Hey All,

The Alliances are similar to the concept of Fantasy Fellowship and Time To Play,  It is a Wikia wide program where wikis can decide if they belong to Heroes, Sci-fi, or Fantasy wikis. When you choose an alliance (and you can choose more than one) you'll get that Alliance's badge on your mainpage. The badge will be updated with information from all about your Alliance. You'll see information about other wikis who have joined the same alliance as you. For example if there is a beta code giveaway happening on one of the Hero wikis, and you're in that alliance, you'll be notified via the Alliance badge on your mainpage that there is a beta code giveaway going on.

Wikis who join an Alliance will also be promoted in a couple of different ways. Your wiki will be added to the Alliance landing page, you'll be promoted on your topic's hub page, and you'll also be talked about on Wikia's Twitter and Facebook pages.

If you're having trouble choosing what Alliance you should join, remember that you can be in as many as you want, and the definitions are very broad. The Heroes United Alliance is for wikis who feel their topic is about a Hero or Heroes (think Marvel, Harry Potter, etc.). The Fantasy Alliance is for wikis who live in a fantasy world with dragons and magic or talking animals, etc. (Think Harry Potter, Warrior Cats, etc.  Sci-Fi folks are interested in space and science (Tardis, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc).
