General
-Don't troll.
-Be kind to everyone.
-Respect the admins. We have the power.
-Don't take anything personally, nor should you deal out personal comments.
Titles
1. Only one title can be claimed at any time. Additional titles can be claimed on a case-by-case basis, the criteria being how active you are on the site. Obviously there is some bias in this, but you must prove yourself on one title before being allowed to take two.
2. All claims must be public in the Claims thread.
3. Assume any genre, series, character, etc. is available. Non-Marvel/Disney characters will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
4. You may create entirely new concept and/or teams, but the series must have a 1:4 original to Marvel character ratio.
5. After six issues, an author MAY drop a COMPLETED story in favor of another.
6. An issue must be put up each month after you have claimed a title except for the month you claimed the title. You can still put one up but it isn't a requirement.
7. If you can't put up an issue for a specific month you must ask for an extension. It will usually be given, unless you ask for one for your first issue or ask repeatedly. However, we (the admins) are understanding. Just talk to us. We'll help in whatever way we can.
Claims
1. 20 characters per title.
2. Wallpaper is the only section that does not "count" for your limit.
3. Legacy characters can be used in any title as long as the writer who has the rights to the main legacy has given their consent.
4. You have to wait at least one month before reclaiming a title you dropped. If you're not active or have proven yourself unreliable it will take more time.
5. Hero is defined as the main character(s) of the story. Villains are the villains. Support are all the non-main hero characters e.g. Spider-Girl in Spider-Man. Undefined are the characters that could be considered either heroes or villains, or whose roles you'd like to keep secret. Wallpaper are the non-hero supporting characters tied to a franchise or previous important claim e.g. Aunt May in Spider-Man.
6. After two issues have been posted, you may make two additional claims every month a chapter is posted. Therefore you must have your issue for a month up before making a claim.
7. Co-writing is obviously allowed. Eventually if a writer proves to be too inactive but continues to want to claim a title, a co-writer will be required.
8. Avengers can not be claimed. It will be dealt with overtime by the admins and senior writers.
9. Important original characters can be used, but they must be claimed. Your maximum ratio of OCs to canon characters is 1:4. Minor OCs (i.e. wallpaper) needn't be claimed. However, it is encouraged that you use an established Marvel character, even if you need to reinvent them, for any role your story requires.
Guest Writing
1. You are allowed to guest write any number of issues of another person’s title as long as you have that writer’s permission.
2. Guest writing someone else's story doesn't release you from the obligation of your own title. An example would be if Drake wrote Fantastic Four in June/July, he must still write his issue of Spider-Man for those months. To get around this, we would suggest when you guest write to have the other writer jump onto your story.
3. If you are counting on someone to write your story and they don't come through, it's up to you to meet the deadline. Your title is still on your head.
4. You must have posted 5 issues in your title before a guest writer can be allowed on.
Reviews
1. If you have claimed a title then you are required to review at least one chapter in a story of your choice every month. Additionally, for every title you have claimed, you must review an addition title of your choice. This is to further build a community on this site.
2. If you review at least 2/3 of the titles by the end of the month, then you will be given an additional claim the next month. If you review everything then you get an additional two claims the next month.
Crossovers
1. Overt crossovers are not allowed until both titles are in continuity (5 issues).
