I’m really new to this site and to fanfics as a whole and I’m about to write my first ever fic. The idea for the story came to me from a silly warrior name I thought of but I really liked it and kept developing it, I now have a full outline of what I want to happen in each chapter and how it happens.
Because the story I have in mind has a creepy/dark topic as a major plot point (it’s pretty much one of the subjects of the fic), I wanted to ask some questions.
1. Are there any restricted subjects or topics to talk about or mention in fan fiction?
2. Is there a format or guidelines that need to be followed when writing and uploading a fic to this site?

Everything must be kept PG-13 because of ProBoards’ rules. You can view them here: www.proboards.com/community-guidelines There’s no format that I know of for posting fan fictions. Everyone has their own way of creating a layout or just posting plain text. It’s all up to you. |

Thanks for the reply!
It doesn't seem like whatever I have in mind goes over these rules so I'll start writing soon. nvm, some places regard it as R21 if it is an explicit depiction so I won't write about it for the time being.
Have a nice day/evening/night!

General rule of thumb. If you aren’t sure, it’s probably not allowed. If you need a refresher on what PG-13 entails;
“PG-13
PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. SOME MATERIAL MAY BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13.
A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.”
This is in regards to motion pictures, but the same concept applies to roleplays.
