where: section = Editorials, Fan Fiction, Other stuff title  = title of article

Authorship
An author is defined both as "the person who originates or gives existence to anything" and that authorship determines responsibility for what is created.

Although there is a wiki-wide policy not to sign articles in articles, authors will be allowed to add their name/signature within their contributions.

The "Don't sign articles" policy does not apply for two reasons:
 * The editorial/fiction is the contribution of a single author, or several authors.
 * Other users will be able contact the author(s) for future work.

Editorials

 * Must be an original article written by the author(s).
 * Try to include tips, strategies, techniques, analysis, opinions, and commentary.

Fan Fiction

 * Must be an original story written by the author(s).
 * Must be related to RuneScape.
 * Must not: contain adult material, hate- or violence-oriented themes; have insulting, obscene, degrading tone, or contain profanity.
