Single post in Pen and Paper - A Writers Clan
Forum Index > Other > Other Clans > Pen and Paper - A Writers Clan >
Welcome to Pen and Paper, the writers clan that has been around for years on Pokéfarm. Here we get together to talk about our stories and characters, to share writing tips and of course the things we wrote.
Welcome to all the writers of fiction and fanfiction, short stories and long stories, rhymes and poetry. This is the place for you.
First a special thanks to the previous leaders of this clan:
Clow who created the original clan, DuskAurora who took over after Clow, and HowlingCat who took over after DuskAurora.
We owe them a lot for making this clan and keeping it alive.
Every clan has rules, and this one is no exception.
If you have any questions about the rules you may always PM Loksfjoer.
So, would you like to join us? Just fill in this form:
For the writers who also enjoy roleplaying: there is a roleplayers clan called Written Adventures
The Rules
- All Pokéfarm rules apply.
- Be respectful to each other. We want this clan to be a safe haven for all writers, where we can talk about our stories and characters, request feedback or just share our excitement about an amazing piece we wrote.
- We do not bash any writing. Even if you think something is terrible, you can still give constructive feedback. Be kind and encouraging while being truthful.
- No plagiarism and respect the copyright laws. That means you may not copy/paste the work of other people without their permission. Being inspired by something is a different thing.
- Fanfiction is okay as long as it is transformative and falls under fair use. Respecting the original creator’s wishes would be nice. A work is transformative when you do something new or refreshing with the original content. (Example from the Pokémon fandom: Ash Ketchum has an adventure not seen in the anime, or we follow an original trainer character on their adventures) A work is fair use is when it’s transformative, but also not commercial (you’re not making money on it) and what you take from the original source is limited (you can’t copy an entire chapter and only make minor changes).
- We welcome writers from all ages, so please keep the discussion and snippets/stories you share PG.
- While this clan is PG, you can still share your 15+ with the clan and ask for feedback. You can do this by posting the story or the link to the story in the 15+ fanfiction or original fiction categories and post the link of that thread in this clan, but it must be clear where the link leads and the name of the link must be PG. If the feedback is PG it may be given in this clan, otherwise it should be sent in a PM.
- If your story contains sensitive topics or triggers, please use a double hide-box with a warning for the trigger, much like how you are supposed to post spoilers. If you link to the story, make sure to add the triggers in the post.
