Who likes articles? I do, I do!!! There is nothing I find plus satisfying here than lire a good article that gives rise to a great discussion. Below I have everything toi need to know about articles to get toi écriture and get the discussions started.
Rules for articles and article Comments
1. First and foremost, as with the rest of the spot, NO SPAM! If I see any spam articles ou commentaires I will rapporter them on sight....yeah...I'm mean about spam.
2. Please keep your articles relevant to the series...this goes hand-in-hand with the spam. No, Harry Potter doesn't make an appearance at Camp Halfblood and I seriously doubt that Whisty Allgood was spotted on Mt. Olympus so I don't want them to be a topic for an article...they have their own livres and their own spots.
3.Grammar and Spelling, people, grammar and spelling. Please try your hardest to use proper grammar and spelling. I know that we all make our mistakes, and sometimes not even a spell check will catch everything, but try your hardest. If toi need someone to read it before hand I will be glad to go over it and éditer mistakes.
4. I will not have any rude remarks in an article ou in the commentaires to an article. I will rapporter these on site. No one, and I mean no one deserves to be treated in an ill manner. If toi don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all.
5. Constructive criticism and débats are very much tolerated and welcome, but they mustn't be rude in any way.
6. Vulgarity, such as lewd subjects and curse words, is not allowed...there are only certain instances in an article that I will allow them. We will discuss those in a few minutes.
7.If toi are donné a warning par an admin, just like on the rest of the spot, toi are expected to follow their instructions. Not heeding the words of an admin twice in a row will result in a report. Three reports on fanpop means a ban from the site (not just the spot), so please try to follow the rules and listen to the admins...you can find a complete liste of the admins in the rules for the Heroes of Olympus spot.
8.Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. Whether it be in the article itself ou in the comments, if I see it I WILL rapporter it! If toi are going to use someone else's words give them credit for it.
9. Spoilers will be in effect for two weeks after the release of new (sample) chapters and for at least 2-4 months after the release of the books. If your article contains spoilers please put a spoiler alert in both the titre and in the description, and don't put any revealing information in those two places. Failure to follow this will result in one warning. If a seconde warning is needed I will simply rapporter you.
10. FANFICTION MUST GO IN THE FORUMS!!! All chapter fics must be posté in the forums!Only short stories, ones that are finished in one chapter/article,are allowed to be placed in the articles section. Any stories placed in the articles with multiple chapters will be reported as spam ou miscategorized content!
Ok so there's some basic rules. Now onto other business, that is to say, the who, what, when, where, how and why of article writing.
First off, you'll notice that there are categories in the article section. Let's discuss each.
Opinion- This is what 95% of the articles on the HoO spot are. Pretty much, this is where articles about your theories, ideas and such go.
Review- Have toi finished lire one of the livres and toi want to give your thoughts about the events that occurred? This is where toi do it. Reviews should be factual, but a little opinion never hurt. This in no way, shape ou form is where toi post your predictions for future books.
Guide-This is where only fact is accepted. If toi want to give everybody a rundown of the characters, ou a description of the plot line you'll put it here. Also, rules posté par the admins will be posté as guides and new information about upcoming releases will be posté here par one of the admins.
Fan Fiction-This is a special article because most fanfiction is to be placed in the forums. Only short stories, ones that are finished in one chapter/article,are allowed to be filed under this category. This is the only one of the article categories that vulgarity will be allowed in, but it must be properly rated like the regular fanfiction.
List-Oh! So toi want to liste out the important places ou toi want to make a checklist of things a young demigod should take on their quest? This is the place to do it...
Other- This is a catch all for everything that doesn't fit in the other categories. Again, please make sure it is relevant to the spot and the series.
