My instinctive reaction is no, but I also don't really want to say no, if that makes any sense? I think like the multi-media submission option it's at the very least something that should perhaps be discussed on a case by case basis or have some clear boundaries on it, for when someone queries how a submission is any different to someone just putting together a bunch of random stuff involving women. I think there's a transformative intention behind fanwork that makes it a smidgen easier to find a common thread, and also I guess with anything there's the question of when does including new options diminish the overall intent/impact of the wider project?

But then at the same time, women are awesome. I am loathe to say no to more women! So I guess I'm mostly undecided, and my personal opinion would probably depend on how the content was defined as allowable or otherwise.

One quick clarification though, would you allow people to mix original and fanwork focuses? Or would someone have to be doing all original/OFCs in canon verses or all canon women?
