I think it's a good idea to allow canon-focused Pact content, since we have the no-OC rule. There's no hub to go for good Pale content, and I'd go as far to allow Ben and Deedee fic (not sure how much there is to expand upon in Pate). My comparison here would be the TwiSpiteFic LiveJournal, which also allowed spitefics for other antifeminist fiction in the community which spawned the LJ because there was a lot of overlap in terms of writers and themes. With regards to the tag question, I also like the genre tags on that journal in addition to the ones already proposed in the BHTN.
I would strongly argue against AI-generated content, written or visual. It's low-effort, far too easy to overwhelm human-written work, and unlikely to be enjoyable to read (meta will be overly-broad and non-descriptive since Pale wasn't in the training data [actually, I have an exception: if someone pastes all 3 million words into ChatGPT they can use that to write meta], and fic will be simply generating The Most Likely Fic About A Coming Of Age Fantasy with the character names pasted in). As for AI-generated art, this is secondary to the question of whether art should be allowed at all, but it strikes me as lazy and devaluing of the efforts of fan-artists.
Organization-wise, I'm in favor of possibly two open threads (or at least two major comment chains under each thread): Pale Stuff and Everything Else. Maybe three: Canon Pale Stuff, Fic-Writing Pale Stuff, and Everything Else.
