Are videogame fanfics allowed here? I was gonna do one on either Ace
Combat or Thousand Arm, but I wanted to make sure I could post them here.

The best answer I have for this is the one given by my fellow moderator,
John Biles, to someone who asked a similiar question of us privately (which
is, I note, the thing to do when you have a question about the rules of the
FFML--the ffml-admins@fanfic.com address exists so you can reach the
moderators without having to post to the entire mailing list):
"In general, we tend to allow things relating to the broader spectrum of
Japanese culture, such as things deriving from Japanese fighting games and
the like. Thus, things like Sonic, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, etc, and
the like are okay, while
things like Tolkien, White Wolf, Elric, General Hospital, etc, are not."
-Alan Harnum, FFML Moderation Team (Yes, it's the amazing, boomeranging,
"Can I post fanfic somewhat-related-to-but-not-necessarily-anime-or-manga?"
question. Time to reword some of the FAQ, I think...)
