Four Leaf Fics:How to submit

If you are an author and want to add your own content to the wiki, here's a quick guide.

Formatting
Mediawiki has a few useful formatting tools that can help with formatting your fiction better to Pastebin permits. You may format your work as you wish, even to the point of geocities gore.

==Heading 1==

===Heading 2===

====Heading 3====

Bold

Italics



Note that a new line/paragraph requires two line breaks. You can quickly convert all line breaks into double line breaks with this tool.

Multiple spaces used to indent as the start of a new paragraph will cause that paragraph to have the  tag applied, which puts it in a grey box and a different font.

Tagging
Tagging is handled via mediawiki categories. A few types of tag are mandatory. If you fail to add these, someone will have to experience the misfortune of figuring out what they should be.

Rating Tags are Mandatory

Each fic has one of three possible ratings. When in doubt pick the higher rating.

Category:Safe - This content is tame enough that it would be suitable for just about anyone. Consider this the PG-13 rating. Violence may be present but only to a limited extent. Hard drug use shouldn't be present. Explicit content is right out.

Category:Questionable - This content is less tame. Consider this the Mature rating. Violence may be more prevalent. Hard drug use is permitted. Low level explicit content, such as sexual references, brief vaguely described sexual encounters and sexual attraction are OK.

Category:Explicit - This content is either outright pornographic, or contains extreme violence.

Other Tags that may be Mandatory

If a fic could be tagged with the following tags, they MUST be tagged with the following tags. This allows users to use the multi-category search as a blacklist for this content.


 * Category:Rape
 * Category:Bestiality
 * Category:Snuff
 * Category:Scat

More comprehensive tagging
While the above mandatory tags are the only things you are required to have, you should probably do better. The best way to connect readers with your work is accurate tagging. Consider the following.


 * Author Name
 * Genre
 * Fetishes (if explicit)
 * A length tag
 * A board/thread tag
 * If not an original work, the names of the characters
 * If not an original work, the name of the media it is based upon

Works with multiple chapters, prequels or sequels
In the case of submitting a work with multiple chapters, sequels or prequels, you have two options. The first choice is to submit all the chapters on the same page. In this case, the tags must reflect the entire work. The second choice, and likely to be better in the case of works with sequels or prequels, is to submit each on a separate page and link them to each other. As the author, it is your choice as to how you present these links. However, if a work has varying rating tags over it's legnth, you should consider specifying the rating of each chapter alongside the link to it. A suggestion on formatting given below.


 * Part 1: chapter1 (Explicit)


 * Part 2: chapter2 (Questionable)


 * Part 3: chapter3 (Explicit)


 * Part 4: chapter4 (Questionable)
