Welcome to the overwatch-fans wiki!
The domain that we have chosen is game. The website that we will produce revolves around the video game, Overwatch. More specifically, it is a website where Overwatch enthusiasts can view and upload fanart and fanfiction based on Overwatch. Fanart is artwork created by fans of a work of fiction (game, movie, show, etc) and is not affiliated with the official game company. The same goes for fanfiction, but instead of artwork, it is writing. The website will contain 3 main sections - Fanart, Fanfiction, and Trivia. The Trivia section gives general information/fun facts about the heroes in Overwatch. A user must create an account in order to post and comment. Non-registered users can only view the content. All registered users are able to post on Fanart and Fanfiction but only users with the Editor privilege can post and edit on the Trivia section. Editor privilege can be obtained by the registered user by contacting the admins via email provided on the website’s Contact Us section. The Fanart, Fanfiction and Trivia posts can be categorized by what Overwatch hero it is based on, for example - Tracer, Genji, Widowmaker. Fanfiction posts can also be categorized by genre.
