Any image that is a form of the original that is not official falls under "fan art." Since Munkapedia does not allow fanfiction, fan art must be closely reviewed. Unlike text fanfiction, which is allowed on blogs, images that are considered to be fanfiction will be deleted regardless of where they are on the wiki. Those images that are allowed can only be posted on a user page or blog. Any picture not on one of these types of pages or placed on a main page will be deleted.
