I can only speak for the Fan Contributor Program, but we want to allow people to have a place for their editorial voice to be heard on a site that will bring their audience to them and allow them to flourish. The next big voices on the web are just waiting for their engine and we aim to do that. Additionally we're going to get the ones who really shine in front of the creators of the things they love, give them opportunities to build their brand. We may end up bringing some into the Wikia fold. You just never know, but it's a really fun way to communicate.
