Guest ∂materasu Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 LENGTHAll chapters must be at least 2 pages in MS Word with single spacing, standard margins, and size 11 Arial font. This applies to all fics, regardless of being serial or one-off. There are a few exceptions to this rule, though:Pro/Epilogues: Considering that these serve as teasers or to tie loose threads up, they are not required to be at this standard.Drabbles: A drabble is unofficially defined as “a quick piece of writing, often from a prompt, that is used to develop a specific scenario or character.” They are always one-shots: however, not all one-shots are drabbles.Poetry: Justification not needed.Taken from the section rules.Also, this is supposed to be in Q&H.

TheRealOulch Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 if you read it, you obviously see its leading up to something so being a prologue doesnt go by the length requirement, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 if you read it, you obviously see its leading up to something so being a prologue doesnt go by the length requirement,If it's a prologue your posting then it's not a chapter. Post after you've written the chapter and it won't get locked. /simple. More importantly:SCRIPTS/SCREENPLAYSAlice: Hey, Bob! What's up?Bob: Nothing special, Alice.Fics written like this are forbidden, for they show little to no description of the setting and characters. However, full-blown theatrical screenplays with stage directions and all are allowed, provided they could theoretically be given to two random people on the street and be acted out without any confusion.

bury the year Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 The more important question is why you're whining about it here instead of reading the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
