Writer's Conference Forum Rules

Hello and welcome to the Writer's Conference! Do you fancy yourself a writer, a master of the written word looking to show off your talents? Or maybe you're new to writing and are looking to get some feedback? Then you're in the right place! But before you get to posting your pretty prose, there are a few forum rules we need to cover.
  • All works posted must be your own work. Plagiarism is a serious offense which we do not take lightly here on Menewsha. Be advised if the moderation staff finds plagiarized work, serious action will be taken.
  • All posts outside of the Hangouts forum must be in English. You may not post foreign language stories. The only exception to this is if a character occasionally speaks a foreign language, however it must be brief.

  • Please remember that Menewsha is a PG-13 forum. Sex scenes and excessive, descriptive gore are not allowed.
  • You may create an additional thread provided the work is completely separate from the last story you posted. However, if you are looking to post a bunch of stories at once please contain them within the same thread.
  • When posting new updates to your story, please do not needlessly spread the text out amongst multiple posts. This is a form of abuse of the gold earning system and will not be tolerated. If you wish to post your newest updates but only have a small amount of text so far, you may do so, but you must edit your next update into that post as well. If you're not sure what a significant update is, 3/4 to a full page of text in Microsoft Word is sufficient.
  • Please be respectful of the other users in this forum. Remember, Menewsha is a place for fun! We want this to be an encouraging, enjoyable forum, so to enforce this, flaming someone else's works will be not be tolerated. Constructive criticism is encouraged unless the user has said they do not want any.
  • You may not offer to sell your stories for gold or real money.

What Belongs Here:
  • Short Stories
  • Works of fiction
  • All-in-one threads (short stories, poetry, drabbles, etc. all in the same thread)
  • Writing contests are allowed here, however we would strongly suggest you put them in the Contests and Giveaways Forum.
  • Discussions about writing in general
  • Threads asking for help with general feedback or details of your story
What Belongs in the Subforums:
  • All forms of poetry (including song lyrics) belong in the Poetry forum.
  • All fanfictions (stories involving characters from a TV show, movie, book, etc.) must go in the Fanfiction forum.
  • Drabbles and Round Robins have their own forum.


What Doesn't Belong Here:
  • If you wish to talk about other people's published works (such as Harry Potter), including poetry, please do so in the Books Forum.
  • If you wish to discuss a published manga, that belongs in the Comics/Manga/Anime Forum.
  • If you wish to share mangas that you have written and drawn yourself, you may in the Art Post Forum.
  • Diaries, journals, and life experiences may be posted in the Menewsha Blogs or Memory Jar Forum.
  • A list of your OCs (original characters) is not permitted. You may post them in your Menewsha Blog, however.
