LGPedia:Lucy's Balcony/Fanfic revamp
Contents
Glossary
| Tier 1 | Tier 1 Fanfic is not notable enough to get listed on LGPedia. All vlogs not belonging to a series fall under this category. (Singular notable vlogs may be listed on a single listing page in the future.) |
|---|---|
| Tier 2 | Tier 2 Fanfic gets a single page with a few basic facts like creators, general plot/topic outline and maybe a list of characters. |
| Tier 3 | Tier 3 Fanfic gets a comprehensive single page, including a more detailed plot outline, episode lists, and similar additional information. |
| Tier 4 | Tier 4 Fanfic is fanfic that, under all objective considerations, should belong to Tier 3, but for some subjective or organizational reason are allowed to branch out and create more than one page. (An example would be that a series is rather small in notability, but has a high number of episodes, so that a separate list of videos makes more sense.) |
| Tier 5 | Tier 5 Fanfic are all "big" series, like OpAphid, Maddison Atkins or Redearth88. They get the same array of pages as canon series, including templates, character/actor pages and categories. |
Criteria
The important and sole decisive criteria is notability. Is a series notable enough to be listed at all, and, if yes, how notable is it?
Unfortunately, notability is very subjective. As such, we have to fall back on objective data to decide whether a series is notable. Such objective data can be:
- Did the series become canon at one point in its life? (Example: OpAphid)
- Did the series get a shoutout or referred to in a canon episode? (Example: Paulmark18)
- How many people in the community have seen the series? (Example: Maddison Atkins)
- How many people in the community have heard of the series? (Example: Immant, Cassieiswatching)
- How many views do the videos of the series have on average?
- How many episodes does the series have?
- How many main characters are there? (Just one vlogger, or an entire cast?)
- How big/complex is the production? (Just one vlogger with a webcam, or an entire crew with multiple sets and scripted episodes?)
- And, especially for Tier 4 series, is there anything special or exceptional that needs to be considered? (Example: Lonelygirl362436 - technically a rather small series, but highly notable because it was produced by the Creators, had Daniel in it and a well-known hollywood actress as its lead.)

List of fan series currently archived on the pedia
If somebody feels like making an actual list, be my guest. In the meantime, there's an older list here, and the general fanfic category.
Agreed listings
Tier 1
- None yet
Tier 2
- None yet
Tier 3
- None yet
Tier 4
- lonelygirl362436 -- as said above, though only three-episode series, the Creators played a part in it, Daniel had a role, and it was viral marketing for Epic Movie
- Deemontreal's "lonelygirl" vid -- though only one video, it has reached 922,540 views - one of the most for any LG15 fanvid. And while it's not fanfiction, it features several recurring themes, events, and jokes from the early days of lonelygirl15.

Mission
We need your comments. Look at the series we already have, look at the series that exist that we don't have yet, and rate them using the criteria above. Try to determine whether a series is notable enough to be listed, and, if yes, which tier it belongs to. Remember to post your reasoning ;)
