Subreddit Rules
- No Promotion of Fics on the Front Page: Submitting a Fic to the main page of this subreddit is considered to be promotion.
- Posting to the appropriate participation thread, most notably the Weekly Fic Showcase sticky, will keep the sub uncluttered and your fic on the front page for longer.
- The definition of Promotion can be found [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/wiki/subreddit/rules)
- Post to the Appropriate Topic: We have weekly threads for sharing fics, recommending fics, searching for a beta reader, sharing reviews and getting feedback on your fics (constructive criticism or positive reviews), etc.
- Please see the full list of our weekly threads [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/comments/spsxsj/sub_rules_faq_and_weekly_threads/) before posting a request. We also have a [Daily Discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/search/?q=daily%20discussion&restrict_sr=1&sr_nsfw=) for daily links.
- Posting Flairs: Please use the correct flair. When an incorrect flair has been used, the moderators will reflair the post.
- Add a flair after posting by clicking the 'flair' button underneath your post.
- All posts should be flaired correctly. Click [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/comments/spsvv8/flairs_how_to_use_and_definitions/) for description of flairs. **For "Lost Fic" flairs, include the fandom in your title.**
- Please report wrong flairs, and a mod will be able to manually fix them.
- Remember the human: It’s fine to disagree but please keep things civil and polite. You are welcome to have an opinion, however you are not welcome to insult people in the process if you are discussing something on this subreddit. This includes referencing information obtained from the user's profile. If you have concerns, bring it to the mods' attention.
- If you feel a user is not responding to you in good faith, disengage and report to the mods either via modmail or by reporting the post/comment.
- No Negative Drama: Subreddit users are expected to act in good faith.
- If you're targeting something or someone in a rant, your content will be removed. This includes ship wars, crusades against groups of fans, and shaming anyone over liking anything whatsoever.
- Derailing of topics, discussions or events is not allowed.
- Live and Let Live/No Bashing: We won’t all like the same things. Please be respectful of other users likes and choices when posting and commenting. If a topic is not to your taste, please use language that makes it clear that this is your opinion, and not a fact. This applies to every post, but topics specifically protected by this rule are:
- Fics * Fandoms * Genres * Tropes * Characters * Ships * Kinks * People (users, authors, readers, etc.)
- Please don't post in a way that will identify an author or reader.

- Original fiction, or an original story/idea that does not include a fandom * Fanart or Requests to find artists for fics * AI-written fics
- r/FanFiction is a space to discuss fan-written works. AI-generated works do not classify as fan-written works. Discussion of AI solely to help with grammar is allowable. Do not discuss the use of AI tools for anything else.
- We allow discussion of fanart when it ties into fanfiction.
- No Discussion of Fanfiction Commissions or any related topic: Discussion of monetisation of fanfiction is not permitted on this subreddit. This includes discussion over the legality/morality of commissions, discussion as to how much people charge and explicit mentions of a work being commissioned, including fan art. This subreddit cannot provide legal advice.
- Links to promoted products, including posting links to fics accessible only by payment, promotion of editing services, links to Patreon, etc. are not permitted.
- No Witch Hunting, Doxxing, or Trolling.: Violation of these rules may result in an immediate ban. Please report to the mods if you see anything that causes you concern.
- No Doxxing.** If the information in a post can lead to finding a person IRL, it will be removed. * **No Witch Hunting.** A witch-hunt is an attempt to find and punish a particular person or group, either on this subreddit or off-site, for their opinions or to blame them for something. * **No Trolling.** Being intentionally provoking or cruel will not be tolerated.
- Spoiler: Be mindful that **SPOILERS** for fandom releases are in effect for 30 days after official launch date.
- Please use spoiler code in comments. When you type: > ! Spoiler text goes here ! < without the spaces, it shows up like this: >!Spoiler text goes here!< * Post titles must be spoiler free. * All major releases will have a stickied Mod comment inside the **Weekly Fic Showcase** for fics with spoilers inside them.
- Content Restrictions: * This applies to threads and fics whether they're linked or on Reddit.

All will be removed. * Underage (teen + teen, teen + adult) fic must be linked with a clear warning, plaintext fic will be removed, discussions must have a clear warning. * Extreme or encouraged violence/rape fic, and excerpts of explicit smut must be linked with a clear warning.

- Spam, Meme, Repetitive and Low-effort Posts: Users can post to the front page only once every 8 hours to avoid clutter.
- Meme and low-effort posts (one-to-two sentences without a question) are not allowed on the front page and should be posted to the Daily Discussion thread. Memes can also be posted to [r/fanficwit](https://www.reddit.com/r/fanficwit).
- Although there is no restriction on posting the same topic, users are encouraged to search the subreddit before posting. On some occasions, the moderators may redirect to previous threads.
- Surveys: Surveys are allowed **only** if you do not ask for personal identifiable information of users (ones that could identify who they are in real life) **and** do not monetize them. For a more detailed list, please check the [expanded set of rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/wiki/subreddit/rules).
- If you have concerns or questions, please [contact the Mods.](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/FanFiction)
