Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, everyone! Ears (or eyes?) open! Here are the rules for the Fanfiction Forum! Please read them! You are expected to follow them to a "T"!


1.) Obey all copyright laws: Do not post any works that you do not own the rights to! If it is discovered that you are breaking this rule, the work will be swiftly removed, and you will be banned from the guild and reported to a Gaia Moderator. Also, be sure to include a note in the first post of your fic explaining the copyrights of any and all pre-existing CCS characters/places/etc. you use in your story. Likewise, include a note stating your rights to any characters/places/etc. that you've made up

2.) If you post a Personal Fic, type (Pers.) before the title of your fic in the thread's subject. Likewise, if you post a Collaborative Fic, type (Coll.) before the title of your fic in the thread's subject.

3.) Do not post in other people's Personal Fics until the Fic has been completed. Only when the fic is completed, and the author says so, may other members post reviews and begin discussion of the fic. If someone makes an "interrupting post" in your Personal Fic, report it to a Crew, and they will remove the post, for you, A.S.A.P.!

4.) If you post a Collaborative Fic, you are giving others the right to alter the flow of the story with their own entries. Do not complain if this happens. If you don't want people to alter the flow of your fic, make it a Personal Fic instead.

5.) Be sure to include rating captions in the first post of your fic. I will make a thread with some examples of these. Of course, we are on Gaia, so no fic in this subforum should ever exceed PG-13. If any fic exceeds PG-13, it will be removed immediately!

6.) Yes, Shounen-Ai and Shoujo-Ai are allowed, as long as it is kept PG-13 or UNDER! AGAIN: If any fic exceeds PG-13, it will be removed immediately!

7.) Any regular fic discussion, or anything not classified as a fic/poem/song, should go in the "Fic Discussion Thread". Any regular fic discussion threads or regular discussion threads made, will be deleted upon discovery, and the member will be warned.

8.) Sorry! Due to a lack of a secure fic-gold/gold-fic trade system, there will be no "commisions" allowed!


Those are the rules for the CCS fanfiction forum. If you have any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions, please post them in this thread.

"Commisions" are when one person offers a piece of work in exchange for a said price or item(s). In real life, it's usually real money. However, on Gaia, it would be Gaia Gold and/or Gaia items. Because we can't securely say that someone will indeed give their fic when the gold/item(s) is/are given, or give the gold/item(s) when the fic is given, then I've decided that it would do us well to not permit comissions.

Yes. It would be someone writing a fic, and selling it to someone for Gaia Gold/Items. Because of a lack of a secure trade system for fic/gold-gold/fic, I've decided that it would be best not to allow commisions.
