Right now I'm wondering about something unrelated to whether you will implement my stupid ideas. You can start crying in relief... now.
Seriously though: A big part of many game communities is the body of creative work surrounding it. Fanart, fan fiction, etc. etc. Some companies are fine with it, some actively encourage it and put the best stuff on their website, and some people would rather take legal action against it.
Where does PFO stand?
Example - let's suppose I post my fanfic exploring the possible romantic tensions between Pharasma and Groetus, or my sexy Rovagug-tan artwork. Are you going to be mad?

Let me prefix this by saying I am just a dude and totally not in a position of athority to answer your question.
I would imagine that when PFO goes live it will have it's own forums, and each server, if there are multiple servers, will have their own forums, and I would think different guilds and communities will have their own forums, ect....
I doubt anyone would be upset with you posting fan fiction or art work so long as it did not violate any sort of rules or regulations about nudity or sexual explicit content, etc...
I much rather read short stories about people's characters and the adventures they shared in the game, or read scouting reports from the wilds written up from an in character perspective then I would stories about the gods or setting NPC's. I think it would be a lot of fun to read community write ups about the war effort and what not, or a journal entry about how the Helm of Gorum was successfully taken from the Orcish Horde. Although I am wildly curious what Sexy Rovagug artwork would look like.

Remember that Goblinworks is merely licensing the setting from Paizo, so when it comes to that type of thing, it's Paizo's Community Use Policy that reigns. It will doubtless need a little bit of adjustment due to things introduced by the MMO, but I'm confident that any adjustments will continue in the current spirit.

Let me see if I can get a PG-rated version I could post to the board.
