Community Profile

I felt it like starting a complete new Deathstars Community would be a good idea.
A community being about the Deathstars boys and slash. No het, if it isn't a part of a story that will include slash too.



Rules;

1. When posting, stay on topic. We don't want to see posts about your cat or how bored you are. We don't care about this song you wrote, or that you need inspiration. We want to see fanfiction. We want to see the guys' pretty faces. Please steer clear from anything other than this. Even posts explaining why you haven't updated or the like. If your post comes off as too off topic, it will be deleted.
Though if you're looking for a BETA you're be allowed to ask about it.

2. Post all fiction under an LJ cut. With fiction, make sure to describe what it is, who the pairings are, the rating, etc. All too often I'll see a cut to a story that I know nothing about because some of this information is left out. Please include it all, especially warnings. If your story has a death at the end that you don't want to reveal, at least say your story is a tear jerker. Not everyone likes to be tricked into a death fic.
Pictures are allowed if it means it is the banner, though some sort of word is then needed in the picture and not just a plain regualr picture.

3. Do not argue, bitch or whine if something doesn't go the way you like it. Instead of fighting with another member, just stay away or come to us about it.

4. When leaving feedback, be nice, but be constructive. "OMG I LOVE IT" doesn't help the author, it just boosts their ego. While this is good at times, the author will never improve if they don't know they're not perfect. On the other hand, do not put down someone's writing just because you didn't like it. Even if it sucks, leave the most constructive review you can without insulting the writer or the work.
Obviously you do not have to write constructive feedback in every comment if you're not in that mood.

5. Find A Fic posts are okay, but make sure to add something slashy in just to keep it all right. Usually posts where a response is given will be deleted after a little while.

6. Spell check. Spell check. Spell check. Use a beta reader. If you're looking for a beta reader, try to find people that are willing to help you out with this by asking in the Authors Note of your story.

7. Don't rip off anyone else. Be creative, share, all those great things, but don't be petty. We want things to be creative and different around here. And with Deathstars it is always easy to be creative.

8.WHEN POSTING A COMMUNITY ADVERTISEMENT:
-Advertise your comm in moderation. Once a week being the max.
-Don't beg. Begging doesn't make people want to join.
-Make sure your comm is creative and different from everything else we see. That will draw in a bigger audience.
-Spellcheck. Spellcheck.
-Make sure your links work.
-Have SOMETHING slash related. It's not that hard to have something slash related but try to not use pictures that everybody have seen at least 58 times the latest days. Also, ALL information must be placed behind a cut.

9. Don't spam the community with updates. I can understand wanting to update your story twice in a day, but over that is just annoying. Even with reviews that say "update RIGHT NOW", I'm sure they'll live until the next day for you to get a new chapter up. If there are more than three updates of your story in one day, you will get a warning.

11. Have fun, and if there are any questions or comments, please contact the maintainers.
