| Fan Fiction Commandments |
| 1 - Thou art a fanfic writer, not God. Unless thy name is that of the show's creator, thy stories are not canon, nor are the characters all thy own. Disclaim them as such. 2 - Honor the series bible inasmuch as you can. Do not change the character personalities without some great and powerful reason. 3 - Thou shalt not take the First Amendment in vain. Thou dost have the right to express thy opinion. One doth not have the right to do so simply to cause a flame war. 4 - Honor thy spellchecker and thesaurus. 5 - Thou shalt not release a story that another hast not proofread. 6 - Putting thy friends and thy self into thy stories can be vastly entertaining for all. Telling the world all thy fantasies through thy character is a little disturbing. Telling thy fantasies about thy friends through thy character could be grounds for stalking charges. Use thy best judgement. 7 - Thou mayst commit adultery with thy characters as thou might please, but thou shalt post a "Mature Readers Only" warning. 8 - Thou shalt not use another author's characters in thy stories without permission. 9 - Thou shalt not play in another author's (or authors') universe without permission. 10 -Feedback is thy greatest friend. Learn to both give and take it constructively, and thou shalt live long and prosper mightily. |
