Date: Mon, 01 Jun 1998 09:07:24 -0700 From: Rauhnee Ranshanka Subject: {SKAD} KATMIN: Posting Update Fragit. This list *is* too quiet, even if there are only eight souls on it. I'll post something none Katmin as soon as I can clear out my backlog messages (300+) and write it up. In the meantime. Adult Fanfic's allowed until the majority screams about it. (To me, privately and remember I'm a writer) Complete scenes only please. Adult content stories only please. The rest belongs only in the FanFic Quarter. Love the pics though, keep them coming. -------------------------------------------- For my sanity and the dousing of potential flames, please use the following format for posting FanFic. Adult, that means erotic, stories/ scenes only! -------------------------------------------- *** Skip a line between paragraphs. *** Don't use non-standard characters ('curly' quotes, long-dashes). If it's not on the 101 key keyboard, don't use it. *** The Subject Line. Please use this formula for stories, and try to keep it under 36 characters: STORY:(Story Title).(rating) Story Title: either the complete title of the story or a chopped version on depending on length (remember to try to keep the entire Subject Line under 36 characters). Rating: Just so we're all playing by the same book, I've included descriptions and listed out what each ratings means. I know at least a few people out there will likely disagree with it, but deal with it ok. No one has ever been willing to list out what each rating means (and I've asked several times), so I know that at best almost no one has more than a general sense of what they are. I'm spelling it out for everyone so we're all reading from the same page here, but if there are additions or suggestions, I'm happy to take them. PG-17: What you're likely to hear and see on the street of a major city. Any story containing kissing, implied intimacy, or death (unnamed character type). R: Detailed kissing (tongue), none graphic sex (any type), somewhat graphic violence, nudity, detailed insanity, implied rape/ murder/ incest/ bondage/ domination / sado/masochism / legalized crime, and/or low-detail psychology that accepts any of it. Minor character death. NC-17: Detailed sex (any type), graphic violence, and/or none graphic rape/ murder/ incest/ bondage/ domination / sado/masochism, and/or detailed psychology that accepts any of it. Major character death. X: Graphic rape/ murder/ bondage/ domination or sado/masochism. Sick minds take advantage of someone. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *** Part 0 (a blank form is at the bottom of this message). Fill out this for and put it at the begining of all FanFic posted. Title: The full title of the story. Author: The author's name or psudoname. Email: the author's e-mail. Rating: (PG-17, R, NC-17, X) See above for definitions. Date: Today's date. Category: What categories the story fits under (see below for descriptions). Disclaimers: The standard legal mumbo-jumbo to keep the lawyers at bay. Example that you're welcome to use: The SWAT Kats belong to Hanna-Barbara, no infringement intended and no physical profit gained. Notes: Any author notes about the story. This includes, but is not limited to, why you wrote this (inspirations), if it is in response to a Challenge, any thanks to beta readers or others, why it was reposted (if it is), what you thing might be wrong with it (for EDIT), and the like. Also here should be any notes about the temporal placement of the story in relation to the show (how many years before or after, or between which episodes). Summary: A short (as in one or two sentence) summery of what goes on in the story. Warnings: A list of the warnings (see below) that apply to the story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *** Categories. For much the same reasons as Warnings, please include the Category(s) the story belongs under. Many stories will fall under several categories, please list all appropriate. Alternate World Alternate Fate Burn Your Face Off Challenge responses Crossovers (please indicate what other series are involved) Drama Episode Related Filk First Times History Holiday stories (What holiday) Humor Poetry Plot? What Plot? Romance RPG Technology/ Philosophy *** Category Descriptions: Alternate World: The Series (or a large chuck of it) did not happen but the characters we know are there. This can be taken almost anywhere, from what they did in Dark Side of The SWAT Kats to a complete historical rewrite where Callie is a SWAT Kat from the beginning to Jake and Chance never got kick of the Enforcers and SWAT is an official unit. It would be good to include a quick orientation either in the part 0 post or as part 1 so everybody understands what is going on. Alternate Fate: The Series did happen, but the story is about another residence(s) of the world, not the major ones from the show. Examples would include stories about Chop Shop (or any villain) that does not directly involve the major players, Enforcers we don't know the names of, the lives of kats that have to survive this but aren't intentionally on the front line. Burn Your Face Off: Stories that are particularly sexually intense/arousing, above and beyond the norm for NC-17. Challenge responses: This story was written in response to a CHALLENGE posting (someone asking for a cirtain type of story). They will almost all have a second category. Crossovers: Kat's meet ... Just mention the other series involved. Drama: The stock and trade of the show. Episode Related: A story that directly continues, rewrites or fills in the gaps in an existing episode. Please mention what episode(s). Filk: You make up your own words to an already-existing song. First Times: A relationship between major characters has a major breakthrough of some kind (good or bad). History: Stories set before the Series begins. Holiday stories: Stories written with a holiday in mind and obvious. Humor: Funny stories, not to be taken seriously. Poetry: SWAT Kats poetry. Plot? What Plot?: Basic sex scenes, little by way of plot or lead up, that kind of thing. Romance: Relationship grow and develop with a good touch of sensuality. RPG: Stories that involve the RPG characters and not the show. Technology/Philosophy: A story where technology or philosophy is the primary component and the central focus of the story. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *** Warnings Many people want to be warned about certain content categories, and courteous authors heed those wishes. I've tried to think of all the categories one can warn against, but if you have anything to add, please tell me. Episode Rewrite (name episode) Missing/ Rewritten Scene (name episode) Alternate Universe (History, Other Reality, Sci-Fi) Explicit Sex (any kind) Implied Sex (any kind) Masturbation M/F Relationship M/M Relationship F/F Relationship Incest (implied or detailed) Rape Non-consensual sex Death of major character(s) Death of minor character(s) Death of insignificant (unnamed) character(s) Bondage/domination scenes Sado/masochistic scenes Extreme violence Extreme language Betrayal of a major character by another Any form of racial or cultural prejudice directed at or by the major characters, and likely anyone else. This includes, but is not certainly limited to homophobia, anti-Semitism and religious fanaticism (additions to the list wanted). Don't step on anyone's toes without a warning first. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subject: STORY:(Story Title).(rating) *** Part 0 Blank Title: . Author: . Email: .
