This would have been done sooner had I not been away for the last week. 
We've finally had a chance to sit down and discuss this as a whole and 
here is a listing of what genres are allowed under the new FFML banner:

Comics: DC, Marvel, independent publishers, hell, even Heavy Metal, etc. 
But not Archie comics (see below).

Sci-fi/Fantasy material (literary, television, movie). Yes, it includes 
Harry Potter. The only reason for considering excluding it was due to 
volume, not content. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Buffy, Xena, and 
like genres all permissible. Not things like, Desperate Housewives, 
Magnum PI, Titanic, etc.

Video Games: Really need some sort of sci-fi/anime/fantasy element. 
Final Fantasy has always been permitted. Resident Evil would qualify. 
Legend of Zelda, sure. Pac Man no. No to Frogger as well. Pong� my mind 
can�t grasp it, but even if it could be done, no.

Crossovers of non-permissible stuff and permitted things. The policy has 
always been as long as the permitted elements are more than token, it�s 
fine, which is why Harry Potter/Anime xovers were allowed. Writing a 
story where Ranma goes to Hawaii to learn detective work from Thomas 
Magnum: okay (City Hunter would make better sense, but, eh). Writing a 
story where Magnum says �Hi� to Ranma in an airport terminal in one 
scene and Ranma disappears from the fic while Magnum solves a case: not 
okay. Common sense obviously applies here.

For clarification, just ask. We�ll tell you yes or no. There�s always 
the possibility of something new being added as time goes on. Don�t be 
afraid.

It�ll be a work in progress, so expect there to be some rough edges that 
need smoothing. Maybe a lot. And there�s always the possibility that 
with new genres opening up, all new flamewars might crop up along with 
it, so do try to be on good behavior since we want the forum as open as 
possible and don�t want ADMIN oppression to be the norm. Again apply 
common sense.

There are a number of authors who have been quite open about not 
allowing fanfiction of their works, so those are banned. Included in 
this list are anything by:

� P.N. Elrod
� Raymond Feist
� Terry Goodkind
� Laurell K. Hamilton
� Robin Hobb
� Dennis L. McKiernan
� Robin McKinley
� Irene Radford
� Anne Rice
� Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb
� Archie comics
� Anne McCaffery
� Mercedes Lackey
� Marion Zimmer Bradley

DC and Marvel lemons are not allowed. This is being extended to any 
story using those characters, even if it�s a crossover and the lemon 
elements don�t involve the licensed characters. We�re just covering our 
backsides here.

The above list will be added to as other authors but the boot on 
fanficcing their works as well.

Remember, though, this will only work if people go through the hassle of 
C+Cing things, preferably publicly. Otherwise expansion of the list does 
no good. Like the man says, you�ll take out what you put in. Or 
something like that.
