Subreddit Rules
- General Rules: Please read **and follow** our [Standards and Expectations](/r/hfy/wiki/ref/standards_and_expectations) for posting. Read the rest of the rules. Check out our [FAQ](/r/HFY/wiki/ref/faq) for info on posting stories.
- If you are searching for a specific story, please use the built in search function or check the [Classics](/r/hfy/wiki/ref/classics), [Featured](/r/HFY/wiki/featured), and [Must Read](/r/HFY/wiki/ref/must_read) lists before making a post.
- No Writing Prompt or Looking For Story threads: Post all writing prompts to the latest [Writing Prompt Wednesday](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/prompts) thread (see sidebar for link). Do not post any writing contests. Additionally, do not post any "looking for story" requests that are simply disguised writing prompts. Post all "looking for story" requests to the latest [Official LFS thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/lfs) (see sidebar for link).
- Do not say that a post does not belong in the sub: Do not comment that a post is "not HFY" or suggest that it does not belong in the sub. If you have concerns with a post, please [message the mods](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FHFY) instead of posting a comment reply. See our [Standards and Expectations](/r/hfy/wiki/ref/standards_and_expectations#wiki_don.27t_call_a_story_.22not_hfy.22) for more information.
- Flair your post: Apply the appropriate [flair](/r/hfy/wiki/ref/guidelines) to your story after posting to make it easier to find certain types of posts. The [bots](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/tools) will not comment if your post does not have the correct flair. If you include the flair in brackets in the title, Automoderator will apply the flair for you.
- Do not redistribute/plagiarise another's work: Do not republish or reproduce another author's work without [their permission](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/standards_and_expectations#wiki_author_permission). This includes converting stories into an ebook format and making it available to others or recreating the story in audio/video format. Once you have obtained an author's permission, please directly state it in your post. Plagiarism of another author's work is a bannable offense.
- Max 4 posts within 24 hours: Limit yourself to posting at most 4 posts within 24 hours of each other to avoid having one author take over the front page. If you are trying to post a single story as multiple parts due to character limits and it would require more than 4 parts, please [message the mods](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FHFY) **first** so we can approve it.
- Standalone Advertising/Off-site hosting: We do not deny an author's need to promote their work, however we do require this only be done in a relevant context. Any link not otherwise associated with an OC post must have a summary or similar descriptor that fulfils rule #8, providing relevant OC information. Standalone posts which serve only to advertise wares, commercial or non-commercial, will be removed.
- Effort & Substance: Any original story posted on r/HFY must be written by the poster and at least 350 words in length, excluding any links, preambles, or author's notes. Low-Effort Karma farming posts will be removed
- AI generated stories are allowed. Creative works that are shorter due to the chosen medium (i.e. poems) will be adjudicated on an individual basis.
