General Writing Conducts:
- Spell check all stories and poems. There is no excuse for this. If you do not have a word processor that has the spell checking feature, use a search engine such as Google.Com to find one.
- Proof read all entries for grammar and other aspects of writing before submission. "Hot off the press" content are often riddled with errors. No one is perfect but it is the duty of the writer to do the best of his/her ability.
- Respect the reviewers. Not all reviews will strictly praise the work. If someone rightfully criticize a portion of the writing, take it as a compliment that the reviewer had opted to spend his/her valuable time to help you improve on areas that otherwise would not get noticed
- Everyone here is an aspiring writer. Respect your fellow members and lend a helping hand when they need it. Like many things, the path to becoming a better writer is often a two way street.
- Use proper textual formatting. For example: using only capital letters in the story title, summary, or content is not only incorrect but also a disregard for the language itself.
