"If a member has posted their own fanfic in our files section and/or
announced a link to their fanfic on fanfic.net, but noone else recommends or
raves about it, am I obligated to include it in the Recommended Fanfics
anyway? Or, should I only include fanfics that are *recommended* by at
least one member?
I am including fanfics that I think are perfectly horrible (but they've been
recommended by one or more members so. . .). But, I am sort of leaning
toward drawing the line with the first scenario (they post the link & noone
ever comes back & says "Oh that was great" or "Enjoyed your fanfic")."
How about doing a favourite fanfic section and then include an also
mentioned fanfic section. A small blurb could be written on each of the
recommended fanfics (the authors have probably already done this for us - I
am trying to avoid adding too much extra work for Penny) and then just list
the others. This avoids any executive decisions having to be made on what is
good and what is not (an especially good idea as this is quite subjective).
"Priori Incantatem is obviously a spell, but covers issues relating to Harry
and his parents and wands. Am I okay including all the discussion points
under the above?"
The spell, which comes up in the chapter with the dark mark should
definitely be in the Spells FAQ. I better keep quiet on the rest, as I do
not want to cover this but just put a link from the Wand FAQ.
