Guidelines
Put your story in the right category. Please be sure to place your story in the appropriate category with the proper rating, genre, story type, warnings (if any) and with a descriptive summary to set it off from the rest of the stories in this Archive.
If you need a character or category not in this archive already, please e-mail us or ask on the forums and we will try to have it added in within 24 - 48 hours.
Give your story the right rating. We provide six different ratings for stories.
Please avoid interrupting your story with notes or messages. Reader insert blanks, footnotes, and parenthetical citations are fine, but please place most author notes and comments at the beginning or end of stories.
Be Patient. The people who run this archive have lives too. Most of us are college students and may have other responsibilities that are more important than reading fan fiction the moment you post it. It can take anywhere from 24 hours to 2 weeks for us to get to your story
IMPORTANT!!!!: Your story must be formatted in html (Or at least have paragraphs in html) otherwise, we can't read/post it. If you need a tutorial on HTML, click
