Writing Forum Rules
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2025 8:33 am
Aside from the Global Forum Rules, we also expect you to follow the below rules:
Mark Things 18+
If your work has mature content or themes, such as horror or graphic sex or violence, make sure to add 18+ to your title. That way people will know not to click on your topic if they aren't feeling up for it. Similarly you need to add the appropriate content/trigger warnings in your opening post, so as to avoid any nasty surprises later. If you, later on in the story, decide to add mature content or themes, you can always edit your first post to warn your readers about it.
No Unsollicited Concrit!
Unless someone is specifically asking for constructive criticism, do not offer them feedback on their writing, and if you can't say something nice about whatever they have written, don't say anything and move on.
Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink Is Okay
If something someone is writing about isn't your thing, move on. Don't go into their space talking about how they might be this or that because they chose to write something, or express how much you hate something, just move on, it's really that easy.
Ship & Let Ship
Similarly to the YKINMKBYKIO thing, move on when something isn't your ship. Don't bother others with your dislike, you'll be wasting everyone's time and making not just yourself but others unhappy too. Move on.
