A very little known and (un)advertised ruleish-type-thing is the review topic. Since very few people know about it (it is a newish concept to most,) I've gotten permission from Moonstar to make a thread detailing them.
What is a review topic? A review topic is a corresponding topic where comments on a story are to be placed, should the author make one for thier story.
An example is as follows: SnowClan: War of Three SnowClan: War of Three Review Topic
What goes into a review topic? Here is a list of what I (personally) would put into a review topic: -Story summary -Character list -Links to banners and such -Credits
Keep in mind that is my personal RT -- you can have whatever you want in it, so long as it relates to the story.
There is one thing you msut have in your RT, however, and that is a link to the story (the story topic must also provide a link to the review topic at some point.) This is for navigation purposes, and is completely required.
Do I need to make a review topic for my story? No, you do not. However, I'd like to point out that, if you have a review topic, it is much easier to read the story, as there are no chapters mixed in with the reader comments. The review topic is a way to organize the comments from the chapters.
Do I need a moderators permission to make a review topic? Again, no. It's your choice completely.
Hopefully this will clear things up enough for eveyrone. Further questions may be PMed to me.
