Deadliest Fiction Wiki:Creating a Battle

Creating a Battle Battles on the Deadliest Fiction wiki are open to be created by any user. However battles must adhere to the Battle Policy. Battles must also be written in blog format to allow user to vote on the outcome and to prevent the wiki from being cluttered with all the battles as pages. The outcome of the battle is decided by the voters. NOTICE: All battles created as a page will be deleted after a period of 2 days. The author is allotted that time to move the information to a blog so the page can be removed.
