This is
theboysofsummer, a community created to house and encourage the writing of baseball fanfiction.Go for it. Pick your players, and swing away! Write it, read it, post it, share it.
Rules and Other Stuff That Has To Be Said:
- We reserve the right to change or update the rules at any time.
- This community will contain adult material. If you are underage in your particular area/community/state/province/country, please do not read any further. If you stumbled on this community by accident and you really shouldn't be looking at it please hit the back button now.
- If you don't like Real Person Fiction (RPF) or same-sex relationships beyond friendship, you won't like this community.
- Flaming is unacceptable. Please report any questionable posts or comments to your mods, starfishchick or caruso. Constructive criticism is not flaming. Please know the difference before you ask a mod to intervene.
- Do not delete or screen comments. If you have a problem with something someone has said, report it to one of the mods and they will take care of it. (This rule does not apply to comments left to fics linked from personal journals.)
- Please include headings and disclaimers on any fic that you submit.
Par example
Title:
Series(if any):
Author:
Website (if any):
Pairing:
Rating:
Summary:
Disclaimer: - If you are posting material that includes triggers, "squicks", and/or otherwise objectionable or questionable material (such as underage sex, character death, rape/dub-con/non-con/etc., homophobia, drug use, etc.) label accordingly so those who don't wish to view such material won't accidentally stumble on it. If you don't want to spoil the content of your story, you can use this type of warning:
- Please LJ-cut all fic.
- Fic only, please! This is not a place to: post pic spam or icons (try gayingupsports / hot_sports_men or baseball_icons for that), discuss the game, trade rumours, the World Series, etc. These types of posts will be deleted. Challenges, bunnies (story ideas), and baseball fic discussion / meta are welcome.
- You may post community promos to like-minded fannish baseball communities or RPF communities which are baseball-friendly. General baseball-related community promos belong in communities like mlb or baseball.
- If you have a long, multi-chaptered fic please do not post all the chapters to theboysofsummer individually. Make a masterpost linking to the different chapters. Or if you absolutely must post all the chapters individually for whatever reason, please post no more than three chapters a day. Posting multiple chapters of a long fic (four or more chapters) in immediate succession floods the flists of community members who choose to view this community on their friends page.
- Posting non-baseball slash related spam of any kind (like so) is grounds for the deletion of your post and your immediate removal from the community. If you can prove you're not a spambot, you will be allowed to rejoin once the mods have confirmed you're not a spambot.
- Do not link to locked fic. Your stories should be available to the community at large. If you do link to a locked post, you will be asked to resubmit with a link to an unlocked post. If you refuse to unlock the post, it will be deleted. If you are trying to recommend a locked fic, ask the author if he or she will be willing to unlock it. If the answer is no, don't link to it. You only get one warning! If you refuse to unlock the posts, or ignore the mods' request, your fic will be deleted. It's not fair to expect community members to friend you just so they can read your fic. You will get two weeks to respond to the mods' request. If you don't respond, we're going to assume you're ignoring us, or you're not active on Livejournal anymore. We're not going to harass you about it. [10/19/09: Links to fics that were once unlocked but are now locked will be removed. Entries in which the content has been removed and replaced with a link to a locked post will be removed too.]
- Don't be a douche. Use proper netiquette with other community members.
- You are responsible for locking what you want to have locked. The community default will remain "unlocked" until further notice.
