Fanfic Rules:
Here on Coruscant's lower levels, us spacers like to trade tales of some places near, some places far and sometimes in galaxies far far away. But even in this rough and tumble assortment of casinos and cantinas not just anything goes.
First, we don't appreciate slash, smut or libel. That junk belongs down the commode in the nearest 'fresher.
Second, when you post any fan fiction, say at the top whether it is an a collaborative work (Round Robin) or something you are working on yourself.
You don't want someone jumping in on your story. And make it clear whether you want comments on your work while you are writing it or if you wish all commentary to be saved for after you are finished with your masterpiece.
Third you may either choose to follow canon, or not. Many of you will and many of you will not. Some of you will take the best from both and combine them in fresh new ways and some of you may do entirely new things with the characters, sometimes giving them entirely different lives and backgrounds.
Fourthly, while this is primarily a Star Wars based fan fiction site, you are by no means limited to Star Wars. You could do a Star Wars/Star Trek crossover even, or write nonfiction....the sky's the limit!
Fifth, please keep keep swearing to a bare minimum. Preferably the single letter with the dashes or stars following or a simple blue streak such as #$@!, for example.
Sixthly, be civil, have fun and
7) The Force will be with you. Always.
PS there is just one more little rule which is by no means a "little" rule: No Light side character is allowed to be depicted as using magic-black or white- or any form of witchcraft or wizardry in any of your stories. Magic and witchcraft are in the Clone Wars established to be owned by the Dark Side. The Dark Side warriors the Night sisters were depicted as using voodoo and other forms of magick and Palpatine was shown with a witches' brew. This is allowed for in Star Wars there must be a clear demarcation betwixt good and evil. Shamanism is also witchcraft and the fact that the Beings who taught Yoda and QuiGon how to achieve eternal life are called Shamans of the Whills is NO excuse for making shamanism the way it is practiced by evil sects of Native American Indians in the United States a part of the behavior of Jedi or other Light Side users. Fire gazing is only allowed to benefit a Light Side force user if a tribesman or woman throws a substance INTO the fire before the visions begin. Firegazing without this CRUCIAL element is demonic and deceptive. If a Jedi looks into a glass to see an event it should not be called a crystal ball but in all cases the novel term 'Urim' must always be used. It is another name for the breastplate the Hebrews used to forthtell the will of the Gods. Ciou.
8) There is no rule here against 'necroposting', so don't even worry about it.
(Definition of 'necroposting': (Internet) To post to a long inactive discussion thread (on a forum). )
9) If you try hacking, you will be caught and your hack post deleted.
Rules for the whole website:
10. Be civil. No flame wars, or angry arguments. Treat everyone here with kindness and respect. Don't fight. Play nice.
11. Try to stay on topic as much as possible with the thread you are on but lots and lots of cross topic threading is allowed, such as it is definitely allowed to discuss theology and religion in philosophy or socrates-plato-aristotle threads or vice versa, for examples, etc. Use your best judgment. I'm not likely to ban you for straying off topic, so don't worry too much about it.
12. ABSOLUTELY no porn at all and try to lay off the WORST vulgar language, such as f--- and c--- and such and such. I'm not going to ban you for swearing, but could ban you for continued overuse of the worst most foul language you can muster. Keep that in mind. Porn is an instant ban. Smut and an overuse of slash is also very frowned upon. No smut at all is allowed. A qualified allowance of slash if it is just used to be funny such as saying there's a lot of cross dressers in the cantina, etc. But blatant overuse of slash is not allowed so don't go too far with it. Always try to paint it in a bad light like its the abnormal behavior that it is when you do use it, if you can. However there is a major difference between smut and sex-related humor in a humorous story -just don't cross the line or try to push the bounds too much. No sex-related stuff at all is allowed in a serious story, unless it is only implied and not at all shown. The only nudity I will allow in videos is historical like old paintings of Adam and Eve, Egyptian hieroglyphs that show a little bit of bare bosom, or nude statues in Greek ruins, etc., or justified nudity in hell paintings, etc., but not PORN. PORN is, repeat, an instant ban and you all are smart enough to know the difference.
