GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSIONS

Fiction and Art Submission Guidelines

CFWC is here to support creators and connect fandom members. We want to make sharing your creations here as simple as possible, but we need your assistance. We recommend that creators include the following items in their posts. It is the creator's responsibility to provide these details.

If information is missing, we will work with what is provided. But if the required information is not present, we cannot reblog.

FIRST: PLEASE READ OUR POSITION ON AI-CREATED WORKS.

FIC/ART MUST INCLUDE:

1. Pixelberry Choices Story (Required) 2. Characters and/or pairing (Required)

Main Characters or Pairing: the main person or pairing fic is about. > Use "x" for romantic pairings (John x Mary) > Use "&" for platonic pairings (John & Mary) > F!MC or F!OC for Female / M!MC or M!OC for Male / NB!MC or NB!OC for Non-Binary. If not indicated, we will list as MC or OC only. NOTE: Some prefer gender coding, but CFWC does not require it. Tag your characters as you wish; we respect your choices.

3. A "Read More" page break (Required) Posts that exceed 2 mobile screen lengths will not be reblogged. Please use a "Read More" page break for longer posts. If you need instructions on how to add a page break, please see here. We will reach out to creators to request this be added one time only. After that, the creation will be shared via a link on our weekly lists but will not be reblogged.

FIC/ART SHOULD INCLUDE:

Ratings/Warnings: We strongly suggest you provide a rating for your fic. Rating guidelines can be found below the break. NOTE: If this information is not provided, we will still reblog the fic, and it will be up to the reader to determine whether to read the work or contact the creator for more information. In the case of 18+ Material, if we are notified that a fic with mature or adult content is posted without a rating, we reserve the right to take our reblog down.

PLEASE SEE MORE INFO ABOUT RATINGS/WARNINGS BELOW THE BREAK

RATINGS:

This is the preferred rating system

G: General – appropriate for all audiences. T:  Teen – appropriate for teens and older adults. M: Mature Content – content contains topics that are not explicit but have themes that are more appropriate for adult audiences.  These are considered appropriate for ages 18+ only.  These fics should also contain trigger warnings. E: Explicit – content contains explicit sexual, violent, or other content.  They are only appropriate for ages 18+.  These fics should also contain trigger warnings.

WARNINGS:

If your fic contains topics that could be troubling to others, please include warnings.  These may include but are not limited to death, major illness, mental health issues, suicide, sexual harassment/abuse, violence, drug/alcohol use, homophobia*, racism*, sexism*, etc.

*PLEASE NOTE: These triggers will apply if these topics are addressed in the fic.  We will not promote fics that endorse any of these things.  We cannot read every fic, but if we are made aware of any fics that do, we will remove them, contact the author and Tumblr if warranted.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Triggers are very specific things, and no one can be expected to know everything that might trigger someone else. If you’re not sure if you can read something, reach out to the creator directly to ask further questions. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to send an ask.

Does CFWC require MCs are tagged as F!MC or M!MC?

No, it isn't a requirement.

We feel that each creator should do what they're comfortable with. It's their choice, not ours and we certainly wouldn't exclude anyone over that.

If you'd like more information, please see Guidelines for Submissions or at All About CFWC.
