1. All stories posted in this forum should revolve around Clark/Lana either as friends or as a romantic pairing. It can have other characters and other mentions of pairings either past or present, but the focus of the story should be Clark/Lana. If you're unsure, use your best discretion where to put it. No one is going to smite you for posting it in a less than ideal category. =)
2. All stories should include as the first part of their first post the following template:
Title/Link:
Author:
Pairing: (if any)
Rating:
Warnings (if needed):
Spoilers (when applicable):
Short summary:
3. The subject of each thread should AT LEAST include "Story Title (Rating)". It can include more details like "Story Title (Rating, angst, drama, crossover)" but the title and the rating must be first.
4. All stories in the "Other Pairings" forum MUST indicate the pairings/combos in the subject line.
5. All stories MUST be rated in the template and in the subject line of the post.
6. All ratings must be appropriate to the story. We follow the MPAA guidelines for rating stories. If you're not sure how to rate your story, check out these guidelines (http://www.mpaa.org/movieratings/about/index.htm). There are gray areas, but any story found to be rated grossly inappropriately (example: rating it G when it's hardcore porn) will be *removed* and the user will be banned outright.
7. You can post stories featuring Clark/Lana in any genres (drama, humor, romance, episode vignettes, adventure), any crossovers, any ratings G to PG-13 here. All R and NC-17 fics must go in the Adult section, regardless of pairing or genre.
8. You can post either the actual text of the story, or a link to another site where your story is linked. There is one exception illustrated below.
9. Do NOT link to a story on another message board. We'll allow links to any static archive or people's personal sites. If you need a place to host your stories, here are some suggestions in order of preference:
- Wild Coyote (het fic archive) - (link) (http://www.loony-archivist.com/coyote)
- The Smallville Slash Archive - (link) (http://smallville.slashdom.com)
- The Level Three Archive (all ratings, pairings and genres) - (link) (http://www.smallvillefanfic.com)
- FanFiction.Net (link) (http://www.fanfiction.net)
- Any author's personal web site or story archive
- Any author's personal blog or journal
- Other Smallville story archives such as "Smallville Under Covers"
Check with us first if you're not sure. It bears repeating: YOU MAY NOT LINK TO A STORY POSTED ON ANOTHER MESSAGE BOARD.
10. You may only start a new thread for YOUR OWN stories. If you'd like to recommend someone else's story, please do so in the Story Recommendations thread tacked at the top of each forum instead.
11. As always, plagiarizers will be banned and their stories deleted. No second chances.
Finally, over the course of the next few weeks, we'll be moving all the existing stories into their appropriate sub-forums. That way, people will be able to find what they want to read easier. We need YOUR help on this. If you're an author with a story on this board, please consider re-editing your original post and adding in the new template. We'll be happy to change the subject line for you and move it to the right forum.
As always, if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please do let us know what you think below.
