Talk:Fic Commission

I see this is currently framed as an activity (correct), but I think the fannish term might be Fic Commission, so if we changed the page name we could add it to the glossary as well. When I google writing commissions I get a lot of nonfannish results, and it looks like even in the quotes on this page people are mostly preferring "fic commission".

Absolutely! That's my vote. --MPH (talk) 23:28, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Ah, I just setup a redirect for Fic Commissions > Writing Commissions before seeing this discussion. I agree that it'd be good to change the name to Fic Commissions - that's how I've always seen it - and unless there are any objections, I can do that this week. - Fandomgeographies (talk) 20:42, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Also Commissions redirects to Purchasing Fanworks but maybe it should be changed to a disambugation? - Hoopla (talk) 20:51, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

I renamed the page Fic Commission. I redirected "Commissions" to it. I put Purchasing Fanworks in the seealso. Feel free to tweak any of this! Plus, welcome to Fanlore, Hoopla. --MPH (talk) 14:25, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
