bury the year Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 STUPID THINGS THAT GO WITHOUT SAYING00. 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.POSTING02. 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.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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.

Agro Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 If I already have a posted fic, can I still make a planning thread for his here as well? Can I make a single planning thread for the 3 fics I have sort-of-going-atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yep, that's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Am I allowed to post beta versions of fics here? Like: "Would anyone be interested in reading a story in this style?" [Insert sample] How about recruiting for other things? I always wanted to do a tandem writing thing. Would I be able to recruit here for that?

Frybread002 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hmmm...Okay! Got it Rinne! I just got a quick question for everyone in general: I haven't been here for awhile and I'm having some trouble locating specified date that Rinne mentioned. So am I asking a bit too much if someone were to point me where I can find the new rule changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Well, this is a late response, but I don't understand what you mean by the "new rule changes." This thread only specifies rules that apply to the planning forum: to see the rules for the creative writing section as a whole, go to the main forum.

Frybread002 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh...oh!? Okay, I spent quite a bit of time going over the rules and I was able to find what I was looking for. Thanks Runne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
