Fanfiction Rules

[Mitsuba Sato]

As much as I believe that freedom of Expression is a great thing there are some reasonable limits or rules if you will. Rules I plan to uphold without exception so without further ado, here are a few simple rules to remember when posting in the Neji Fan Guild.

1. Rating Chart

I love fiction (both writing and reading it) and I hope to see some really great pieces of work posted here but please remember to:

Make it as tasteful as possible and ALWAYS post it in a thread clearly labeled as either:

MA = PWP Lemons, Plot Lemons, Non-Con (But I hope to see none of this) Continuous swearing (on par with Inuyasha-san's)

M = Adult situations such as detailed limes, violent death or dark fics.

T = Limes and lemons written with only vague details (I would perfer death fics and dark fics to be placed under T also)

PG13 = Borderline... vulagar language or implied lemon

PG = Mild to no warning required (eg. rated just to be safe)

G = No warning at all

**********

Here a short key if any of my shorthand confused you:

Lime = "Tame" Sex scene (eg. petting or making out decribed in great detail)

Lemon = "Detailed" Sex scene (eg. Sex described in full embarrassly clear detail)

Non-Con = Non consentual Sex (eg. rape, plain and simple... I REALLY don't want to see this... it can be mentioned for plot or character development but I really don't like it.)

Death Fics = This is simple... Neji or a main canon character dies. (Kami Forbid! crying )

Dark Fics = Are just fictions with a dark feel to them (Commonly angsty and often turn into Death Fics)

2. Yaoi Policy

I personally don't mind it... I don't really like it but I don't hate it either. All Yaoi stuff goes in the Yaoiholics Anonymous subforum. Anyone posting it here will be warned once before I boot them out. Don't like it sorry thems the breaks ya'll.

3. Feedback Guidelines

It is extremely helpful to use this opportunity to comment on an aspect of the story that can be improved. A well rounded critique is often the most rewarding tool for the writer.

4. Original Characters

I use them all the time and I don't mind others doing so but I will state a few rules for using them in Fanfictions (the same rule apply to roleplaying too) Please post your original character's profile in the Profiles thread before using them in a fiction.
