• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

What criteria must a TRUE FANEDIT meet to be acceptable for FE:
1: a faneditor must have altered several scenes in a movie. The changes need to have a purpose.
2: the changes must be significant. The difference to the original has to be clearly spottable.
3: the changes need to be clearly explained in the FE info.
4: the staff of FE decides if something is accurate as TF or not.
5: since we are a website about fanedited movies, a TF must have a minimum length of 15 minutes.


This rule was created to be more safely when it comes to copyright issues. Studios see fanedits as fanfilm efforts, so our versions need to be as different from the original as possible.

If you spot a fanedit on FE that does not match the above criteria but is declared an TF, report it to a staff member please for further examination.

what we do not allow (change from October 22 2008):
1. fanedits that combine movies or TV episodes need to contain more and obvious changes than just a cut ending of the first and a cut beginning of the 2nd.
2. fanedits that don't change either: the atmosphere, the plot or the meaning of the movie.

changed rules.
We now want more detailed information about the changes and their meaning. Lately too many debates happened about significance or importance.
What we want is true alterations, new version, more fun, more excitement, better movies, different points of view.
