A Basic Summary


Aside from being master thinkers & plotters, we like to think of ourselves as being highly creative. For those marauders who have mastered the written word this forum is for you. Post your own short stories, poems, essays, haikus, & fanfictions here. We will critique, compliment, & maybe even worship (jk) your work here. biggrin

Note: For those with original manga or art please check out the Marauder's art biggrin

Rules & Requirements


*Works are divided into two categories: non-entry pieces and entry pieces. The latter are specific writings for marauder literary competitions. The first are simply for fun.


Non-entry pieces:
In regards to individual, non-entry pieces there are no rules. Just obey the ToS. We do however, reccomend that:

  • If your work exceeds three pages length (microsoft word) that you post chapters in seperate posts or divide it as to avoid the massive wall of text.
  • If your piece is somewhat racy or could be deemed as offensive include a disclaimer in the first post.
  • Your first post should tell a little background about the work. Ex: summary or plot line (no spoilers), how you came up with it, message you want to portray, etc.
  • Realize that by posting you will probaby be critiqued. Make sure you use spell check. biggrin Be sure to handle critiquing (sp?) in an adultlike manner. Take it with a grain of salt; it's just an opinion.


Entry Pieces
In regards to entry pieces the work must meet all the requirements to be considered. When posting your work you should post the title with a note with the title of the competition to the side. For example:
Grandma's Cookies -[When I was a kid... competition]

Other than that the same reccomendations & rules apply for the entry pieces that apply for the non-entry pieces.
