I'm undecided. The Literature section would feel weird for stuff like Navy Seal Copypasta.

[up] I mean, yeah it does feel a little odd, but at the same time, it's basically just a piece of text of some Ax-Crazy lunatic, which is Lit enough for me.

Edit: [down] Yeah, pretty much.

Actual published literature includes enough terrible and nonsensical things, it's not a badge of honour to be there.

Edit: To clarify (if anyone wants to ask): so long as the works of William McGonagall would qualify to go in Literature, being short and infamously badly done poems, then it's clearly not as if there's much of a quality or length floor. If this means a couple of more verbose copypasta get into it, that's hardly out of place by current standards, without selectively imposing restrictions based entirely on publishing status.

Not really sure how long I want this crowner to run. Usually it's about 5 days? But I think for something this whole wiki-wide, 1 week since crowner creation should do.

So maybe we could call it around November 3 or 4.

Yeah, I think I'm good to call the crowner now.

All right everyone, Web Serial Novels and other web-based literature go in the media category Literature.

Glad to finally have this formalized.

In what media category should Web Serial Novels be sorted?

This is NOT for the namespace, which is Literature/. This is to vote for what folder/header name in a trope list to use.
