fanfiction guidelines
how to post your fan fiction
- Proboards doesn't allow any kind of Adult Content on their forums. So all fan fiction ratings must be PG - PG-13. At some point in time, we will create another forum for smut related fan fiction when the forums get more popular.
- This is a Lois & Clark fan forum, so obviously the fics must be about them.
- Place fan fiction in it's rightful forum. If we see a fic that isn't, we will move it to it's rightful place. Please do not make a habit of placing it wrongly.
- Post your own fan fiction. Do not post outside fics that do not belong to you. If the author wants their fic here, they can join and post it. This also goes for readers. Do not take fics from here and put them on other sites without the authors consent.
- Respect the authors when reviewing their fic. There is no need to be rude or give them a hassle.
- Do not post fics that involve actors or actresses. Any fan fiction posted about an actor/actress will be deleted, and you will get a warning or ban depending on the level of material you have posted.
how to post your fan fiction
- Since this forum is a multi-Lois & Clark fandom forum; meaning it's everything from Superman comics to other adaptations of Lois & Clark, there will be different types of forums where the fan fiction will go. So it's important that you put the fan fiction in it's rightful sub-forum.
- This forum will have two types of fan fictions, Series & One-Shots, it's important to place what type of fan fic it is, so that the readers know what their about to read. It also makes it easier for the Admin & Moderators to place the fics in the rightgul archives.
For Example:
[One-Shot] fic title here
OR
[Series] fic title here.
A One-Shot is a fan fic that doesn't follow a series of chapters. So it should not have more than one chapter tied to it.
A Series is fan fiction that follows a series of chapters. So it should have more than two chapters in it. - It is also important that the author provides a few details on what the reader will be reading. Here is a template that you can use within your post:
Title: Name of fan fic
Rating: Must be PG - PG-13
Spoilers: If there is no spoiler, it's best to leave this out or state that there isn't any.
Disclaimer: Post your personalized disclaimer that states that you do not own Lois & Clark or Superman etc.
Summary: This gets the readers attention. If there isn't any, your fic will probably be over looked.
Other common details is the Genre of a fic and if the fic is a Crossover.
