Rules

[ineedmymods]

• First and foremost, please read all the rules and the FAQ carefully before signing up. If you have questions you may either email the mods or comment here.


• Understand that you are signing up for a fiction exchange. This means that you get to request a story in exchange for writing a story. You can't just request to have one written for you, as nice as that might be, and not give something back. If you can't write a story in exchange, please don't sign up. If you say you'll write something in exchange and don't, you won't be allowed to participate in future exchanges.


• This exchange is open to all writers age 14 and above. Writers below age 18 may not request or write anything with a rating of R or NC-17.


• All stories submitted must be at least 1000 words in length, not including the required template information. Your submission's word count will be checked and if it falls under the minimum word count, will be returned to you for completion.


• No original characters allowed! Canon characters only, please.


• All fandoms from the realm of books, tv, movies, manga, or comic books are eligible (see the list of nominated fandoms here). You must request at least three fandoms; that gives the best chance of a match.


• Please have your story beta-read before submitting it. We won't be editing or proofreading your stories, so be sure it's what you want to see posted.


• All fics will be posted by your mods within one week after the submission deadline. Authors will be revealed when submissions are posted.


• Please refrain from posting your story anywhere else (your journal, any archive site, a friend's journal, the New York Times, etc.) until the exchange is no longer anonymous. Once that happens you're free to post your fic wherever you like.


• A template is provided for all submissions. Any story submitted without the template will be returned for resubmission.
