Rules

If you believe somebody is stealing your work and trying to pass it off as their own then get in touch with a moderator immediately. We will under no circumstances accept plagiarism on this Wikia, anybody caught plagiarising somebody else's work will be permanently banned and all of their posts will be removed from this Wiki (including original work),no exceptions.

Don't worry if you do make any typos or grammatical errors, all errors can be fixed. If typos and/or grammatical errors are an issue for you I advise you get Grammarly, this writing tool will help you fix any errors in real-time and offer all available alternatives.

All stories must be written in correct English, make sense, and be readable. By this I mean, if English is not your first language, or if a word means something different in your country than it does in either the UK or the US then get in touch with a moderator to review your work after posting.

If you write a stories on this Wikia then that story automatically becomes available to all narrators, if you do not wish to make your story available for narrators then you must state this at the start of your post. story which have been posted on behalf of somebody else are exempt from this rule, instead, they must state that they **are** available to narrators, if you don't state that they are available they cannot be narrated.

If you have a story which you have written then you can safely post it here knowing it will be accepted, if you have a story you wish to post on behalf of a friend then you must first seek permission from them and then credit them at the start of the post. If you wish to post a pre-existing story then please read the Confirmed Authors page before posting, we have a list of authors who have given us permission to post their stories, if they're not on the list, speak to Crimsonsongbird about getting them on the list.

### **Narrating Rules**

1. ALWAYS Credit The Original Author
2. NO Monetizing Videos
3. If A Story Isn't Available, DON'T Narrate It

All the original authors were kind enough to let us post their stories on this Wiki providing these rules are followed. If a story is available for you to narrate it, then you must credit the original author in your video description.

Under no circumstance are you allowed to monetize any of your videos if the story was written by anybody but yourself, yes, we accept that the actual narration is your own work, but the story you are narrating isn't, how would you like it if you wrote a story, posted it online for people to read free of charge, and then somebody recorded it on a Youtube video and was making money from your story? Please do not do this.

If a story isn't available for you to narrate, I will leave a note at the top of the page between the heading and the story itself, if a story contains this message, DO NOT narrate it.

As I said, all the original authors were kind enough to allow us to post their stories, and if you can't be respectful of their very fair request, you will be banned.

For more information regarding narrating, such as tips on editing or finding music and sound effects for your videos, please check out the Narrator's Corner.

#### **If A Narrator Breaks These Rules...**

1. Anybody caught breaking Rule #1 receive a ban until credit is given.
2. Anybody caught breaking Rule #2 receives a permanent ban.
3. Anybody caught breaking Rule #3 receives a ban until the video is taken down.
