Hi guys,
After an open vote and some discussion, we are now implementing the changes to the direct posting rule. Detailed guidelines are set out below.
I've changed the post in the rules thread about 'no direct posting', but thought it's probably a good idea to start a separate thread about this change so more posters can become aware of it. Please feel free to use this thread for questions and opinions. You might want to check out the
voting and discussion thread first, because some FAQs have already been asked and answered. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Directly posting fanfics
Fanfic authors are encouraged to post sections of their fics on this board, on the appropriate fandom thread or 'shipper thread.
Please remember, however, that due to technical considerations, we can only allow you to post excerpts up to 1000 words in length. If your story is significantly longer than 1000 words, please use direct posting as a 'teaser' or introduction to your fic, and provide a link to it in your post. If your fic is a short story, feel free to post it in its entirety, and don't fret if it's a little over 1000 words. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Please also remember that with direct posting:
- do not use expletives (they will be caught by Fan Forum's automatic filters anyway)
- do not post any fics with explicit sexual descriptions
- only post your own fics unless you have the author's written permission
Have fun posting! [img]smilies/glow.gif[/img]
