Welcome to For The Love Of Writing!
I'm very happy that you've decided to join our group! This is a place for safe sharing of the literary arts. We are all about growing together as writers and most of all, we want to have fun. Now sadly, some people out there can't follow basic social norms and morals. Because of this I have to make rules to insure that everyone is having fun without having to deal with jerk, con-artists, and spam. For the most part, all of these rules are common sense and shouldn't have to be stated. I still wish for you to read them so we know everyone is on the same page. Thank you for your time and happy writing!
- No discrimination! This is a place to talk about writing, not personal views. If you do not like the topic of someones story do not comment on it. The only place discrimination is allowed is in fiction, if it plays a key rule in the story. I'm very strict on this and breaking this rule may mean being permanently banned from this forum.
- This is a spam free zone. Links maybe allowed in signatures if they are writing related. You may freely post links in your profile or in the Links Board. However, all links must be rated G. Any other links will be removed and the poster issued a warning. The only expectation to this rule is if you feel it is necessary to provide a source, like on the advice boards. However, the links must still be family friendly.
- Do not post writing that is not your own unless you give the author credit. You wouldn't want someone else stealing the credit or your hard work, so why would you steal someone else's?
- Keep everything rated PG-13. No cussing, no sex, and mild violence only. You can write a story about a foul mouthed, jack the ripper wannabe, sex addict if you want. But you can only post it on here if you censor A LOT of the story out.
- Be respectful of each other. No "You suck as a writer." "I can't believe you can't spell." None of that. This ties into rule #1. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. This doesn't mean you can't point out their mistakes, just do so respectfully.
Be warned, rules may be added or changed at anytime. Announcements will be posted letting you know if this happens?
