I really want these rules to be respected, call it a pet peeves if wewe must. And I dont think wewe all can find that makala burried under everything, so I copy pasted the makala here.
Now that the rules have re-surfaced, I'll be giving warnings. There is one fanfic that was ilitumwa in makala form [i]before[i] the rules came out, called "Immortal Links", its an exception, there are no others. Yuo must apply to these rules.
CREDIT CAN IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE GO TO ME, AMPHITRITE WROTE THE ARTICLE, FROM NOW ON THE WORDS ARE HERS
We seem to have tons of shabiki Fic. on the way, just one zaidi way we are growing as a community. But, as a community, there are things we have to do to keep our spot clean. So, there has to be some rules for our latest feature. Please, if wewe are uandishi a shabiki fic., abide kwa these 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 tafuta out makala to find the specific chapter wewe are looking for. kwa 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 wewe out of a story zaidi than trying to understand what the mwandishi is saying. If wewe would like someone to review your piece for wewe to make sure it is virtually mistake free, au wewe just want someone to let wewe 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 ilitumwa they will be reported. wewe 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 au bored. If wewe don't plan on finishing your story, then don't publish it.
5. Please put a rating on your story. We never know who is kusoma our stories. We wouldn't want a little kid kusoma 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, au 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)
6.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 aliyopewa below. (This does not pertain to short stories, please see the form below the first one.)
Title: [Your Title Here]
Rating: [Rate your shabiki fic. here]
Type: [Please put what genre wewe think your story falls into, wewe can use multiple genres.]

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

Disclaimer: [Give credit where credit is due.]

7. No bullying. This really pertains to people who maoni on your story. If wewe maoni on a story, please be nice, and if wewe insist on critisism make it constructive. If wewe don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all! Violators will be reported!
8. Let us know when wewe publish a story au a chapter! Go to the ukuta 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 au anything, one message will do it.
9. HAVE FUN! Your story is just that, yours. The whole point of shabiki fic (in my opinion) is to have fun and get all those crazy thoughts out of your head. Don't let anyone push wewe around. wewe do not have to accept requests, wewe 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 wewe anything different, ripoti them au let me know.
Ratings
Although nothing makes an mwandishi feel greater than having someone tell them what they like about a story, they still want to know how well the story was recieved kwa everybody. That's where ratings come in. wewe know how to rate an article, but when wewe post a chapter fic in the forum, there is no way to rate it. I've devised a system to let the authors of chapter fics know just how much wewe liked a piece. So, wewe know those emotes at the bottom of the reply form at the bottom of the page? Well, they are nifty little things. So my idea is that depending on how well wewe like a chapter in a shabiki fic wewe choose an emote that is equated with numbers on a rating scale (1-10.) The Scale is as follows.
1-Angry (the angry face)This is the worst rating
2-Sad (Has a frown...not the crying face)
3-Hmmmm (has a half frown)
4-meh (no smile, but no frown...straight line)
5-monkey (It's a monkey...)
6-smile (The regular smiley face)
7-big smile (The face with the big ear to ear grin)
8-cool (The face with the sun glasses)
9-kiss (The face with the puckered up lips)
10-heart (Self explainitory) This is the best rating
If wewe want to make an mwandishi feel especially happy, give them a prop. Use the maoni prop, and let the mwandishi know what wewe like!
These rules are here to make our kusoma adventures fun, safe, and easy. I'm not trying to be mean, so please don't hurt me. If wewe have any complaints au wewe think I missed something send me a PM au post it in the comments. Happy fic'ing. Go. Read. Enjoy.
wewe must apply on these rules au I will personally callback Mr D (because I have zaidi power then Zeus, heck tshyah! ((I wish)) ) and this will be your new permenant form.
So with a little tweak of Amph's words; go. Write. Enjoy.
