Okay . . . let's get the obvious out of the way.

1. No non-related chatting here. We have the OOC thread in the main forum and the OOC forum to just chat away. Do it here, and earn my ire.

2. Critiques on request only. Some people want criticism. Others just feel like sharing. The point here is to tell which is which. To make sure we don't step on each other's feelings, if you are merely sharing your work, put (NC) before the thread name for "No Critique". If you want people to tell you how to improve on your style, wording, or anything else, just let it go. That way we can easily see if you do not want us butting into your work.

3. Respect, people. This goes without saying, but I really do not want to see flaming or downing other's work. Writing can be a very personal thing and takes a lot out of you- see my entry to find out how much it took out of me. Trust me on this- you do not want to tick me off by blatant disrespect of those brave enough to post in this subforum. ninja
