I will say no only because those factors are circumstantial and can influence a person's thinking. If both parties manage to supply me with RP's they're in, I will link them on the voting page, by fanfics are written by a single source, so that's a no. I'm going to pretty bluntly disagree with this. If a character learned something in a fanfic, they suddenly can't use it in a fight? How fair is that? Some people on this site write more fanfics than RPs, and declaring fanfics shouldn't be used is a HUGE "fuck you" to the person who worked hard to make the fic. Half of it is that it's unconditional. It's just "I'm not using any fanfic, any OC who has one can screw themselves.

The worst is that you're willing to allow RPs unconditionally, yet reject any use of fics unconditionally. What sense does that make? Yes, there's a slightly higher chance of any bullshit being noticed, but what if both people in the RP are playing their characters in an overpowered way? Suddenly it's not reported, but that RP still holds more ground than, Reginald forbid, a FANFICTION.

If you wanted to handle fic use properly, you'd check over any RP or Fic provided, and determine afterwards if it's legitimate for use in the Tourney, as I did with the OCBD. Not even TRYING to do something like that is selling people short, and likely to piss them off. But as I assume you're not going to budge on it, I'll have to add a part to her profile, describing how she actually fights, because people won't be willing to look in the fic, as the first round indicated. Considering people blatantly said Kiki just "goes at them" they obviously didn't see the part where she wouldn't swing at someone until specifically countering. If needed, you can check what I add against what's in the fic, because I'll be damned if my character is going to be that horribly represented again. I signed up for this to enjoy analysing other characters, and their feats, and having other people analyse Kiki's but all that's really happened so far is people ignoring half her content and link people to drug websites, telling me "She acts this way" despite her acting totally differently in the fic. So.... Yeah. I'm going to disagree with the barring of Fics from use.
