Guidelines and Rules
1.) The title of your thread should be the same as the title of your fic.
2.) Here’s what you should include before your story(preferably in title):
-Rating(please do this in title)
-Fandom(do this in title)
-Main pairing
-Other Pairings
-if it’s AU
3.) For ratings, use the standard film rating system as set by the MPAA (G, PG, PG-13, & R). Descriptions of each rating will be listed below in a spoiler tag.
You probably don't need to read this, cause, common sense, y'know. But in case you don't know here, you go -
4.) Make sure to rate your fics accordingly. NC-17 material such as explicit violent or sexual acts may not be posted on this site (there's gonna be people that aren't that mature on this site.) If a portion of your fic contains NC-17 material, simply exclude that portion from your post on this site. If the entire fic is posted on a site that allows NC-17 content such as AdultFanfiction.net, you may leave a link in your update if readers wish to read the full version. (there are some censors are the forums, so be aware of those.)
5.) The first post in that thread should contain the first chapter of the story (you can post multiple times if you want all your chapters to be in a row so you don’t need to index. Probably still a good idea to use an index. For the lazy peeps who don’t wanna scroll.) or the whole story itself if it's a oneshot.
6.)a.) Do not create separate threads for separate chapters of a fanfic. Common sense, y’know. Keep the forum nice and organized.~
b.) Similarly, if you will be writing drabbles, make only one thread devoted solely to your drabble collection. But, it’d be no problem if you don’t.
7.) All discussion about fanfiction should be held in the Fanfiction Discussion board. If you are in need of advice, please head over to the Fanfiction Advice Thread, or to the Reviewing Tips thread if you'd like some advice on reviewing as well.
8.) Make sure your fanfic is grammatically and stylistically on point. The occasional typos are no big deal. Try to split up the walls of text. Like, if your entire fanfic is mashed into one paragraph, has no punctuation, and is filled with spelling and grammar mistakes, someone will try to help you fix it for the sake of the readers.
9.) One of the few rules. Do not post work that is not your own.
10.). Be kind to all who post here, especially the authors whose fics you are commenting on .Do not leave any flame reviews on anyone's story. Do not constantly badger the author for updates. Do not in any way behave rudely to your fellow peeps. Remember to be mature and respectful.
11.) All other standard forums rules apply.

You probably don't need to read this, cause, common sense, y'know. But in case you don't know here, you go -
G — General Audiences. All Ages Admitted. A G-rated motion picture contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex, violence or other matters that, in the view of the Rating Board, would offend parents whose younger children view the motion picture. The G rating is not a "certificate of approval," nor does it signify a "children’s" motion picture. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation but they are common everyday expressions. No stronger words are present in G-rated motion pictures. Depictions of violence are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the motion picture.
PG — Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children. A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There is no drug use content in a PG-rated motion picture.
PG-13 — Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
R — Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian. An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.
NC-17** — No One 17 and Under Admitted. An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean "obscene" or "pornographic" in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children
PG — Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children. A PG-rated motion picture should be investigated by parents before they let their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates, in the view of the Rating Board, that parents may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated motion pictures may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity and some depictions of violence or brief nudity.
