Re: If you were a Yuletide Mod...

AYRT

But that's similar to what it is and everyone is nominating hockey teams where the person played once 5 years ago to get around eligibility requirements. I'm not sure making it more specific will really help.

Well, we already allow, like, historical fiction about real people. And contemporary fiction about real people. And a lot of the things that get nominated for yuletide - like comedy shows - already blur the line between fiction and reality. So if you can find, like, a specific book or documentary about your hockey team to nominate, I don't see why it couldn't get in? And if someone wanted to nominate, like, the Feb 22 2020 Leafs/Canes game, I feel like that's valid, as long as their prompts were about that game. But you still couldn't nominate an entire team or whatever.

Honestly I'm not too upset about people "bending eligibility requirements" for RPF. Most of the people nominating hockey teams lately seem to genuinely want rare corners of the fandom, and I have requested Sherlock Holmes multiple times in YT, so. Nobody is trying to get Sidney Crosby into YT.

I'm aware that banning RPF won't happen. This is why it's a fantasy on a coal thread, not me actually campaigning for it. I just find RPF kinda gross generally and would love to get rid of it so I don't have to think about its existence. Making nominations smoother and avoiding arguments is a nice icing on the cake.

Just ban hockey RPF, period. All sports and acting RPF.

All RPF.

If you want your real people find a fictionalized work where there character. (I am willing to give a pass to rpf of people dead for 100 years or more, but I want original fiction to be allowed as a fandom in exchange. Because historical rpf is literally just historical fiction.)
