YCM Story Planning Forum Rules


bury the year

Recommended Posts

STUPID THINGS THAT GO WITHOUT SAYING
00. The general rules of the YCM forums apply to this forum unless explicitly stated otherwise. Rules specific to this section pertain to all content posted and/or updated after November 2, 2012.
01. The Creative Writing Forum Rules apply to this subforum as well unless explicitly stated otherwise.

POSTING
02. This forum is to be used for expansion of plot ideas; discussing various topics in writing (e.g. how to effectively write someone of the opposite gender); requesting a beta reader; requesting and/or submitting characters; and the like. Posting of actual stories and discussion thereof should be done in the main forum.
03. Actually provide something for other members to talk about. Just saying "hey guys, I'm writing a story!" is not allowed and will result in a lock.
04. Unlike the main Creative Writing forum, bumping at any time is not allowed. Posting in a topic that is off the first page is against the rules and will result in a warning and a lock.
05. Just to reiterate. By posting your work, you waive your right to complain about feedback. You must agree to at least acknowledge any and all criticism that comes your way and not immediately dismiss harsh reviews. However, this does not permit direct insults. (This is also known as the Jack Witt Clause.)
06. Character signups/requests are allowed: however, they require at least the prologue or first chapter of the fic in question to be posted simultaneously.

Seems reasonable enough and covers everything (although depending on how much CW and subsequent use of this forum increases, lol, the no posting in threads on page 2 may need revisting. Minute posibility I admit).

I applaud the creation of such a section, could be of real use for new writers and help make their fics better.

So, what does this mean for the Pub thread though? Is that going to be a place to pitch ideas and then build on them in seperate threads here or what?

Since the Pub thread's locked, I imagine it's going to stay that way.

Whoops, didn't notice that while I was writing my post :S

Mind you, I barely used the pub. I just asked people for opinions via PM and status, and this has to be better than that.
