:::I mean, sure. That's not my concern, I think rule 4 is met, as are rules 1 and 2. It's rule 3 we have to worry about, and whether we interpret posting in a place that's explicitly for fanfic an official release if the authors didn't ''realize'' it was explicitly for fanfic because the wording was poor at the very beginning. And I dunno? Maybe? It's a difficult problem. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:31, November 23, 2020 (UTC) | :::I mean, sure.

:You know, folks, ArchiveOfOurOwn actually has a large "Original Work" category; it ''is'' possible, and indeed downright common, for creators to post original, non-copyright-infringing fiction there. With that in mind, I actually think that if the case ever came up, we shouldn't necessarily balk at a proposition to cover a fully-licensed story that happened to be released on ao3. | |||
:At any rate, I can't rule on the application, but I ''can'', as an admin, clarify the general policy: '''Rule 3 isn't really a matter of authorial intent. That's Rule 4'''. And by the same token, whether something is "branded" as fanfiction could (or could not) have an incidence on Rule ''4''. | |||
:[[T:OFF REL]] is about preventing coverage unlawful leaks and suchlike; if a story has been released, in a non-copyright-infringing way, through the same medium its author and/or editor ''intended'' it to be published through, then ''that'' is what we call an official release. Again, the Candy-Jar ''[[Short Story Collection]]s'' are a good example of things which the publisher brands as "officially-licensed fanfiction" and which breaks Rule ''4'' as a result, but not Rule ''3'', and is therefore covered-as-invalid. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:49, November 23, 2020 (UTC) | |||
