Ah, Фан fiction... What can I say about Фан fiction? Its a great escape when done properly, and perfect for those oh-so-long periods between books. So, for those of Ты who write these great escapes, there are rules, just like the rest of the spot, that need to be followed. If you'll kindly read below we will go over these simple, common sense rules, and then Ты can get back to writing!
1.Chapter stories should go in the forum. Short stories (one chapter stories/one shots) go in the articles. It is annoying having to Поиск out Статьи to find the specific chapter Ты are looking for. By keeping chapter stories in a specific thread it is less confusing, less troubling, and a whole lot easier for people to navigate and find the chapters they are looking for.
2.Please use proper grammar/spelling. Nothing can bring Ты out of a story еще than trying to understand what the Автор is saying. If Ты would like someone to review your piece for Ты to make sure it is virtually mistake free, или Ты just want someone to let Ты know if it sounds good, send me a PM.
3.No crossovers! Sorry guys, but Edward Cullen and Zoey Redbird have their own series' and their own Fanpop spots, so please keep all non пушка characters far away from here, unless they are original characters. The only series' that should be included in your Герои of Olympus fanfics are PJO and HoO. If Ты want to write crossovers, please visit a different spot или site, Fanfiction.net is a good place for crossovers! Any Crossover fics that we find will be reported.
3.NO LEMONS! No one wants to read a story about nothing but doing the dirty, so please save your lemons for another site. If Lemons are Опубликовано they will be reported. Ты have been warned.
4.Do not abandon your stories. I look at stories like children, abandoning them is wrong, and it is annoying to get into a story and never get to finish it because someone got lazy или bored. If Ты don't plan on finishing your story, then don't Опубликовать it.
5.Please put a rating on your story. We never know who is Чтение our stories. We wouldn't want a little kid Чтение something we wouldn't want Grandma to see, would we? Please use the rating system below:
YC- suitable for kids age 5 and up (No violence, bad language, или adult themes.)
C-suitable for age 10 and up (Mild violence, no bad language and no adult themes.)
YA-suitable for age 13 and up (May contain violence, and some bad language)
T-suitable for 15 and up (May contain violence, bad language, and some adult themes)
M-suitable for 17 and up (May contain violence, bad language, and adult themes)
6.Please use an informational form. Although creativity cannot be contained and is sometimes sloppy, please use a proper form for the informational part of your story (the part that lets everyone know what your story is about and all that jazz.) Please use the form дана below. (This does not pertain to short stories, please see the form below the first one.)
Title: [Your Название Here]
Rating: [Rate your Фан fic. here]
Type: [Please put what genre Ты think your story falls into, Ты can use multiple genres.]
Characters: [Please put the central characters here. If one of them is of your own creation put OC]
Synopsis: [Put a brief Описание of your story here, Ты don't have to give away the ending, but let people know what they are getting into]
Disclaimer: [So we don't get in trouble here, please give R.R. (or whoever deserves it) credit]
A/N: [Put your author's notes here. They can pertain to the story или they can be dedications]
FOR SHORT STORIES (one shots)
Rating: [Please rate your story here]
Disclaimer: [Give credit where credit is due.]
A/N: [Put your Author's notes here.]
7.No bullying. This really pertains to people who Комментарий on your story. If Ты Комментарий on a story, please be nice, and if Ты insist on criticism make it constructive. If Ты don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all! Violators will be reported!
8.Let us know when Ты Опубликовать a story или a chapter! Go to the Стена and post a brief message to get the news out that your story is up! Don't be obnoxious about it though, don't spam или anything, one message will do it.
9.HAVE FUN! Your story is just that, yours. The whole point of Фан fic (in my opinion) is to have fun and get all those crazy thoughts out of your head. Don't let anyone push Ты around. Ты do not have to accept requests, Ты do not have a deadline for publishing, and there are certainly no limitations (other than the ones above) on your story. If someone is trying to tell Ты anything different, Сообщить them или let me know.
Ratings
Although nothing makes an Автор feel greater than having someone tell them what they like about a story, they still want to know how well the story was received by everybody. That's where ratings come in. Ты know how to rate an article, but when Ты post a chapter fic in the forum, there is no way to rate it. I've devised a system to let the authors of chapter fics know just how much Ты liked a piece. So, Ты know those emotes at the bottom of the reply form at the bottom of the page? Well, they are nifty little things. So my idea is that depending on how well Ты like a chapter in a Фан fic Ты choose an emote that is equated with numbers on a rating scale (1-10.) The Scale is as follows.
1-Angry (the angry face)This is the worst rating
2-Sad (Has a frown...not the crying face)
3-Hmmmm (has a half frown)
4-meh (no smile, but no frown...straight line)
5-monkey (It's a monkey...)
6-smile (The regular smiley face)
7-big smile (The face with the big ear to ear grin)
8-cool (The face with the sun glasses)
9-kiss (The face with the puckered up lips)
10-heart (Self explanatory) This is the best rating
If Ты want to make an Автор feel especially happy, give them a prop. Use the Комментарий prop, and let the Автор know what Ты like!
These rules are here to make our Чтение adventures fun, safe, and easy. I'm not trying to be mean, so please don't hurt me. If Ты have any complaints или Ты think I missed something send me a PM или post it in the comments. Happy fic'ing. Go. Read. Enjoy.
