1. PLAGERISM- Plagerism is simply not allowed here. If anyone is caught plagerizing, they will be banned immediately, no warnings. However, if you wish to submit a published work, I ask that you put the Author's name, publish date, and where you got it from, at the top, before you put the poem into the submitted form.
2. Respect- Please respect everyone and their work. Alot of people put hard work into the writings that they submit and would really appreciate the respect it deserves.
3. Critiscism- Keep it constructive, and helpful. If you don't like a piece, then help them by offering suggestions, or ideas.
4. Submitted work- If you submit work, realize that you put it up for other people to judge and talk about. Not everyone is going to like your work all the time, so don't take the comments they leave to hard, just use it as a guide to gauge how the public will react, in the case that you plan on publishing it.
5. Story ideas- Please do not discuss story or play ideas you plan on publishing in this guild. There isn't much I can do to protect your idea, and I would hate to see you lose the idea to someone who took it as their own. Any threads that I think gives away too much of a story, I will move to a crew only forum until I can talk to the creator in length about it. If they still want it out there, I will move it back.

Please follow these rules. I will give two warnings before I ban someone for breaking rules 2, and 3. Rule 1 results in an immediate ban, and rule 5 has no other ruling than the procedure defined above. Thanks, and enjoy the guild.

I have a question. About the plagerism. What if we find a poem that we really liked, and wanted to share. Would we be able to post it, and tell who wrote it? Or will we still be banned?

That's a good question O.O. I think as long as you put a disclaimer and who wrote it down it should be alright. Its not plagiarism if you put down who the poem really belongs to. Of course the only one who can say for sure is Eviant.

It's not considered plagerizing razz But if you do so, please wait until I get a subforum for it. Then it's easier for people to decide what they want to read lol, because I like the idea of reading unpublished works. But yes, thanks for the question. (But you still have to put Author and the like. Check the rules again.)
