Subreddit Rules
- Post titles must be specific; no memes or crossposts : People reading the title of your request should be able to figure out what you're looking for without reading the body of your post. Titles like "looking for recommendations" are not specific enough.
- Requests based on another book, movie, TV show, etc. should mention more than just the title of that other media in the post title.
- No image-, meme-, or crosspost-based requests or discussions.
- See our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/wiki/index/rules/) for info.
- Book requests must be specific and follow our guidelines: Book requests must be specific and request something that cannot be found with a simple search of the subreddit.
- An acceptable book request includes one or two specific elements you're looking for, beyond a trope or subgenre.
- See our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/wiki/index/rules/) for the full text of this rule. It has more elements than what is listed here.
- No disallowed self-promotion: Authors may not post about their own work, solicit feedback or advice on their work, or initiate discussions on the writing process, except in these places:
- Weekly Chat and Thanks post * Monthly Author & Writing Space * The comments of the daily New Releases and Sales post * In response to book requests (max once per 7 days)
- Authors posting about their books in these places **must disclose** that they're the author.
- Book influencer self promo is also not allowed, see rule detail
- Be respectful & non-judgmental: Being respectful and non-judgmental means maintaining our sense of community:
- Don’t be rude, snarky, or unnecessarily argumentative with other users.
- Don’t shame or criticize others for liking tropes or content that you do not enjoy.
- Don’t make comments that explain why you don't like certain situations, activities, kinks, body types, or personalities in a way that could be read as judging or shaming real-life people.
- No discrimination, bigotry, or microaggressions towards marginalized groups: All forms of discrimination are prohibited here, including racism, anti-queer bigotry, and microaggressions like invalidation, denial or derailment.
- Having posted to subreddits with a negative reputation is not necessarily grounds for an automatic ban, but users whose posting history contains bigotry will be met with intense scrutiny. Posts that violate this rule will be removed, and may result in a ban.
- Respect the privacy of others and keep discussions limited to reading: Do not share any personal, private, or confidential information about other users, and do not start discussions that are primarily about real life (including your own).
- This includes:
- Non-public information about authors or celebrities
- People who remind you of romance characters, or other discussions focused on real people
- Speculation about others’ identities or sexualities
- Discussion or links to “real-people fiction”
- Crossposts to stories on other subreddits
- Mark your spoilers: Plot spoilers must be marked with the spoiler tag.
- However, lack of a happy ending (HEA/HFN) is not a spoiler, and is required in some cases (see rule 15).
- Spoiler tags for new Reddit, old Reddit, and mobile are typed like this:
- \>!text goes here!<
- No piracy or AI content: Do not link, explain how to access, or ask for creative work that has not been authorized by the rights holder:
- This includes unauthorized books in epub, PDF, or other formats and unauthorized audiobooks.
- Any external link to original content must be on the creator’s own site or properly attributed.
- Any artwork, including book covers, must be posted with credit to the author.
- AI-created content is not allowed if there is proof or verification that the content is AI-generated.
- No sexual content involving minors or animals: Due to Reddit's sitewide
- #4, books containing explicit sexual content involving minors (anyone under age 18) cannot be discussed in this subreddit.
- Explicit sexual content involving animals or “bestiality” cannot be discussed in this subreddit.
- Posts and comments violating this rule will be removed. Repeat violators may be banned.
- Referring to a book indirectly without saying the title (e.g., "Author Name has a book but I can't say the name") still breaks this rule.
- Post and comment etiquette rules: Please do your best to make your posts and comments accessible, searchable, and useful:
- Post camping (comments used to bookmark a post for later) is not allowed.
- Posts with excessive emoji use or caps lock may be removed.
- Swear words, triggering words, etc. should not be censored (e.g., write "sex" and "rape" instead of "s3x" and "grape").
- See our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/wiki/index/rules/) for more information on this rule.
- No complaints about author identities or over-generalizing about author or reader genders: Low-effort complaints about women writing MM romance are prohibited and will be removed without notice.
- Posts that over-generalize about author or reader gender are subject to removal at the moderators' discretion.
- Please see our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/about/wiki/index/rules/) for the full text of this rule.
- Disallowed post types: We do not allow certain types of posts:
- standalone posts for anything that is not a genre romance.
- rant- or complaint-based discussions or low-effort complaint posts about specific books.
- standalone book sale or deal posts, except for official sales or deals involving many authors.
- Please see our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/about/wiki/index/rules/) for the full text of this rule and more explanation of each category listed above.
- Karma and frequency rules for creating posts: To create a post in this subreddit, you must have:
- At least 25 reddit karma, AND
- Some karma (less than 25) from commenting in this subreddit.
- The following guidelines on posting frequency also apply: * no more than 2 posts per user per week * no more than 1 post every 3 days
- Users who make frequent posts may be asked to limit their posts.
- Please see our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/wiki/index/rules/) for the full text of this rule.
- No misuse of the "Quick Question" flair: Quick Question posts should ask small questions looking for factual information, not opinions.
- Please read our [rules page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/wiki/index/rules/) for examples of appropriate Quick Questions.
- Focus on genre romances: This subreddit is for discussion of genre romances.
- Book requests focused on non-romances are not allowed (see rule 12).
- Do not recommend non-romances in response to book requests unless the requester has asked for them. You must include a no-HEA warning.
