Someone just submitted a bunch of anime and a manga in a supposed series called "Element Kumashii" to the anime and manga submission queues. These seem to be just someone's made up "anime" and "manga" that they would like to make, not real anime and manga. The only sources Google comes up with for them are a Wikia page (which is what is given as the source in the submissions) and the creator's Deviantart page. I was hoping someone could remove these titles from the queues and let the person who submitted them know that it isn't acceptable to submit your own made up anime/manga. I was thinking of just marking them as erroneous submissions in the queues, but I thought then it would be a while before anyone noticed them and this person might keep submitting more of them in the meantime.

Submissions removed; user warned.

(Sigh)

We've seen elaborate hoaxes before. I wonder what their points are; doing so would only drive people away from their projects. Rolling Eyes

Same person - they evidently haven't heeded the warning. They've even flagged one of their own submissions as a duplicate. have we reached the banning stage?

I already told him/her that fan fictions are not accepted, and this is the reply:

I only wish this website will approve anyone's made-up manga or anime if someone else will not remove any titles that we made. 'Mad'

I'm speechless. My time is better spend on more meaningful duties; one more such submission and he's gone.

They're female - she gives her name on the front page of her Wikia. (LGKMedia = Leila Katherine Ganjaei, 18, from New Jersey).

It's not even anime fanfiction - it's based on Star Wars and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

My impression is that it is not actually fan fiction, but that she is just comparing what she wants to make to Star Wars and Avatar: The Last Airbender. But regardless, it certainly isn't anime.

If someone was reposting a made-up anime they discovered on wikia and thought real, that's worth a warning. But purposefully submitting made-up anime like this one is doing, that's an instant ban.

I'm sorry that I did something wrong. I would like to think of it as my anime fanfiction. I barely mess things up. Sad

If you want to post fanfiction, go somewhere like fanfiction.net. Not an encyclopedia.

Fanfiction that is based on Star Wars and Airbender is not anime.
