::Also note that the Adama Glare page is a [[silly]] page, a rarely used feature on BSGWiki.--[[User:RUSnooky|RUSnooky]] 10:29, 16 July 2007 (CDT) | :::::Well, one could argue that there is a silly page inflation, but it's not the same as fan fiction. Those pages generally poke fun at episodes, characters or events directly seen in the show. Some are articles about funny behind the scenes material. Two of the articles are official gag-reel related. One is about the R&D TV clips at the end of the episodes. They aren't ''completely'' made up and pertain more directly towards the onscreen content than fan fiction. That's not meant as a slight against fan fiction, but BSWiki is dedicated to documenting the official material. The silly pages are already stretching that a bit, but opening the gates to fan fiction any further would probably create a precedent for anyone who wants to advertise and post fan material here. This way we have a clear line on what can be written here and what not. Of course I understand that you might reach more readers by being posted here, but there are other places for that. As said, a link ''might'' be doable, but better get some more admin opinions on that. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:40, 16 July 2007 (CDT) | ||

As for the relationship analysis, I have no problem with analyzing character interactions, since character development is key to BSG (including the old one, though it never got as deep as it really could've been). With that said, I'd like to see what you have in mind. Do keep in mind though the analysis needs to be based on what we've seen and heard, appropriately cited, etc. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 20:32, 16 July 2007 (CDT) | ||
