Hahli Husky Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Short Stories Rules and Guidelines In addition to the BZPower Rules and Guidelines, we have a few special rules for this forum. Before you dive into the Wonderful World of Fanfics©, make sure you go over our guidelines. Let's keep this forum classy! NOTE: This topic's tag will always reflect the date it was last updated. The "Edited By" line at the bottom of this post will describe the latest changes made. 1) This forum is for serious stories that only require ONE post. Please note that stories with multiple chapters belong in Epics, while humorous and "goofball" stories go in Comedies. If you wish to use your already-posted short story as the first chapter for an epic, PM the Short Stories Leader and they'll move your topic to Epics. 2) Only BIONICLE and LEGO stories are allowed. If your story is completely unrelated to Bionicle or LEGO, put it in Off Topic Culture. 3) Don't post multiple chapters as separate topics. Those belong in a single topic in Epics. 4) Short Stories are replied to and commented on within the story thread itself. 5) Topic revival is allowed. If you want to review a story, and the last post in the review topic is over a month old, you are still allowed to post! 6) No flaming or shaming. Don't forget the site's zero tolerance for flaming and trolling. Please refrain from posting hurtful replies like "This was stupid!" or "Wow, this is awful." If you don't like a story, please respectfully share what you didn't like, or walk away. 7) You may have just one topic that is a collection of all your fanfics in the BZP Library, and it must be in Short Stories. Even if you haven't written any short stories, please keep all collection topics in this forum. Said topics may contain links to stories on both the old and new forum versions. 8) Plagarism is not tolerated in the BZPower Library. It's obvious that you shouldn't copy another member's story and paste it into your own topic. However, taking a member's story and changing the character's names, rearranging the sentences, and/or replacing words the member used is not allowed, either.Please note that each complaint of plagiarism will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes a member is ripping off of your plot ideas and sentence structures, and other times you two may have just conceived similar ideas. The forum leaders will be glad to help you figure this out. Useful Links: Short Stories LibraryShort Stories Contest History Thank you for abiding by our "house rules". Happy writing, everyone!

Now that we have a fancy new creative forum in the COT section, you may have a library topic there for non-LEGO stories, and a library topic here for LEGO stories!

Mel Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have a question: before we weren't allowed to re-post old stories because they were available on the old forums. Well, the old forums don't seem to be running anymore. Is this a temporary problem?

If it doesn't come back soon enough, I have already been thinking about letting people repost old stories. EDIT MUCH LATER: People can now repost their old stories since the archives won't be coming back.

Kessen Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 For a collective stories topic, I would want to link all my stories to a topic titled something like, "Kessen's Story Collection," or some amalgam of that, correct? Or is there a more specific format I need to use?

-Windrider- Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) You're correct on the title - something like that should work. For the format, no, there's nothing specific, but you may want to check out some examples listed here for inspiration or reference. (Note - some older topics' formatting may be wonky.)
