Looking for a Fanfic/Fanfic Recommendation Forum
Posted: Tue Mar 28, 2006 10:52 am
In our constant quest to streamline Fanatics, and to provide forums that seem to be in demand, the Admin and Mod team at Fanatics would like to welcome you to the new Looking for a Fanfic/Fanfic Recommendation forum.
Here are the rules:
1) If looking for a specific fic, please use the stickied thread provided, which is basically just the one from Fanfic Discussion moved here.
2) If you would like to see a Fanfic Recommendation category added, please pm a mod or admin first. There might already be a thread in the forum meeting your needs.
3) Please post links to all recommended fics.
4) You MAY post links to recommended fics on other boards besides Fanatics (we'd love it if you'd encourage recommended authors to post their fics here too though!)
5) Please do not recommend your own fics. That's cheesy, and if it's worth recommending, someone else will do it. This might seem like an arbitrary rule, but we want the BEST OF THE BEST to be recommended here, and, well, sometimes your fic just...er, isn't. This rule is meant to also cut down on unnecessary posting.
Trust your readership. If your fic is recommendation-worthy, it will be recommended. Plus, think about how much more it means when someone ELSE recommends your fic.
6) As a caveat to Rule #5 - if your fic is being searched for the on the "Looking for a Fanfic" thread, certainly let the person looking know it's yours.
7) If your UC ship doesn't have it's own thread yet, please use the General UC Recommendations thread in the meantime. If we see that a particular ship is taking over that thread, we will create a new thread at that time. Thanks for your understanding! We're not discriminating, just trying to make sure that a ship that has one good fic out there isn't taking up needed space.
Fics CAN be recommended on more than one thread, if they meet more than one criteria.
9) UC Fics CAN be recommended on any thread, except for CC and specific CC couplings threads (duh!). They must be identified as UC on those threads, however.
10) Stories do not have to be complete to be recommended, but please warn users ahead of time if they are incomplete.
11) There are several "SPOILER" threads. These are for stories where some plot points others are searching for could be considered story spoilers. If you don't want to know, then don't read those threads. And don't come whining to me if you do.
