| Subject: Writing Rules (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!) Fri May 01, 2009 2:58 am | |
| Obviously we have rules, regardless of how easy-going here at AWOC we are. We ask everyone to follow these rules, lest they be smited into the fiery depths of heeroyuey's butt. That said, I will post a Writing 'Do's & Don'ts'. Don't- Post other peoples work.
- Post ANY mature content.* That is what 'Writing 18+' is for. (Any mature content posted in here will NOT be moved. Instead it will be deleted without warning. Learn the rules carefull!)
- Double post just to 'bump' the topic.
- Be impolite while giving or receiving comments and criticism. Anyone found flaming another person for no reason will be punted into next week with the metaphorical iron boot.
- Post one word, seriously short, or emoticon based comments. These artists are not here to hear "Cute "
- Deviate from these rules. I mean it! Don't!
Do- Post YOUR writing, be it a short poem, or a full-blown novel.
- Double post ONLY if it contains a new chapter.
- Be polite a respectful when giving and receiving comments and criticism.
- Keep to the above 'Don't' rules at all times.
- Have fun!
---------------------------------- Here is an example of good C&C: - Quote :
- Hi there.
I really like your writing. The idea behind it and your characters are fantastic. I like the way you describe the pain of your main character as he fights to protect his family. It really brings out the humanity. But, I do think that the grammar and punctuation needs a little bit of work. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to look at some guides online to help you for when you write your next one, yes?
(Provide links if you can)
Either way, good job. I look forward to seeing more from you! Here is an example of bad C&C: - Quote :
- OMG! I dont like it!!!!1 Ur fics suck! come bck when u get sum talent noob.
Or, alternatively: - Quote :
