*** FAN FICTION RULES ***
(1) You may post fanfic, fanfic challenges/ideas (if you don't like to write but want to see a certain story written), poems, songfics, comments about fanfic, round robins, and other fanfic related things.
(a) Post all fanfic in the appropriate fanfic section on the board aka Terminator fanfic in the Terminator and Sarah Connor Fan Fiction sub-forums.
(b) All fanfics should be rated G to PG-13 or YOU MUST POST THEM IN THE ADULT SECTION.
(c) SLASH IS ALLOWED. That means that you may come across stories here that have same-sex romantic relationships between characters. Anyone caught flaming (insulting) the author, people who enjoy such stories, or homosexuality in general will be warned and possibly banned.
(d) All characters in your story must be strictly fictional. Because the actors and production team of the show may stumble upon this board, for legal purposes we do not allow RPF (real-person fic) of ANY kind to be posted on this board. This includes inserting yourself, a real person, into the story.
(e)The following subjects are disallowed outright here on The Sarah Connor Chronicles Fan Forums in ALL FORUMS:
* incest - sexual situations between family members
* "chan" or pedophilia - sexual situations between adults and minors
* pedo-erotica - sexual situations between characters under the age of 16, even if they are both consensual. This is still ILLEGAL to read in many countries, including Australia.
* bestiality - sexual situations between humanoids and non-humanoids (this is in reference to animals/humans - not necessarily humanoid aliens/ terminators.)
* Any necrophilia related stories.
(2) Be nice to each other. That means constructive criticism only. Criticize the work, not the author. Also keep in mind that there are different writing styles and levels here, as well as people who may not speak English as a first language. You are not required to be Shakespeare to post your work here.
(3) By posting fanfic here, you are saying that the fanfic (unless clearly noted) is WRITTEN BY YOU. If you are posting someone else's work you MUST have permission from the writer, and it must be noted in the body or subject line of the post. PLAGIARISTS WILL BE BANNED WITHOUT WARNING.
(4)All stories should include as the first part of their first post the following template:
Title/Link:
Author:
Characters: (if any)
Rating:
Timeline:
Story Type: (Example
Spoilers (when applicable):
Short summary:
(5)The subject of each thread should AT LEAST include "Story Title (Rating)". It can include more details like "Story Title (Rating, angst, drama, crossover)" but the title and the rating should be first to make it easier for people to find your stories.
(6)All stories MUST be rated in the template and in the subject line of the post.
(7)All ratings must be appropriate to the story. We follow the MPAA guidelines for rating stories. If you're not sure how to rate your story, check out these guidelines. There are gray areas, but any story found to be rated grossly inappropriately (example: rating it G when it's hardcore porn) will be *removed* and the user will be banned outright.
(8)All R and NC-17 fics must go in the Adult section, regardless of pairing or genre.
(9)You can post either the actual text of the story, or a link to another site where your story is linked. There is one exception illustrated below.
(10)Do NOT link to a story on another message board. We'll allow links to any static archive or people's personal sites.
Check with us first if you're not sure. It bears repeating: YOU MAY NOT LINK TO A STORY POSTED ON ANOTHER MESSAGE BOARD.
SOME SUGGESTIONS:
(1) If you want feedback, let the readers know what you want, ie grammar help, characterization, dialogue, etc. If you just want comments, say that too.
(2) Run your fanfic through spell check.
(3) Write your fanfic offline in a word-processing application. Save it. Copy the entire text (control + A). Open up a "New Message." Title in the Subject line. Control + V (Paste) in the Comment field.
(4) If you are posting your story in installments, please post all your chapters to the same thread so latecomers don't have to hunt all over these boards for the earlier sections. There is a Modify function if you want to post the entire fic at the top of the thread as well.
Finally - please do not ASK/PLEAD/or BEG to become a MODERATOR for this site. If we feel the need arises for adding another member to our staff we will make that decision on our own. The best Mods are those who do not ask or campaign for the job.
Thank you!
