Ah, Fan fiction... What can I say about Fan fiction? Its a great escape when done properly, and perfect for those oh-so-long periods between books. So, for those of Du 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 Du 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 Suchen out Artikel to find the specific chapter Du are looking for. Von 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 Du out of a story Mehr than trying to understand what the Autor is saying. If Du would like someone to review your piece for Du to make sure it is virtually mistake free, oder Du just want someone to let Du 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 kanone characters far away from here, unless they are original characters. The only series' that should be included in your Heroes of Olympus fanfics are PJO and HoO. If Du want to write crossovers, please visit a different spot oder 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 gepostet they will be reported. Du 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 oder bored. If Du don't plan on finishing your story, then don't Veröffentlichen it.

5.Please put a rating on your story. We never know who is Lesen our stories. We wouldn't want a little kid Lesen 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, oder 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 gegeben below. (This does not pertain to short stories, please see the form below the first one.)

Title: [Your Titel Here]

Rating: [Rate your Fan fic. here]

Type: [Please put what genre Du think your story falls into, Du 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 Beschreibung of your story here, Du 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 oder 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 Kommentar on your story. If Du Kommentar on a story, please be nice, and if Du insist on criticism make it constructive. If Du don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all! Violators will be reported!

8.Let us know when Du Veröffentlichen a story oder a chapter! Go to the Wand 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 oder anything, one message will do it.

9.HAVE FUN! Your story is just that, yours. The whole point of Fan fic (in my opinion) is to have fun and get all those crazy thoughts out of your head. Don't let anyone push Du around. Du do not have to accept requests, Du 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 Du anything different, Berichten them oder let me know.


Ratings


Although nothing makes an Autor feel greater than having someone tell them what they like about a story, they still want to know how well the story was received Von everybody. That's where ratings come in. Du know how to rate an article, but when Du 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 Du liked a piece. So, Du 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 Du like a chapter in a Fan fic Du 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 Du want to make an Autor feel especially happy, give them a prop. Use the Kommentar prop, and let the Autor know what Du like!

These rules are here to make our Lesen adventures fun, safe, and easy. I'm not trying to be mean, so please don't hurt me. If Du have any complaints oder Du think I missed something send me a PM oder post it in the comments. Happy fic'ing. Go. Read. Enjoy.
