Both problems are being worked on. ^_^ The devs know about the link, and the rules & guidelines announcement for this forum was sent in for final approval yesterday. Feedback for the arena can go either here or in Site Feedback.
You guys rocks!
And I do have a bit of feedback regarding the rules for submission in the arena, although you've probably already seen most of it discussed. My biggest is clarification. The guidelines are a bit vague when it comes to what is considered original material, or what fits the PG13 rating. Is fanfiction considered for the purposes of the arena "original" material? And what is considered to be too sexual, and too violent? I've encountered users posting yaoi and BDSM literature that, while it doesn't go into the sexual acts themselves, are quite graphic. I know I often hint at and allude to sexual themes in my own writing, but I'm not sure what's considered too much. The same with violence, or even offensive language. Am I allowed to describe a violent scene in detail so long as my characters aren't being eviscerated left, right and center, or should I gloss over most of the gore and violence?
PG13 today is a lot different than it was when I was 13 and under 12 years ago.
sweatdrop And I really don't want to inadvertently violate arena rules because they're unclear.
