Community Rules and Regulations
General Guidelines
[assistance=Story approval]Due to the amount of non-standard fanfictions in the Other Writing forum, I've decided to close any fanfictions that fail to meet the standards of a decent story. An author who fails to meet the standards will be advised to improve and if s/he does not improve or at least show an effort of improvement, the thread will be closed.[/assistance]
- Hentai is not allowedHentai content of any kind (yaoi or any sort of lemon of that nature) is not allowed. Let's keep it clean here, guys, not all of us are 20+ years of age. XD
- NO SHORT REVIEWS
Self-explanatory, please avoid posting if you're not going to give an adequate review of a write. While it is good to express your liking towards a certain fan-fiction, you are required to do it adding what you think are the good things and the flaws about it. You always help with a proper review, instead of merely saying 'I liked it', which could be expressed via PM or even IM rather than doing it here.
- Provide ratings!
Try to provide a rating for your fan-fictions. For fics that contain more violence and/or sexual content, please be sure to notify members in the title as well as the first post of the fan-fiction. [/agelimit] tags are often useful.
- What belongs in OW
If the fan fiction is Pokémon related, it obviously doesn't belong here, it belongs to the Pokémon Fan-Fiction forum. Please be sure your thread actually belongs in this forum before posting it.
- C+C
No putting down others' fan-fictions. Constructive criticism only!
- Double posting
Double posting is allowed for fan-fictions ONLY (you can't always rely on others to reply to post a new chapter). However, this is only for the thread creator; don't go nuts and double post here if you're only providing advice, etc.
- Thread revival
Revival of old threads is allowed, because of them being fan-fictions. Nevertheless, this right is only reserved for the thread creator/story author.
