A topic I've been discussing about lately is Quality Control. As you read in the title, this will mainly discuss the topic of lengths in Fanon fights.

A typical dealbreaker when it comes to a fight is when it may have many words, but is short-lived, or is painstakingly short off the bat. This also coincides with the Hall of Records, which months ago Para added a Quality Control rule that fights that enter must be at least 1,000 words to be submitted. This issue, while not as apparent as it may seem, is something that can make something that has loads of potential into something that is, admittedly, bleak and dry.

While discussing with moderators and users, some believe we should enforce harder Quality Control on the lengths of Fanon fights. After consideration, this is what my final proposal was: Fanon DEATH BATTLEs, if they are to stay up on the wiki, must contain at least 500 words in their fight section. A Pre-Fight does count within these range of words. Now this was made not only to induce quality control, but also to bring out just the littlest bit of creativity within writers. I am aware that some may be struggling in this kind of area, word count that is, and that's okay. If this is passed, I would be glad to help give out tips on how to increase your word count.

"But Ari, will this affect the HoR minimum count?"

I'm... not sure. That would be up to debate against Para, since he's the one who really controls it. However, I am rooting that the new change, if it passes of course, would eradicate the restriction since it is already being handled if the rule was put in place.

"But Ari, what if my fight didn't have 500+ words in older fights?"

Don't worry about those, they will remain untouched. However, I would advise you to try harder to obtain that limit if you are still struggling to reach that area, such with the aforementioned tips I would provide to those in need of them.

tl;dr Do you think that a rule should be put in place that requires all Fanon fights, from the day of the rule set in stone and beyond, to have a minimum word count of 500 for their DEATH BATTLEs?

If you have an objection, a question, or a change you think should occur to this proposition, please leave a comment concerning your thoughts.
