RULES:
Content Restriction. This applies to threads and fics whether they're linked or on Reddit.
- Mature and Explicit rated fics and posts must have the rating clearly stated. NSFW tags count as tagging.
- Stories must be fanfiction, not original fiction.
- No pedophilia. Defined as a child + adult relationship. All will be removed.
- Underage (teen + teen, teen + adult) fic must be linked with a clear warning, plaintext fic will be removed, discussions must have a clear warning.
- Extreme or encouraged violence/rape fic must be linked with a clear warning, plaintext fic will be removed, discussions must have a clear warning.
- Troll!fics. Not allowed as an expansion on Reddiquette’s definition of Trolling, will be removed.
Do:
Remember the human. You can disagree and still remain civil.
Only post fics to appropriate topics. Unsolicited links to fics are annoying to the community.
We have weekly threads for specific questions/tasks. See chart below.
Don't:
No Bashing. If a topic is not to your taste please remain civil when discussing it and use language that makes clear that a specific dislike is your opinion, not a fact. This applies to every post, but topics specifically protected by this rule are:
- Fics
- Fandoms
- Genres
- Tropes
- Characters
- Ships
- Kinks
- People (users, authors, readers, etc.)
No Negative Drama. This includes ship wars, crusades against groups of fans, and shaming anyone over liking anything whatsoever.
No Doxxing. If the information in a post can lead to finding a person IRL, it will be removed.
No Witch Hunting. Got a complaint or suspicion? Take it to the Mods.
No Trolling. Being intentionally provoking or cruel will not be tolerated.
No Illegal Activity. This includes posting fics accessible only by payment.
No Selling Goods or Services. Includes fics, editing services, links to Patreon and the like. Blanket, sub-wide ban of links.
SPOILERS for fandom releases are in effect for 30 days after official launch date.
Please use spoiler code in comments. When you type: >!Spoiler text goes here.!<
it shows up like this: Spoiler text goes here.
Post titles must be spoiler free.
All major releases will have a stickied Mod comment inside the Weekly Fic Showcase for fics with spoilers inside them.
