complete with everything that was there before the article was deleted.
