Below are our submission rules:
- No Rhiana-as-Rhiana fiction. Ever. Her life is her own. This
is also true for all other celebrities and real people... no real-person
fiction of any type will be accepted.
- Please check your grammar and spelling. If your story has
an abundance of errors, it will not be approved for the archives.
- No bash-fics. We define these as stories in which Rhiana's
character is there to be trashed by the author. We have no problem with
her character being a villain in a piece, as long as she's shown respect
in the process. We are not interested in seeing your Mary Sue
beat her up and steal her guy.
- No Kyra (at least, not as a continuation of
Jack). Rhiana isn't in The Chronicles of Riddick
and a lot of us don't consider Kyra a legitimate extension of the Jack
character anyway. Until and unless Rhiana plays her, she has no place
here. You can, however, write Alternate Universe stories in which Kyra
is not Jack, and Jack is present as well. That, however, is the only
time that we will accept Kyra in a story... as far as we're concerned,
she's a poorly-written Mary Sue, no matter who created her.
- While we're at it... no Mary Sues or Larry Stus, please.
- Your story must have proper title and header information. Please

what is required.
- Your story must be adequately and appropriately rated, given its
content. You must use the appropriate warnings for content; failure
to do so, that results in complaints, will result in the removal of
your story. Please put the overall rating and warnings for the entire
story in the first chapter, even if you then rate and warn on a per-chapter
basis.
- Your story must be located in the appropriate forum. If you
already know that later chapters of your story will contain R-rated
or NC-17-rated content, you must post all of the story, including chapters
with lighter ratings, in the R/NC-17 forum. It's not fair for you to
hook in readers who won't be able to continue reading the story past
a certain point.
- No "Feedback Whoring." That's when you threaten to stop writing
if you aren't given a certain level of feedback. Authors who put such
threats in their stories will have their posting privileges revoked.
- No using your stories, or feedback to either your own story or
anyone else's, to conduct flame-wars. Anyone caught engaging in
a flame-war will have their posting privileges revoked immediately,
and their stories may be removed from the board at our discretion.
- PLAGIARISM: This is the act of
taking someone else's work -- whether word-for-word or their plot structure
-- and presenting it as your own without giving them due or proper credit.
It is theft. Any author found to have plagiarized another
author's work will be permanently banned from our site and all of their
stories will be deleted.
- Sexually explicit material and minors: Stories with R and NC-17
ratings are intended for adults only. If you are under 18, do not
post R or NC-17 fiction on this site. It will be removed and you
will be banned from posting if we discover that you have. Do not post
R or NC-17 material on this site under a lesser rating, either. Any
characters featured in sexually explicit situations must be at least
16 years of age, preferably older.
- No spamming the board. Please only post one chapter of your
story per day, and one chapter per thread. If you are a new writer to
our forum and you have a great deal of material that you want to post,
to bring us "up to speed," please contact one of our administrators
and discuss the situation with us. We are willing to make exceptions
under certain situations, but only for people who ask us first.
- Format your text for readability. Please remember to put a
blank line between each paragraph in your story. Do a basic spell-check,
and check your work over for mistakes, before you post. Don't
get crazy with text sizes and colors, either. A huge wad of text, lots
of spelling errors, and similar problems, can result in readers hitting
the back button before they've gone farther than a few sentences...
and your intention here is to have them read your work, not avoid
it.
