Would there be any interest in also linking to fan films, fan art, filk songs and/or fan remixes of VG music? (I think we actually need the Fan Music Reccomendations in particular, because currently our Videogame Crowning Music Of Awesome pages have official music listed willy-nilly alongside fan remixes.)

Rather than renaming all the existing Fan Fic Recommendations pages, I'd suggest just renaming the index to Fan Work Recommendations, and making separate pages for each medium of fanwork.

Good idea?

Awesome idea. Maybe I'll finally be able to find some listenable filk.

Sounds like an idea. We've already got a few of thse on the existing fanfic recs pages, as I recall - Half Life's one, for instance.

I was thinking about this myself recently - a "Fan Works Recommendations" page or something similar. Anyway, I agree.  *

^^Are there really that few filk songs that we can fit all the recommendations, for every work ever, on a single page?

Well, they are about works. They could just go in with the other fan works related to the work on its Fan Fic Recs page.

Fair enough, I suppose. I just thought they might need to be split by medium because something like, say Star Wars, would inspire enough fan films and fan fiction for separate pages of recommendations.

But I guess it might be better to just stick other media on the current fan fic rec pages, and split them if they get too large.

Yeah, it does sounds like a "solve it if it happens" kind of thing.

So... rename it to "Fan Works Recs"? Because "Fan Fic" is a pretty specific type of work.
