But aren't there killed RPFs on the wiki though?

Will any K-Pop and/or Korean culture enthusiast please stand up? by Ki no Shirayuki on 2021-04-17 05:18:00 UTC Badfic report Reply

'Cause I've got hilariously bad BTS crossovers for y'all!

The canon being crossed over with is Onmyōji (2016 mobile game by NetEase). While I'll leave the possible inaccuracies and goofs from the K-Pop side to more knowledgeable folks, the Onmyōji canon fails are pretty glaring to me throughout.

To Master Seimei, the greatest and wisest Onmyoji in all of Nippon, the protector of Kyoto, adviser to emperors and governors of Heian, and last but most importantly, our most trusted companion and ally,

C'mon, how hard is it to say Japan? That aside, Japan would be known as Wa to people from China and Korea in that period. Seimei in this canon is not an advisor to anyone and isn't directly involved with royalty and nobility; he works independently, and people come to his house whenever there are supernatural problems for his help. The one more involved with the nobles and royals would be Hiromasa.

Hoseok is cheery as always, despite being the vessel of Lord Enma, and being the ruler of Death, he always try his best to brighten up the mood whenever we were feeling down or caught ourselves in a tight situation, all the while guiding lost and wondering souls to the Underworld.

Enma is a lady in this continuum, and she doesn't guide lost and wandering souls to the afterlife herself. Onitsukai demons under her command do that, case in point Mujō brothers. Also, where the heck is Hangan? Enma already has a "vessel" canonically, and he would be it.

Muramasa, the infamous Demon Blade, Devourer of souls, unrivalled in swordsmanship, took the form of a sweet-looking boy

Muramasa lived in the 1500s.

And that was just a tiny sample of other glaring goofs I found.

We don't do RPF here. Just letting you know. (nm) by Scapegrace on 2021-04-17 11:50:40 UTC Reply

And that infamous AO3-glitching fic is also a band-crossover.

Precedent doesn't mean it was a good idea. by Neshomeh on 2021-04-17 17:45:32 UTC Reply

Yes, missions to some band fics were done in the past. However, since then, we decided as a community that if it's creepy for fanfic writers to presume to know the inner character and private lives of real people, it's creepy for us to do it, too—especially since we'd be presuming to know better than others about people we don't actually know. Hence, no more RPF missions.

That doesn't mean we can't touch any fic that so much as mentions a real person, and it's different when the person in question is a historical figure rather than a living person, but the point is always to exercise discretion and good taste. This sets our works apart from those we criticize.

Have now updated the wiki to reflect this. by Neshomeh on 2021-04-17 20:09:09 UTC Reply

Specifically, the Mission-Writing Guide § What Kind of Things Can I PPC? and the Real Person Fic pages. I guess it hadn't come up often enough to bother before, IDK.

If there's anywhere else that needs an update or correction, please let me know!

Yeah, what Nesh said. by Scapegrace on 2021-04-17 19:37:57 UTC Reply

RPF is creepy. It doesn't magically stop being creepy just because we're the ones doing it.

That fic is primarily set in fictional continua. by Lily Winterwood on 2021-04-17 15:35:15 UTC Reply

The author decided to tack on an RPF element later on out of spite. The mission does not plan to touch on the RPF element except to send the affected people back to World One.

If there is missioned RPF on the wiki I haven't seen it. But as of present, we don't mission RPF. Period.
