 * Comment: The term is used, but not so widely that it's turned into coverage of the term itself. For example, this link goes to an article where they're talking about writing Harry Potter songfic, which isn't entirely what we need here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:09, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Most of them are like this where it's briefly mentioned, although this is good. Maybe this can be merged into fanfiction, since it seems to be almost exclusively (if not completely so) used in relation to fanfiction. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:10, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like it's mentioned in this Routledge book, but the applicable portion is completely unavailable to where I can even get an idea of how it's used.

 * Comment. I've re-written the content here and already merged it into the main article for fanfiction, where there's actually a section for the various genres of fanfic. This has some coverage in academic sources and maybe we could argue that it could have its own page due to the somewhat light coverage in the academic texts I've cited, but I'm concerned that it's not so heavy that it'd really make a ton of sense for it to have its own article. Most of the time when it's cited in a text it's as a passing mention in relation to fanfic as a whole. I'm leaning towards endorsing a redirect to Fan_fiction, where I've merged the content.

 * Redirect per above. The coverage here is just too light for me to really say that there's been enough in-depth coverage to warrant an article separate from the main fanfic genre section. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:47, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect at best, nothing particularly better to suggest its own separate article. SwisterTwister   talk  01:49, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
