The discussion about Tropes has raised the problem of how to deal with the multiple pages about consent issues/sexual assault: we've got Rapefic, Noncon and Dub-con, all with somewhat different content. Noncon in particular is defined entirely in relation to rapefic and dubcon, and all the history of the trope is on the rapefic page. I feel that none of the pages can be comprehensive when the content is spread out this way.

My preference would be to merge the pages into one [[Sexual Assault (Trope)]] or [[Consent Issues in Fanworks]] page or the like and redirect, but I suspect that will prove an Unpopular Fannish Opinion. Alternatively, how about an umbrella page with the main content, so that the terms can be usefully compared, leaving the three pages as brief glossary terms that link to the umbrella page?

Other suggestions?

I was looking at the X-Men page today - my first fandom! And I have so much to say about the X-Men!

That was pretty much my reaction. I did add a little bit of info; most of the "fannish activity" and all of "themes and trends" is mine. I feel horrible suggesting this since at few people obviously put a lot of work into the page, but more than half of it should go. I'd say most of the sections after 1.13 could be cut, due to the focus on *canon* rather than *fandom.*
