You can talk openly about Body & Relationship issues as long as it pg and you don't bashing others, imposing your own views on others and posting generally useless comments with judgmental undertones basically respect for others. If you do not have anything PRODUCTIVE to add to a thread, then simply do not reply. You do not have to respond to EVERY thread in a board. Adding sarcastic comments are not productive comments.

The Writer's Corner board is where all writers write stories, novels, fanfictions, poems.ect. Also writers can post casting call (casting members for their writing), ask for plots ideas or get feedback about their writing. Writers when your fanfiction or story is finish please edit your post and put (com) in the title and then I will post the whole thing in the fanfiction and stories archive forum and please keep all write pg 13 and under.

The Writer's Corner Board's Rules

1) Post only in English

2) No vulgarity, profanity, s*x stories, pornography, etc. Try to keep everything posted here at an PG-13 rating or lower. If you have an R rated story (or higher), feel free to tell others about it, but we ask that you do not post a direct link to your story. And please identify the rating in the subject line.

3) Long Story per author. Do not keep starting stories and not finishing others. My advice is if you get another idea, type it up in Works or WordPad and post when your other story is finished.

4) You may have up to 5 short stories at a time. We don't want one author taking over the whole board.

5) If your posting a collaboration with another member, try keeping it to 2 collabs' at a time.

6) NO FLAMES. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Criticism is welcome, as long as it is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, not just omg leik, ur story sUx!

7) And lastly, have fun!

Remember we hold the right to delete/close any story I feel isn't appropriate for the board.

Role playing stories and cooperative stories

Role-Play (RP) Stories
An RP story is one is which several writers work together to write a single narrative. Each of the writers assumes a character and writes the thoughts, speech, and actions of their own characters. These types of stories of usually handled rather seriously, which each writer devoting lots of time to character analysis and story progression. The writers often converse outside of the story to discuss the direction of the story and its characters. The story is mostly decided before it is written.

Cooperative Stories
This is also a story written by several writers together. The difference is that each of the writers can write for each of the characters. These types of stories are generally very casual and free with not too much story structure. The story is written down as it goes. Little or no planning takes place before the writer adds her/his part. The end result is usually something of a surprise.

Rules for posting in either type of story!

1. Read the first post of a story before adding to it!! Rules for that story will be posted there.

2. Follow those rules.

3. You should ask permission before adding to a story, unless the first post states that all are welcome.

4. This site is rated PG-13, so post accordingly.

Rules for starting a new story!

1. Please specify whether you are starting an RP, or a cooperative story.

2. Post all rules you want for the story in the first post.

3. Stories should be rated no higher than PG-13.

4. Don't start an RP, unless you can stick with it to the end.

Now get out there and start writing.
