Lore is not fanfiction, fanfiction is not lore. Use #fanfiction
Friendly reminder that a while ago people were posting about how fanfiction writers were not supposed to be here. It isn't lore. The compromise was for the most part honored that fanfiction writers would use the tag #fanfiction to show it isn't lore.
Now the entire front page doesn't have a single use of it. Friendly reminder that people leave when lore gets overrun with people not following stuff like that and eventually down the road? When a group loses enough people to other tags? Bungie replaces that tag on the All Topics tab.
So this is just a simple ask: Fanfiction writers, could you please keep using the fanfiction tag? Thanks.

I’m just glad we have such a creative community. When you think of it, it feels like Bungie really wanted their players to make up their own story. They left a million different ways for a guardian to be born, so many loopholes to thread your story through without breaking the “real” lore. Just look at how many origin stories a guardian could have. An Exo could’ve been left to rust in an abandoned Braytech or Ishtar facility on Europa or Venus and be found in the Dark Ages. A Human could’ve been killed on Earth during the Collapse and resurrected during the Battle of Six Fronts. That said, use the tag.
