RULES for Reviewing Fanfiction at ALTERNATE CHARMED: All the Possibilities

1. Be sure to check out the Fanfic Index to help you find the fanfiction you would like to read. Also be sure to check out The Vault, home to special fics written by fans who are no longer members of the Charmed family and who have graciously allowed their fanfictions to be posted here.

2. Please feel free to read and review as many fanfictions that catch your fantasy. Fanfictions are posted here in such a way so you can review each chapter after you read it. Authors will appreciate this feedback.

3. Since everyone will have different opinions regarding fanfictions posted at ALTERNATE CHARMED: All the Possibilities,[/color] friendly discussion and debate are always welcomed, but please remember to respect your fellow members. If they have a different opinion than you, debate away, but do not attack the member.

** PLEASE NOTE: This site is the spot to discuss the fanfics, not the show! **

Please try to be polite to all members in the fanfiction area, no matter if they're an author or a reviewer, but please remember that everyone is allowed their own opinion, too, and try not to be too overly-sensitive. If you don't like what someone else says, either debate it or just ignore it, don't attack it.

Attackers will find themselves first warned and then banned and their posts deleted. If you feel that you have been attacked personally, please send a Private Message to Alternate Charmed.

Do remember however, that these fanfictions are their authors' "babies" -- a lot of time and effort went into writing them. Go ahead and knock the characters on the show, knock Brad Kern or Constance Burge or The WB or The CW, knock the actors, knock the characterization of the characters in the fanfiction, all are more than acceptable, but please don't knock the author! Remember, if you don't like a fanfiction, make suggestions for how to make it better or simply don't review the fanfiction.

It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness![/b]

4. One-line reviews like "This is good", "You're a great author", "I like this" are not appreciated here, since anyone can post that without actually reading the fanfictions. Such reviews can also appear to be sucking up to the author rather than actually helping the author become better, which is also not appreciated. Reviews like these will be deleted.

Your review should show that you have read the fanfiction and should include what you did and didn't like about the fanfiction, including suggestions on how to make the fanfiction better, although the author is in no way obliged to follow your suggestions.

5. Although you can use your review to "pimp" your own similar fanfiction, RPG or site, do not use your review to only "pimp" your own fanfiction, RPG or site. Posts like "This is great! Please come read my fic!" are expressly forbidden. These ads will be deleted.

6. If you've already read one of the fanfictions posted at this site at a different site, feel free to copy and paste your reviews from the other site, but also feel free to re-read and post a totally new review; authors will appreciate either.

7. Please do not use any ideas written in these fanfiction in any fanfiction or RPG of your own posted at this or any other site unless you request and receive expressed permission from the author.

Thank you so much for your co-operation!
