CommunityGuide

Here's a quick guide to getting along in our community.

• Pay attention to the Mods and Admins. If you get a warning, it's for your own good, likewise if you get asked to change the subject.
  • No spamming, no trolling. The Mods get the final say for what counts. Repeatedly posting something that didn't get a response or deliberately provoking others harms the community.
  • No personal attacks. Engage the idea, not the person.
  • Don't argue with the Mods.
  • If you aren't a Mod, don't try to do their job for them.
• Participate in the community. Talk in the forums, comment on the blogs, discuss the wiki pages. We want to get to know you.
  • Everyone is limited to one Writer account. You must use a valid, current email address with that account.
  • You can have as many Character accounts as you want, provided that they list your Writer Account and use the same, valid email address.
  • We welcome role-playing, but only in the In-Character? sections of the site. But remember that every Character needs to have an Out-Of-Character? Writer. We want both you and your characters to participate in our community.
• Voting and comments are encouraged.
  • Ratings should be an aesthetic judgement, not a personal attack. Respond to the work, not to the person.
• Contribute constructively to the site
  • You don't have to write: just having fans posting comments can make a writer happy.
  • In fact, don't be in such a rush to contribute that you forget to let us know who you are first.
  • Don't mess with other people's work. Follow the Writing Guidelines.
• Have fun!
