Below are our submission rules:

  1. 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.
     
  2. Please check your grammar and spelling. If your story has an abundance of errors, it will not be approved for the archives.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. While we're at it... no Mary Sues or Larry Stus, please.
     
  6. Your story must have proper title and header information. Please click here to see what is required.
     
  7. 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.
     
  8. 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.
     
  9. 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.
     
  10. 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.
     
  11. 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.
     
  12. 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.
     
  13. 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.
     
  14. 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.
