Fanedit-related threads Can't Post

Have the admins come to decide how to handle fanedit discussions on TORn, and if so what Topic they should be posted under?

We're still discussing it [In reply to] Can't Post

No decision as of yet. Smile

I really think fan edits should go under fan art... [In reply to] Can't Post

It's essentially fan fiction, right?

I completely agree [In reply to] Can't Post

totally, 100% agree. A fan edit is taking someone else's work and re-doing it with your own interpretation. If that isn't fan art, I don't know what is.

Silverlode has articulated TORn's position well [In reply to] Can't Post

in this thread. Since nearly all the content of a fan edit is original, copyrighted material, it does not meet TORn's expectation that Fan Art is for fans to share their original creations based on the JRRT books and Peter Jackson movies.

I'm not a fan [In reply to] Can't Post

of fan edits. I try to just overlook them on the movie boards. Thanks for the link to Silverlode's post - I thought the fan art board was being considered as being more suitable for them, but I had missed some new news there. All the research and details and angles you guys have to be experts on in these situations is just mind-boggling! Oh well... in the meantime I can just continue to hit the ol' imaginary ignore button Angelic.
