→Inclusion of Meta on the Archive: reword to make a little clearer, add inline links
'''Fannish vs Nonfannish'''
'''Fannish vs Nonfannish'''
The Archive is dedicated to fanworks in particular, and is not intended to be a repository of all creative works. However, there are a number of varieties of works produced by fans that do not fit comfortably into a narrow definition of fanfiction, fanart, vids, or other types of fanworks. Original works that are not based on a specific media source (canon) may also count as fanworks so long as they are fannish in nature. As such the line between fannish and nonfannish is recognized to be ambiguous. With the addition of meta to the realm of accepted works on the archive the ambiguity is expanded.

[[Meta]] or fannish nonfiction essays is explicitly allowed, which some fans feel blurs the line further.