13. Religion, preaching, proselytizing your position, whatever your faith or even no faith is allowed in General Discussion. Do NOT bring up anything having to do with anything related to Covid-19 unless you are talking about family members or other people who either, got it, died from it, recovered from it, etc. Do not bring up any Covid treatments. Don't discuss vaccinations or HCQ or masks, etc or an any of those things because Covid-19 is topic forbidden and we don't want to upset anyone.
14. Listen to each other and learn from each other instead of feeling that you have to be right. It is better to get along than to be right.
15. HAVE FUN!!!
16. May The Force be with you!

The following are a few rules in addition to the other rules. Some are repeats, some are not. I try to be lenient as possible and relaxed but I'm no pushover so don't cross me.
[VIRTUOUS]BrentSohlden — 07/09/2021
I don't like too many unneccessary rules and overregulation. That's why all my internet spaces have simple rules: Be civil, no porn, don't promote LGBTQ+ and don't do anything illegal. And no true spamming and trolling. No other rules are ever really necessary. Using a little slash for humorous effect in a humorous story I do not consider promoting the LBGTQ+ agenda, unless you overdo it. (For example I feel the exchange between Potato and Fun in The Force Awakens humorous Version in the beginning, when they meet is too over the top slash so don't repeat it, but i will not change Lazy K's comedic scenes in that HV, for that is his intellectual property. However there will be NO MORE slash THAT over the top in ANY HV or story for that matter, and Rainbow is NOT repeat NOT a lesbian character. She's just very colorful.
17. PS If you are a believer talking to an atheist, DO NOT insist that he believes there are no gods. This is a slap in the face and an insult to him for to him the word believe or belief is not a part of him or her. He or she has no belief at all, not even belief that there is no God, so don't go there. Please respect him or her and don't accuse him/her of having any belief at all or insist that the person does, no matter who is right or wrong. Respect an atheist's RIGHT to have no belief at all if that is his/her wish and he or she may be more likely to respect your RIGHT to be a believer. Sometimes we witness more in what we DON'T say and in how we behave WAY more than in being pushy, so keep that in mind. Pushiness never did convert anyone in all of history. That does not mean you cannot boldly testify of what you do believe in, whether you are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or a Believer in Christ. Just don't be overbearing, and please do show all people the respect due them as human beings. Everyone needs love, respect and self-worth.
18. As I said to my mod Imagicmaker, there are some more important rules y'all ought to keep in mind: Although we generally dont ban for swearing here, if people circumvent the language filters and talk pure smut (not just sex humor, I mean something that can allure and arouse) then a few warnings then a temporary ban will be issued. Do not circumvent the language filters unless you have good reason for doing so, for example if you want to say in your Journal that you had a sex u al dream last night, to convey that information withour the word sex u al turning into the word stimulating, just break the word up int three parts: sex - u - al. However many times most of the words my language filter is designed to catch should never be used anywhere on this board at all, so please keep that in mind, and please don't DESCRIBE that sex u al dream you had unless you find a very tame way to describe it, that is NOT enticing, alluring or smutty.
19. Same goes for fighting, name calling ad hominem attacks, pure libel (not just exposing actual corruption but saying totally untrue things about anyone), pornography vids and pics, and doing anything purely illegal. I don't care if people double or triple post or post a whole lot of threads at a time, that is never an issue. Also impersonating a celebrity unless it is a parody is uncalled for.
20) This is primarily a star wars fan fiction board. Please designate each story (canon), legends,(EU) or Alternate Universe(s) (AU) or non star wars (non sw) or star wars non star wars/sw crossover (crsvr).
21) if your story contains spoilers, please warn in the title or OP.
22) if you run out of room in the thread subject for these designations, then please indicate them in the first post of the thread, also known as the OP [Original Post].
May the Force be with you!
