How to Post Fanfiction at ALTERNATE CHARMED: All the Possibilities
Are you no longer a newbie and do you have completed Charmed fanfiction that you would like to post here at ALTERNATE CHARMED: All the Possibilities?
Have you read RULES for POSTING FANFICTION? If so, here's how to have your fanfiction posted here:
1. Please post the first chapter of your fanfiction into a new thread in "Just In". If your fanfiction is a songfiction or a one-shot fanfiction, please just post a section of the fanfiction, enough to act as a teaser.
Please note!! Fill out the subject field with the title of the chapter.
2. Please begin all fanfiction with the following Index Card:
INDEX CARD
TITLE:
AUTHOR:
TYPE (one-shot, chapters, part of a series):
RATING: (K, T, M. MA):
PLEASE NOTE: PER NEW RULES OF PROBOARDS, FANFICTION RATED MA IS NO LONGER ALLOWED ON THIS SITE! This is ProBoard's choice, not ours!
PER THESE NEW RULES, ANY FANFICTION THAT WE FEEL WOULD BE RATED MA WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! This is to protect our site.
LEAD CHARACTERS:
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS:
SHORT SUMMARY:
(Please note that the summary should act as a teaser; don't give away the ending!)
Your index card should contain all of of the above information.
This information will be needed in order to set up your author board and for properly indexing your fanfiction. Anyone who submits their story without this information will not be included in the index and will not have this information listed on the main page, which will result in fewer readers. Thank you for your cooperation.
All authors who post a fanfiction summary in the "Just In" board will receive their own author board and a sub-board for each of their fanfictions that have more than one chapter! They will also be the mod of these boards!
If you are going to post a series of fanfiction (ie. your version of a season of Charmed), your series will be given its own board in the Series section and a new sub-board for each story (episode) that you preview in this Just In board. You will also be the mod of those boards!
3. The first time you post a fanfiction summary in "Just In", Alternate Charmed (one of the admins) will do the following things:
- Set up your own author board, with your name as the title of that board, and with you, the author, set up as the mod of that board.
- If your first fanfiction is more than one chapter in length,
set up a fanfiction sub-board, with the title of your fanfiction as the title of the sub-board and with you, the author, set up as the mod of that sub-board. - Reply to your summary thread with a link to the new author board/fanfiction sub-board so that readers can find and read (and hopefully review) the rest of your fanfiction.
- Add your fanfiction to the main page and to the proper Index.
- Send a Private Message to you, letting you know that your author board (and fanfiction sub-board) has been set up.
- If your fanfiction is a songfiction or a one-shot, post it on your author board.
- If your fanfiction is more than one chapter/part/section, post it in its fanfiction sub-board, using a different thread for each chapter. For an example, please see Esmeralda's "I'll Think of You That Way".
- If your fanfiction is the start of a new series, post it in its series sub-board, using a different thread for each chapter.
- If your fanfiction is part of an existing series, post it in its series sub-board, using a different thread for each chapter.
Please start each chapter title with a chapter number. Use regular Arabic numbers, not the words.
For example, use 1: Shock rather than One: Shock or Chapter One: Shock
You may use any of these formats in your actual post, but thanks to an idiosyncracy of ProBoards, doing this in the subject line will allow the chapters to appear in the correct order.
For an example, please see Esmeralda's Epilogue to "The Courtship of Wyatt's Father"
If your fanfiction has a prologue, please number that chapter 0
Due to this same idiosyncracy, if your fanfiction has more than nine chapters, please number the first nine chapters 01, 02, 03, etc. For an example, please see Esmeralda's Charmed Forever
5. Your summary thread will stay here in "Just In" for a month to act as a teaser for new readers, although it will remain locked, so no one will be able to review it here in "Just In".
After the month, that thread will be deleted.
6. If you have a banner that you would like to see on the fanfiction sub-board for your fanfiction (like a book cover!), please send a Private Message to Alternate Charmed with the URL.
7. Once your author board is set up,
- If you have any other songfiction or one-shot fiction that you wish to have posted here, just post the "teaser section" in "Just In" and the full fanfiction in your author board.
- If you have another fanfiction that is more than one chapter/part/section, please repeat the same process as you did with your first fanfiction.
K=Kids (Suitable for all ages. Content should be free of any violence and/or sexual themes.)
T=Teens (Suitable for teens, 13 years and older, with some violence, and minor suggestive but non-explicit sexual themes.)
M=Mature (Not suitable for children below the age of 16 with strong but non-explicit sexual themes and references to violence.)
MA=Mature Adults (Content is only suitable for mature adults. May contain strong explicit sexual themes and/or strong explicit violence.)
PLEASE NOTE: PER NEW RULES OF PROBOARDS, FANFICTION RATED MA IS NO LONGER ALLOWED ON THIS SITE! This is ProBoard's choice, not ours!
PER THESE NEW RULES, ANY FANFICTION THAT WE FEEL WOULD BE RATED MA WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! This is to protect our site.
Here are some examples:
VIOLENCE:
- Piper tells Phoebe that she had to kill Cole without going into details. (Rated K)
- Piper explodes Cole without the author going into details. (Rated T)
SEXUAL:
- Piper hugs Leo and kisses his cheek. (Rated K).
- Piper lies in bed with her clothes on and gives Leo an open-mouthed kiss. (Rated T)
Most Charmed shows would be rated T.
If we do not agree with the rating you gave your fanfiction, we reserve the right to edit that rating only.
9. Please also feel free to read and review other fanfictions posted here at ALTERNATE CHARMED--All the Possibilities--it's the best way to get others to read yours, although reading and reviewing other people's fanfictions does not in any way oblige them to read or review yours! Before reviewing, be sure to read RULES for REVIEWING FANFICTION
10. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a Private Message to Alternate Charmed or post it in the Suggestion Box.
