    FANART & FAN VIDS
    In order to keep this forum from getting cluttered please follow some simple rules.

    1) ONLY ONE fanart thread per member. Please do not keep opening up new threads everytime you make another picture or graphic. This includes all avatars, banners,wallpapers, and other graphics.

    2) ONLY ONE video thread per member. If you make another video and want to show it off, use your same thread.

    3) Do not spam other people's threads. If you want to show something off then post on YOUR OWN THREAD!.

    4) There will be ONLY ONE general thread for avatars.

    5) There will be ONLY ONE help/request thread. Please do not open another thread for requests.

    6) Do not use this forum as a chat board.

    7) Please use URL tags instead of IMG tags for large images or post them as thumbnails.

    8) When linking to other people's fan art or fan vids, DO NOT HOTLINK. That means, link to the page on which it's found, NOT the image or vid directly. And ***especially*** do not post other people's fan art with the IMG tag!!

    9) Please remember we have a one week spoiler rule. That means you must wait one week after an episode airs before you can post about it on the regular forums. That includes images of recently aired episodes.

    10) We will allow spoiler images to be posted in the FanArt forum provided you put the episode name in your thread title so those who do not want to be spoiled know not to read it.

    11) Spoiler pictures and mini-vids may NOT be used in avatars since they will appear across the entire board. You MUST hold by the one week spoiler rule before you can place images from recently aired episodes in your avatar.

    12) Do not steal other people's custom avatars. Unless the artist specifically says you can use the images in your avatar you MUST ask before taking.

    13) Those who are caught using spoilery or stolen images or in their avatars will be PMed and asked for the removal. If the member does not remove the image a board Administrator will. Repeat offenders will be banned.

    Anyone coming here and posting someone else's art work or videos as their own will be permanently banned from the board without warning.

    FAN FICTION
    These rules are modified from the original ones from the old boards.

    (1) You may post fanfic, fanfic challenges/ideas (if you don't like to write but want to see a certain story written), poems, songfics, comments about fanfic, round robins, and almost anything related to fanfic. Don't post song lyrics, no matter how perfect they may be for the show, unless it is within a fanfic, or you have modified the lyrics to fit the show or something.

    (a) Do not post fanfics for Buffy, Smallville, or other characters from comics, TV shows, books, etc. unless they are crossed with Supernatural or Supernatural characters.

    (b) All fanfics should be rated G to PG-13 or you cannot post them. In the future, if we have a demand for it, we will create an adult section for adults only. Until then, there are no exceptions. Which means if you can't see it on network television, you won't see it on these boards. We are NOT above editing posts or deleting threads.

    (c) SLASH IS ALLOWED. That means that you may come across stories here that have same-sex romantic relationships between characters. Anyone caught flaming (insulting) the author, people who enjoy such stories, or homosexuality in general will be AT LEAST warned on the first offense. Please keep these stories to their appropriate categories.

    (d) All characters in your story must be strictly fictional. Because the actors and production team of the show visit this board, for legal purposes we do not allow RPF (real-person fic) of ANY kind to be posted on this board. This includes inserting yourself, a real person, into the story.

    (e)The following subjects are disallowed outright here on Kryptonsite in ALL FORUMS:
    * incest - sexual situations between family members
    * "chan" or pedophilia - sexual situations between adults and minors
    * pedo-erotica - sexual situations between characters under the age of 16, even if they are both consensual. This is still ILLEGAL to read in many countries, including Australia.
    * bestiality - sexual situations between humanoids and non-humanoids (aka animals)
    * links to other sites that contain the above topics.

    (2) Be nice to each other. That means constructive criticism only. Criticize the work, not the author. Also keep in mind that there are different writing styles and levels here, as well as people who may not speak English as a first language. You are not required to be Shakespeare to post your work here.

    (3) Also post your suggestions for how to make the board better. This thread would be the place to do that. Also post if you like the board, because let's face it, even moderators need love, too.

    (4) Stay on topic. Anything that isn't related to fanfic will be moved. There are other boards for other topics.

    (5) By posting fanfic here, you are saying that the fanfic (unless clearly noted) is WRITTEN BY YOU. If you are posting someone else's work you MUST have permission from the writer, and it must be noted in the body or subject line of the post. PLAGIARISTS WILL BE BANNED WITHOUT WARNING!!

    THE FOLLOWING INFO ***MUST** BE INCLUDED IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE:
    Title - (Pairing or Characters in parenthesis) Rating, spoilers or warnings.

    SOME SUGGESTIONS:

    (1) If you want feedback, let the readers know what you want, ie grammar help, characterization, dialogue, etc. If you just want comments, say that too.

    (2) Run your fanfic through spell check. There is even a spell-check on this message board.

    (3) Write your fanfic offline in a word-processing application. Save it. Copy the entire text (control + A). Open up a "New Message." Title in the Subject line. Control + V (Paste) in the Comment field.

    (4) If you are posting your story in installments, please post all your chapters to the same thread so latecomers don't have to hunt all over these boards for the earlier sections. There is an Edit function if you want to post the entire fic at the top of the thread as well.
