SCP and the Backrooms share the connection that they are both notable works of fiction that don't really qualify as "original fiction" for the purposes of FCOC as a result. As, if we counted every "original" fiction, then technically every VSBW verse would be something indexable on FCOC, which isn't the case.

In my personal opinion, "original fiction" should only be user-created works that users want to index their own stuff. Like if you were writing a novel and also happened to be a part of this community and thus wanted to index it like how VSBW indexes stuff and whatnot. Which is why something like that roleplay differs heavily.

SCP and the Backrooms also aren't works of fan fiction. They are their own separated continuity. Although there are apparently some references and whatnot here and there.

The roleplay on the other hand... isn't notable at all, was created by a user of these wikis, and is also a fan-fiction work. Completely different.

So characters that are from fiction that's considered too obscure to be allowed on vsbw wouldn't qualify for fc/oc since it wasn't created by one of its users? I wouldn't be able to move this page over once Ant's crackdown on less-popular fiction goes through, but I would be able to make pages for the Pokemon/MLP-centric comics by the same creator?

That seems pretty weird to me. Like the "FC" and "OC" aren't cohesive parts of a whole, but just two random bases of media.

I should say that is mostly just my personal opinion with it comes to original stuff. I don't really want a lot of non-user-created pages flooding the site and obscuring stuff that is user-created. Because I mostly see the site as a place for personal fictions over all else.

Though it also just depends. There's yet to be concrete standards. Atm we're kinda just doing a staff vote on what individually should and shouldn't be allowed. Like for SCP, we all didn't want it there.

It's... complicated.

Fair enough. I'll be interested to see the conclusion y'all come to!

By any chance would Shinza be included there? Namely as after digging around, it's a rather obscure novel mostly exclusive to Japan from a company that went bankrupt after trying to make an anime for it, so it's far from iconic or notable. When looking it up most results also lean to VSBW.

Shinza is not for FCOC, if that's what you're asking. That'd be Alt battles or vsbw stuff to handle.
