| You've got to be lying if you say you don't like it at least a little bit. As a big reader/writer, I've decided to be Mother of this section. In order to make it easy to get around, I'm making a sort of key (which also helps with the over 10 character title business). - Title:
When you start a fic thread, make sure to add details beside the title, like the following example:
Lost [het, ch5, p7]
It could also say 'gen' or 'slash'. Het: Heterosexual (straight male/female) pairing. Gen: General, general fiction in which pairings are not the focus. Slash: Homosexual (same sex) pairing.
'Ch' indicates it being chaptered, though it could say SA/Standalone, if it's just a one post piece.
This means my example is a heterosexual fiction, with the last update being chapter 5 on page 7. Savvy? Simply edit the title according to your updates.
- First Post:
Here's also an example guide for your first post, so that first time readers can check up on the details.
Title: Story Title Rating: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17 Pairings: Shadows/OC (This section isn't necessary for general fictions) Genre: Story Genre/Type Summary: Brief summary. Don't give it all away! Disclaimer: You don't own Avenged, I know it's disappointing. Authors notes: Warnings, dedications, beta readers, etc
Here's a blank version for you.
Title: Rating: Pairings: Genre: Summary: Disclaimer: Authors notes:
- Rating System:
Fan fic generally uses the American rating system so I'm going with that.
G - General audiences (all ages permitted) PG - Parental guidance suggested (some material may not be suitable for children) PG-13 - Parents strongly cautioned (some material may be inappropriate for children under 13) R - Restricted (no one under 17 permitted without an accompanying parent or adult guardian) NC-17 - No one under 17 permitted
I'm also thinking of making a sub section for author threads or possibly audition threads. It just depends on the popularity of the section. It's your choice what you actually do inside the thread, some people like making index posts and such. I do request a decent level of grammar, because some of us actually want to read your fiction! I'll add to this if need be, any questions, ask here Edit by Cheri: If you have a story that doesn't fit into the two forum categories in here (Slash and Het) so for example you have a story with no pairings, just post it in the main section. You can still post threads without clicking the Het/Slash forums. | |

| If our stories are rated correctly, will profanity be allowed or censored? Thanks | |
