To help keep the forum neat and tidy, we have decided to impose a limit of 30 chapters on all future stories. Stories that exceed this limit tend to become cumbersome, and difficult to read in this format. We may make exceptions on a case by case basis, but it will be strictly at the moderators discretion. Authors who have stories in progress that exceed this limit, should seriously consider wrapping up their stories.
We also are asking authors to limit the number of pictures they post with their stories. While a well placed picture or two can greatly enhance a story, too many tend to distract from the story line. Also, please remember that many of our users, myself included, still use a dial up connection and excessive pictures seriously increases the time it takes us to load/view the stories. Posts containing excessive pictures are subject to having the pictures deleted at the moderators discretion.
This also applies to links to pictures in Fan Art. While placing one or two screen shots in Fan Art, can be an effective tool for drawing readers to your story, it is not intended to be a substitute for posting your story pictures. So far the admin and mods for that forum, have let this slide. Continued abuse, may cause severe pruning in that forum as well.

[b]To help keep the forum neat and tidy, we have decided to impose a limit of 30 chapters on all future stories. Would I be able to make a part two of my story, or would that not be allowed?

My dear friends and authors, I again get some problem with my Internet modem and provider!!  So, I can't be here except time to time  and I must ask you to be patient as I'm not able to comment your stories for now! (I'm using the computer of my office,I can't stay for a long time  ) I hope it'll be fixed and to be able to come back soon, because I miss your stories!! Not to worry Laurence, the Authors will gladly wait for their Favorite Fan Fiction Enthusiast to again return to reading and commenting on their stories.

Hmm, maybe i am kind of lengthy in my stories, but i do not like the limit of 30 days, so perhaps could ldw send the story to their email or something, or perhaps maybe an archive of old stories, because i love my stories. We certainly want to encourage authors to write stories. The 30 day limit is not how long you have to finish a story, it is just that you must post a new chapter at least once every 30 days.It has been our experience that if authors don't post a new chapter every 2 or 3 weeks, the fans tend to rapidly lose interest in the story. After 3 to 4 weeks, the authors themselves lose interest and the stories languish unfinished. In the old forum, there were literally dozens of unfinished stories, many of which had been there for over a year. When we set down to revamp the forum, we decided to impose a few rules to help both the authors and the fans. The 3 basic rules to encourage both finishing stories, and to keep fan interest are:
- An author can only have 3 stories in progress at a time.
- An author must post a new chapter at least once every 30 days.
- Stories are limited to 30 chapters (replies).
