Bandslash making your friends hate you? Find yourself looking up those pictures of Pete Wentz while your friends mock? Can name any band member at 300 paces and who they may/may not be sleeping with? Well, we're here to help. Not to take away the madness and the sweaty palms, but rather to give you a place to go bandslash crazy. Here is the place to give vent to your Bandslash Mania.
YOU CAN POST:
fic!
recs!
picspams!
icons!
challenges!
RULE TYPE THINGS:
1. Only complete stories are to be posted here. No WIPs (works in progress)! However, if you are starting a multi-chapter fic in your OWN journal and want to give people a heads-up, you can do one announcement post and one post when the story is complete. This way, people will have the option of following along or not, and the community remains unclogged and easy to read.
2. Please post stuff to your OWN journal, then make the announcement here. Do not post directly to the comm. This also helps keep the community looking neat, and helps us serve our duty as a bandom notice board!
3. Please do not link to locked posts. It's unfair to ask a community of nearly two thousand to friend your journal just to read your fic or to view your picspams.
4. Please include rating, pairing and any applicable warning(s) in all fic announcements. We're not going to institute a set format at this point, but please remember that people like info, and a lot of people won't read your fic if they don't know anything about it! The more you put in your announcement, the better it is for you, the author! (This is especially true for warnings--err on the side of too many if need be.)
5. Please do not put large images outside a cut-tag. Teaser images are fine, and work wonderfully for icon posts. If you're using a banner to announce something, that banner is cannot exceed 350x200 pixels.
6. All fic must have at least one main character from one of the following bands: All American Rejects, The Academy Is..., All Time Low, Butch Walker, Brand New, The Cab, Cobra Starship, The Dresden Dolls, Empires, Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Hey Monday, The Hush Sound, The Like, Mindless Self Indulgence, My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, Phantom Planet, The Sounds, Straylight Run, Taking Back Sunday, We The Kings, The Used, The Young Veins and associated bands*.
*Not sure if the associated band is acceptable? Check with a mod first!
7. No fic where the real-life children, relatives, or significant others of any of the people in the above named bands are the central focus of story may be posted. Exceptions are allowed if that person is well-known in their own right (for example: Keltie Colleen, Alicia Way, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz). Those who are not well-known can be in the story as characters, but it cannot be all about them.
If any of these rules are broken, your post will be commented on by a mod and then deleted. Posting is unmoderated so feel free to follow all the rules and try again if your post is deleted!
