To Gain Entry:
This site is password protected and, other than the WELCOME and SITE GUIDELINES forums, is for members only. If you would like to become a member, please register and start a new thread in the WELCOME forum to tell us about yourself. It may be a few hours between the time you register and the activation of your membership.
IF YOU DO NOT START A THREAD AND TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF IN THE WELCOME FORUM, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ENTRY. NO EXCEPTIONS. Use your full name or a full name that sounds real. Your displayed name may be a nickname.
This is a very small site with low reviewing activity but we do review, particularly novels. We favor SF and Fantasy but all genres are welcome. If you are interested in deep critiques and high volume, this is not the site for you. You'll basically find out here if it works for the reader and some general critiques. If you are new to writing, this is probably not the site for you. While we are gentle, generally our members won't read newby novels or short stories that are poorly constructed. Learn your craft. While we can and will teach a few things, if you receive 0 critiques, usually it means your writing is not sufficiently interesting to warrant comment. Don't cry in the corner. Learn your craft. I can't say that enough. We're all in the same boat, growing and learning.
If you want reviews, you must give. Please check that the person you're reviewing is still a member so you don't waste your time.
The tone of a board is determined by the attitudes of members. In order to maintain a writer and people-friendly board, these rules are in place for this site. Please read and take note.
What is said here, stays here. No copying of posts to post elsewhere (unless with the poster's permission).
No posting of PM's; they are private. If they are being used to threaten or abuse, report it to the Admins.
No personal attacks or threats of physical violence. No flaming. Since this is highly subjective, Admins will treat with a light hand unless they feel there is intent to damage the site or its members. Members are free to lodge complaints with the Admins. If a member is doing any of the above, Admins will first warn privately. If the behavior continues, a time-out on the member will be put in place (where they cannot access the site), first offense 2 weeks, 2nd offense 1 month, 3rd offense, membership will be canceled, although subject to reinstatement as circumstances may warrant.
If a thread is erupting into flames, Admins may delete the offensive posts or the whole thread. Since this is highly subjective, Admins frequently discuss between themselves before taking action.
No duplicate memberships, i.e. Wiley E. Coyote on one IP and Roadrunner on 2nd IP. Real names or at least, real-sounding names, are preferred. Last names are not required.
Plagiarism will result in immediate and permanent banning.
Our intent is not to discourage creative expression, no matter how outrageous or provocative; only to prevent the metastasizing of personal exchanges into a malignancy that proves terminal for our site. In other words, we practice preventative medicine.
Since we do not monitor sexual content or language, we don't admit anyone under 18. We are usually GP rated, though.
