Just because they don't say it on a story's talk page doesn't mean they don't say it. I've heard people express dissatisfaction at this or that story name being taken, especially when the complaining user thought the circumstances of the taking were unfair. And just because all-star stories don't use new character pages doesn't make the case for placeholding a story title earlier, because it's the story title that's the issue. The F5/75% rule (for competition/noncomp stories respectively) is part of a broader policy that we don't allow placeholding names or titles for extended periods.

Sorry, Toad, I think this one's a nonstarter.
