Is it allowed to create Wattpad profiles if there are Crossovers between a book and a Wattpad book?

[ByArrow]

Creating profiles for books published on Wattpad is not allowed. However, if this book Crossovers with another printed book and the author confirms that the merger is official and valid, then is it allowed to create profiles for the published book on Wattpad?

Inclusion of Verses​

The setting should be entirely fictional in nature, with no true bearing over the real world, except for the specific case of the "Real World verse" which is limited to animals, weapons, and events. However, real-world people, including celebrities, should not be featured in the wiki. Additionally, any movie, comic or TV series that is primarily a re-telling of real events with occasional fictional additions is prohibited.

• Officially published works that have reached a high level of notability will be considered for inclusion within the VS Battles Wiki. The use of Wattpad and similar fan work sources is prohibited. However, self-published works will also be considered as long as they meet the aforementioned criteria of notability. Additionally, while official translations are preferred, fan translations that are of good and very reliable quality will also be accepted. For works that have not been officially translated, the use of original raw texts and associated translations is preferred, but it should be noted that for fully fan translated works like Visual Novels, Web Novels, etc., it may not be practical or feasible for participants to locate raw texts for the entire work and present them alongside the scan. In situations where the reliability of publicly available material is in question, the analysis of re-translations performed by members of the VSBW may be used as a means of evaluation. However, it should be noted that these translations may not necessarily be considered superior to official translations and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, I know that it is normally forbidden to create Wattpad profiles. But the book I'm talking about does a crossover with an officially published book, and this crossover affects both books significantly. And after this incident, this crossover is mentioned in both books. And a main character in the published book causes the story of the Wattpad book to begin, and both of these books are written by the same author. In such a case, I wonder whether the creation of profiles for the Wattpad book would be allowed.

Could you give more context?

There is an author and this author has both an officially published book series and a book published on Wattpad. And the two books are crossover. And this crossover is a big part of the main plot in the officially published book. This crossover is mentioned in the later chapters, and one of the main characters in the published book resurrects a character who died 100 years ago, according to the story, and the book on Wattpad tells the story of this character after his return from the dead. In this case, is it allowed or not to create a profile for a Wattpad book?

Sounds like a niche case thing. If nothing else it would be allowed on FC/OC.

But for the topic on hand, if the crossover story involves character's the author has no legal ownership over it can't be profiled.

Necroing but had the author republished the Wattpad story in a book which would grant him/her ownership over the story that he/she wrote then it would be allowed.

Again, if the story involves characters the author has no legal ownership over it can't be used. Otherwise it would be treated as anything else.

This author does seem to have legal ownership of the story, it's just that the story that he/she wrote was first published on Wattpad before he/she did the crossover thing that connects it with another book that he/she published.
