We are not a place to post | We are not a place to post fan fiction, or fan-produced titles of any kind. As our [[T:USER FANFIC|user page policy]] states, [[w:c:doctorwhofanon:Main Page|Doctor Who Fanon Wiki]] or [[w:c:dwexpanded:Main Page|Doctor Who Expanded]] are wikis — not affiliated with this site in any way — where such things may be welcome. Just to be clear, there should be no fan fiction or art posted in ''any'' [[namespace]] other than ns:2 ({{ns:2}}) — and even that must be done in accordance with our [[Tardis:User page policy|user page policy]]. | ||
As documented at [[T:VS]], we also do not grant real-world ''coverage'' to existing fanmade material, however famous, if it was '''unlicensed'''. We cannot emphasise enough that authorship or format isn't the issue: we don't cover ''Gene Genius'' even though it has [[Sylvester McCoy]] as [[the Doctor]] in it and looks like a conventional ''Doctor Who'' episode, whereas we ''do'' cover something like ''[[Wartime (home video)|Wartime]]'', which many (including its creators) might refer to as a "fan-produced" story. | |||

Fan videos may not be uploaded at any time since [[T:RVID]] prohibits you from any video of any kind. In the event that [[T:RVID]] is modified to allow user uploads, '''you still may not upload fan videos here''', because fan videos are not compliant with [[T:VID|our general video policy]]. | Fan videos may not be uploaded at any time since [[T:RVID]] prohibits you from any video of any kind.
