Fan Fiction Writer Guide and Rules
No Plagiarism
*This cannot be stressed enough. If you didn’t write it, don’t post it as your own. There will be a zero policy for plagiarism. If a fic is deemed plagiarized, the fic will be deleted and the poster will be banned from the site.
No use of "Real" People
*No fan fic will contain characters of "real" people be it actors, actresses, authors, or even board posters. Fictional characters only.
No use of Descriptive Violence
*No fan fic will contain any description of the actual act of Rape, Child Abuse, or incest. You can say that a character was raped, abused as a child or was a victim of incest, but ABOSULUTELY NO DESCRIPTIVE MATTER. THIS WILL RESULT IN BEING BANNED FROM THE BOARD.
ALL FICTION MUST BE RATED!
The initial story is the only time a rating is needed. Please, if a fic starts out at a K level but you’re going to include MA chapters, just rate it as such at the beginning. But as a writer I understand how sometimes stories take on a life of their own. So if a new rating is needed, please mark that chapter as such as the Archives will need to be updated. If a fic is not rated, you will be contacted by a staff member. If you fail to respond in 3 days (72 hours), the fic will be assigned a MA rating.
Please rate fics as:
K / G (5+)--Free of any coarse language, violence, or adult themes.
K+ / PG (9+)--May contain minor action violence without serious injury, mild language, NO adult themes.
T / PG13 (13+)--May have some mild violence, minor coarse language, and minor suggestive adult themes.
M / R (16+)--Possible strong but non-explicit adult themes, references to violence, and strong coarse language.
Last, but certainly not least, is a generic Legal Disclaimer you should importantly add to your Fan Fictions, or your Fan Fiction Archives.
Without Prejudice. The names of all characters contained here-in are the property of Name_Of_Copyright_Holder. No Infringments of these copyrights are intended, and are used here without permission.
If you have original characters in your Fan Fiction, make sure you add that into your Disclaimer.
Note: The presence of Original Characters (in your Fan Fiction) will dampen any law suit made against you for your use of the show/book/movie characters in your Fan Fiction.
