As many of the older members (I say we call ourselves The Ancients) know there are rules for this club. These rules have always existed and were made da Amphitrite who along with Roheha were pretty much in charge. These rules kept order and a spam free environment. However when they both were called up to Olympus this club began to fall at the seams. HecateA routinely reposted to keep order. I’ve even reposted these before. Now we are again falling into the whole of chaos, spam, Mary sue OC’s! So I must repost these rules.

Disclaimer: These epic rules were made da Amphitrite and Hecate A.

FANFICTION RULES

1. Chapter stories should go in the forum. Short stories (one chapter stories/one shots) go in the articles. It is annoying having to cerca out articoli to find the specific chapter te are looking for. da keeping chapter stories in a specific thread it is less confusing, less troubling, and a whole lot easier for people to navigate and find the chapters they are looking for.

2. Please use proper grammar/spelling. Nothing can bring te out of a story più than trying to understand what the autore is saying. If te would like someone to review your piece for te to make sure it is virtually mistake free, o te just want someone to let te know if it sounds good, send me a PM.

3.NO LEMONS! No one wants to read a story about nothing but doing the dirty, so please save your lemons for another site. If Lemons are postato they will be reported. te have been warned.

4. Do not abandon your stories. I look at stories like children, abandoning them is wrong, and it is annoying to get into a story and never get to finish it because someone got lazy o bored. If te don't plan on finishing your story, then don't pubblica it.

5. Please put a rating on your story. We never know who is Leggere our stories. We wouldn't want a little kid Leggere something we wouldn't want Grandma to see, would we? Please use the rating system below:

YC- suitable for kids age 5 and up (No violence, bad language, o adult themes.)

C-suitable for age 10 and up (Mild violence, no bad language and no adult themes.)

YA-suitable for age 13 and up (May contain violence, and some bad language)

T-suitable for 15 and up (May contain violence, bad language, and some adult themes)

M-suitable for 17 and up (May contain violence, bad language, and adult themes)


.Please use an informational form. Although creativity cannot be contained and is sometimes sloppy, please use a proper form for the informational part of your story (the part that lets everyone know what your story is about and all that jazz.) Please use the form dato below. (This does not pertain to short stories, please see the form below the first one.)

Title: [Your titolo Here]

Rating: [Rate your fan fic. here]

Type: [Please put what genre te think your story falls into, te can use multiple genres.]

Characters: [Please put the central characters here. If one of them is of your own creation put OC]

Synopsis: [Put a brief descrizione of your story here, te don't have to give away the ending, but let people know what they are getting into]

Disclaimer: [So we don't get in trouble here, please give R.R. (or whoever deserves it) credit]

A/N: [Put your author's notes here. They can pertain to the story o they can be dedications]


FOR SHORT STORIES (one shots)
Rating: [Please rate your story here]

Disclaimer: [Give credit where credit is due.]

A/N: [Put your Author's notes here.]


7. No bullying. This really pertains to people who commento on your story. If te commento on a story, please be nice, and if te insist on critisism make it constructive. If te don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all! Violators will be reported!

8. Let us know when te pubblica a story o a chapter! Go to the bacheca and post a brief message to get the news out that your story is up! Don't be obnoxious about it though, don't spam o anything, one message will do it.

9. HAVE FUN! Your story is just that, yours. The whole point of fan fic (in my opinion) is to have fun and get all those crazy thoughts out of your head. Don't let anyone push te around. te do not have to accept requests, te do not have a deadline for publishing, and there are certainly no limitations (other than the ones above) on your story. If someone is trying to tell te anything different, segnala them o let me know.

10. Don’t just post fan fiction. There are sites designed especially for that and this isn’t one of them.(If te want that I recommend wattpad and FF.net) Yes we allow fanfiction, but please contribute in other ways

OTHER RULES

1. NO SPAMMING! Although te may not be able to resist it, please try to refrain from spamming the thread. It is annoying and it makes it harder for other Fanpoppers to figure out what is being talked about. So please keep the thread spam free. We don't want a messy thread do we?

2. Don't Go Off Topic. That is to say, if your commento isn't about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series o the Heroes of Olympus series, then save it for the random spot o your post script. We don't care if Bigfoot visited your house and ransacked your fridge last night, so don't post it without contributing to the converstation on the thread.

3. Don't post several consecutive comments. Same as with the other rules. Commenting like this is very annoying and makes the thread look messy. Instead of posting a string of little comments, combine them into one larger comment. If te think of something else te want to say after you've postato go back and check to see if anyone postato after you. If te were the last to commento on the thread, then click the modifica button under your comment. If te don't know which button is the "edit" button, it is the pencil. After te click on the pencil a text box will pop up with your post in it. Simply add your afterthought to the original commento and invia it again.

4. Use Proper Grammar. I’ll be posting a grammar guide if te don’t get what that means.
5. NO CROSSOVERS! Again FF.net is a great website.
