Is there a Vivziepop fandom? In the past we've deleted categories named for famous directors because although their works were popular with film geeks, there wasn't really a fanworks fandom focused on their oeuvre as a whole. So for example we have Category:Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, but we don't have a category for John Waters. If fans are into all of Vivziepop's works, that's fine. I ask because I wasn't sure what the intent of the category was--we don't create categories for individual people unless it's a fandom category.--aethel (talk) 04:39, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, it made sense to me to make a Vivziepop category as her two current projects, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, are separate works, but share the same universe, and therefore have crossover lore (half of all Helluva fanfiction is currently Hazbin crossovers as well). Not only do we have a large percentage of fans that are into both series, but we also have the possibility that future sub-pages (for fan events, significant fan works, or what-have-you) are likely to also apply to both works.

OK thanks! I updated the category hierarchy.--aethel (talk) 05:27, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Looking at this category further, I think this category should be moved to Category:Hazbin Hotel. Helluva Boss is a spinoff of Hazbin Hotel, and it's still confusing having a category named after the creator. Pinky G Rocket (talk) 19:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Maybe call it "Hazbinverse" in line with Buffyverse then? Pengisan (talk) 06:41, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
No, Hazbin Hotel is fine. Buffyverse is common fan terminology used outside Fanlore, while I haven't encountered Hazbinverse. Creating new terminology would likely confuse both fans and non-fans. Pinky G Rocket (talk) 13:56, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
+1 to Pinky's proposal, I was looking for the Vivziepop page in the Hazbin & Helluva Boss categories and I got really confused when I couldn't find it. Is Vivziepop "fandom" a thing outside of these two shows?? If not then I'd really prefer putting the Vivziepop page in both show categories, and getting rid of this creator-named-category. -- Quaelegit (talk) 04:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
