May I ask a question about the Fan Fiction rules? (Please feel free to move this post if need be)

Now, maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure I understand how a story can be fan FICTION if it follows the plot of the games exactly. Can someone clear this up for me?
Also, I thought very slight romance was allowed in VV fictions, simply because the tribe has to grow SOMEHOW. Help, please?
