Fan Fiction Rules and Guidelines

Fan Fiction Rules and Guidelines



To make this an enjoyable place for all, The Fan Fiction Critics and Mods have some set Guidelines and Rules
So here they are...please make sure you read them before posting in this section.
This will save everyone a lot of time and heartache....

1- Run a spell check.
We know that a lot of the authors don't have English as their native language, a spell-check is necessary to keep the story readable exactly for that reason. Open your story in Word, hit F7. There is no excuse for a story with spelling errors in it.

2- Use proper punctuation. Please pay attention to your punctuation as it is a criteria for a good and readable story.

3- If you post a boysex story, please post it in the SLASH forum. That way those members that choose not to read these types of fics can make informed choices. And those who do read them can find them easily!

4- Plagiarism is the devil's work. We should all know what that means, DON'T STEAL! We will notice and you will be in trouble. Any member caught plagiarizing will be banned, and the story subsequently locked. If you have taken an idea from someone else’s story, please give credit to the author for inspiration - whether it be published or internet written.

5- Spam should be kept to a minimum. Spam within reason will most likely be ignored, however ongoing comments not related to stories will receive a warning, if it continues, the story will be locked without notice.

6- If you're going to criticize, please make it constructive criticism. Insulting or belittling of other people's work will not be tolerated. Please be courteous and polite.

7- When posting a story, please post it in the appropriate board/sub-board. We have a place for your General, Slash, and One-Shot fanfics.

8- Please follow the following format for posting your MCR General fan fiction:
*Title: Place the title of your fiction first.
*Rating: General
*Main Characters: Band Member/OFC/Alicia/Jamia/Lyn-Z
*Summary: If desired.
*Chapter Index:
Chapter One-Page One
Chapter Two-Page One
Chapter Three-Page Two
Etc...
*Story Text
Make your first post of the story solely for the information as stated above. Doing this leaves enough room (in other words character space) to do a full chapter index. This is not mandatory but helpful to make sure you don’t run out of space for the index.
Stories without this format will be warned once to conform to it. If the story is not fixed within 24 hours, it will be locked
