Stories / Fan Fiction Information Lounge [V.1.0]

Welcome to the Stories / Fan Fiction Information Lounge! Here the Rules of the forum are displayed with Guidelines and FAQs. Hopefully, this will provide you with all the information you need to begin displaying your work.

Should you have any further questions or a problem you should contact the Forum Moderator, a Global Moderator, or an Administrators.

Last Updated: N/A

Threads::

Each story should have it's own thread - this way stories do not get intermixed and confuse the reader. The thread should be titled with the title of the story. However, please do not make a thread's title too long.

If you have a collection of short stories you wish to post, please post them all in one thread with each short story to a post. Place [Short Stories] somewhere within the title so that readers know it is a collection of short stories being displayed within the thread.

Post Length::

Each post should contain at least 7 lines of writing or 10 full length sentences. Double posting in this forum is permitted but only within your own thread. It is preferred that you only double post if there has been 6 hours between your first post and the second post unless you wish to post each chapter in a separate post.

Content::

The content of your story, at this time, should not go above PG-13. If the content of your story is not 'Everyone' rated please put [PG-13] somewhere within the title of your story to warn younger members.

Off-Topic/Chatting::

If you wish to discuss something that is not related to the novel/story you are replying to you should take it to either [General Writing Discussion], [General Discussion] or PM. If a member is posting off-topic messages in your thread, kindly re-direct them to one of the above threads and report their message for deletion. If they continue, report their posts and/or notify a moderator.

Bumping::

Please do not bump up old threads without a good reason. If you wish to comment on an old novel/story, feel free. If you, as the author, wish to revive a novel/story thread you haven't worked on in a while to work on it once more, feel free. Otherwise, do not post in an old thread.

Copyright::

If you notice that your story has been copied and posted elsewhere on the internet without your permission, please notify the administrator at once.

Anyone caught copying another member's work, will be banned permanently. This includes, re-writing another members idea/work. If more than one piece of work is very similar but by two different members, both parties will be contacted before, if any, action is taken.

I reserve the right to change, update, add, or remove any rule as I see fit.

Thread Creation::

In the first post, it may help readers if you give a little information about your story through the means of a Character List, Statistics List, and an Author's Note - a few words from you about how or why the story came to be. It may also be helpful, after posting many chapters and recieving many comments, to provide an index in the first post so that readers may find the chapters easily.

Feel free to use the following layout::

Code:

[b][u]Author's Notes[/u][/b]

[b][u]Main Characters[/u][/b]

[b][u]Statistics[/u][/b]
