Community Info

Community Information

Below is information about the "Overheard in Fanfic" community on LiveJournal. To join this community, click here. You may leave the community at any time.

• The line must originate in fanfiction. Not original fiction, not somebody talking about fanfiction.
  
  
• No mocking. This is a community for squeeing about good stuff, not mocking the bad.
  
  
• Quotes must be original to the author. When in doubt, Google.
  
  
• You must credit quotes by linking the story and giving the name of the author. Also a good idea to include the fandom so people know which Captain Jack is being talked about.
  
  
• If you do quote from a locked/private story, ask for permission. Let us know you got permission by adding "QWP" to your post. Publicly posted stories don't need it. Quoting locked stories without permission is a bannable offense.
  
  
• Got several quotes? Don't spam -- use one post.
  
  
• Use the LJ cut and warn for spoilers or anything rated NC-17. Hint: Homosexuality is not automatically NC-17. (That said, this comm probably isn't worksafe.)
  
  
• Keep 'em short -- if we have to click the scroll bar, it's too long.
  
  
• Don't quote yourself. Don't have your sockpuppet quote you. That's just sad.
  
  
• You've got 100 characters to set-up, comment on, or explain your quote if you really have to. That's the allowed length of a title slot, in case you need a shortcut.
  
  
• Plz to be tagging. Entries need to be tagged in the format: "fandom: *fandom name*, author: *author name*".
