Rules for Fan-Ficton

I'll make this simple and sweet!!

RULES
1. No Spamming; spam is a post that brings absolutely nothing to the thread.

2. Do NOT flame, flaming is insulting the author. Saying a fic is bad by saying for example: because I don't like fic about Ash and Misty/May/etc being in love, this would be flaming the author.

3. DO rate your fanfiction in either the title or first post. By this i mean the content. Like in the movies, please mention wether it is G,PG,PG-13,18 or R. If its R then please first pm and show it to one of the admins so that we can check that its not too innapropriate

4. Though it is not compulsory, unless your story is very large, try to give it all in one post. It makes it look good

5. Post a poll so that people are able to rate your story

6. Do NOT insult or bash for any reason, not only does it show a lack of maturity but it’s bloody annoying.

7. Do NOT use similes instead of pokemon names in your fic, it has got to be one of the most annoying things, imaginable. I don want this: Hikari shouted,":rayquaza:! USE HYPERBEAM!!" There is however a loop hole. Eg: Hikari shouted, ":smallrayquaza:! USE HYPERBEAM!

8. Though we do allow humour fanfictions, it will not be tolerated if they exist purely to insult a race, religion or whatever, you might find it funny but in days like now we don’t need little morons running around encouraging through their own stupidity

9. Plagurism i.e. stealing someone elses idea will not be tolerated.

10. If you review a fanfic then please be professional. That is, dont just say that it sucks or something like that. I want proper reviews with the pros and cons

WOW!
Nice rules. I doubt that we will be having any so called R rated fanfics but there is always a first time.
Hmmm......... I think there should not be a loop hole in the smiley one. Posting the smilesys instead of the
pokemon names seems childish to me.
About the plagirism one. You should add that if the original writer is acknowleged then you can post it as HIS idea but your fanfic.
Like shiny gave me the idea for my Regis fanfic.
