It is import ant to stress that I do have the right to approve all stories before they are posted to the site. After you have uploaded the story(s) I will review and approve it for the site.
Here are the Rules and guidelines:
o Rule Number 1: Respect.
o Any Fiction not included in the Restricted Fandoms or Banned Topic.
o No Real Person Fic. Make sure that you understand the difference between the actor and the character. There are exceptions, if there is a question about your fic's appropriateness, send it to me privately.
o No stories depicting underage sex. That's 18 here. ( however, if you feel that it is apart of the story please submit for review and you will be notified by e-mail if it is ok.)
o Please include ratings and disclaimers. Detailed guidelines follow. Mail me if you need help.
o Absolutely NO flaming for any reason *what so ever*. Violators will be banned on the sole discretion of the Web Mistress.
o Currently any fan fiction that contains characters from written works by Anne Rice or any of her pseudonyms is not allowed. They will be deleted. This is because Ms. Rice has involved her lawyers in banning all fan fiction containing her characters.
o Official Star Wars Web Sites - This is referring to any website provided by Lucusfilms or their affiliates. The last information that we had was that Lucusfilms retained the rights to any creative work placed on websites provided by them. Therefore, we cannot post any work that is currently or was previously placed on a website provided by Lucasfilms.
o People Bashing - We recognized that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, any opinion that expresses hatred or intolerance towards another human being for any reason will not be tolerated.
o Plagiarism - The act of stealing and using the ideas or writings of another fan fiction writer as your own. The Web Mistress frequently surfs and reads the content of other fan fiction sites. You will be caught.
