Everybody’s here for a good time, so let’s try and keep it that way. We understand that rules can be tedious, but the ones we have in place are there to make sure everyone’s happy and the network can run smoothly.
GENERAL
Be kind. Don’t send hate or bully anyone. We have to deal with that stuff often enough in real life, so don’t bring it here too. If you do, we’ll have to remove you from the network.
Similarly, don’t discriminate against anyone for any reason, including, but not limited to, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, body type, blog size, etc. Anyone in violation of this rule will be removed from the network immediately.
All accepted members must have a link somewhere on their blog. We will give you one reminder before removing you from the network.
Let us know if you’re going on hiatus, so we can add you to your list. Blogs that are inactive for longer than two months without a hiatus warning, will be removed. Blogs on the hiatus list for longer than a year will have to reapply.
On a similar note, let us know if you’re changing URLs so we can keep up to date on where you’re at.
Seeing as we are a fic archive, we will only reblog fics (the specifics of which fics we reblog can be found in the WRITERS’ section). Similarly, we only archive/reblog BTS related content.
We believe in second chances so if you are removed from the network, you will be allowed to reapply again in two months. However, if you violate the rules a second time, you will be blacklisted from the network.
WRITERS
We only reblog new fics a) posted by affiliated writers and b) tagged with the official network tag #thebtsficarchive.
This includes member x reader, member x oc, and member x member fics.
Any fics that include the following will not be archived or reblogged by the network (you can write it, but we won’t touch it):
A) Works that contain sexual depictions of minors, pedophilia, incest, bestiality, rape, or vore. Additionally, works that display graphic descriptions/romanticize abuse, mental health issues, violence, or suicide will not be reblogged.
B) Any work that is found to be plagiarized. If you are found plagiarizing writing, you will be immediately removed from the network.
We will reblog one-shots, series, drabbles, and imagines, as well as, masterlists for series and teasers. We will not reblog sm!au’s, bullet point fics, masterlists of all your work or reactions.
Seeing as our goal is to archive all the fics on Tumblr, we only reblog/archive fics posted on Tumblr. Fics only posted on Wattpad, AO3, or any other website will not be reblogged.
All warnings must be stated at the beginning of the fic. Negligence to properly tag fics will result in a warning before you are removed from the network. If there are no warnings, simply write N/A. Fics without warnings will not be reblogged.
We also ask that you state the pairing and rating at the beginning of the fic. Fics that lack them will not be reblogged.
We ask that all writers have at least two (2) pieces of BTS related work over 500 words long before being accepted to the network.
If your fic is over 500 words, please put a read more cut. Nothing sucks more than having to scroll through a 10k fic on your dash. If you don’t, we won’t reblog your work. On the same note, please put all NSFW content below the cut.
Writers under the age of 18 who write NSFW content will not be allowed to join the network. Once you turn 18, feel free to sign up. Accepted minors who are found to be writing NSFW content will be removed. If we discover that you are lying about your age, we will remove and you will be allowed to reapply again when you are 18.
READERS
Readers can send in fics/authors we haven’t archived through asks. The same goes for fic feedback. If your feedback is longer than the ask character limit (500), you can submit a post. Any feedback we receive will be copy and pasted to a reblog of the fic along with who sent in the feedback.
All fic suggestions/fic feedback must contain the name of the fic and the author.
The archive will only post positive fic feedback. Any feedback that is negative or can be construed as hate will result in the reader being removed from the network.
If you aren’t 18+ don’t send in NSFW fics for us to archive or comment on NSFW fics. If you do, we will have to remove you from the network. You will be able to reapply when you are of age.
Readers are required to comment on a work at least once a month. If it feels like too much of a burden at any point, let us know and we will place you on the hiatus list. However, after two months on the list, you will have to reapply.
In order to keep track of who has sent in feedback each month, we require all asks concerning feedback to be off-anon.
CHAT
Be kind.
Be aware of people’s triggers. If someone says the safeword, "seagull”, please respect it and move to a different SFW topic. If possible, delete all offending posts. Failure to obey will result in your removal from the network.
The following topics are considered triggers and are not allowed:
Rape/non-con
Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, mental, or otherwise)
Graphic violence
Suicide/self-harm
Comments about body size and lifestyle choices (ie. how much someone eats).
Here at the BTS Fic Archive, we follow the rule “Don’t yuck my yum”. Simply put, don’t criticize something someone else enjoys. We understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion, but there is a time and place for everything, and intense criticism can be harmful to some people. Given the nature of this net, BTS automatically falls under this rule.
There will be a NSFW and SFW chat. Members under the age of 18 will automatically be placed in the SFW chat. Everyone else will get to choose which chats they want to be a part of.
The password for readers and writers is rainbowbangtan. Thanks for taking the time to read the rules. We really appreciate it.
Please don’t post NSFW content in SFW chat. If you are unsure if something is NSFW or not, send an admin or mod a direct message. If you post something NSFW in the SFW chat, you will be given a warning and asked to delete the offending post(s). Failure to do so will result in your removal from the chat.
We kindly ask you not to role play in the network. If you wish to do so, please move to your DMs. Similarly, any personal conversations between two members should also move to the DMs.
Other than that, have fun and make friends. You talk about whatever you want as long as you’re kind about it.
ADMINS and MODS
Admins and mods are required to have a blog that is 60% BTS related and have at least two (2) BTS fics posted.
The role of admin can be time-consuming and requires creative input, so we ask that all interested parties be willing to dedicate an hour or so each day to the network.
There is no previous admin experience required.
Admins are expected to help with the following:
A) Liking and queuing posts
B) Moderating chats
C) Archiving fics
D) Accepting new members
E) Providing creative input for various network events
F) Any other work that is required in order to keep the network running
The role of mod is less time consuming, but we ask that you still dedicate an hour or so to the network a week.
There is no previous mod experience required.
Mods are expected to help with the following:
A) Moderating chats.
B) Liking and queuing posts.
C) Accepting new members.
D) Archiving fics.
Seeing as we deal with NSFW content, both Admins and Mods must be 18+.
There will be a separate chat for admins and mods to discuss anything related to the network. It is required that all admins be a part of it and participate weekly.
Admins and mods are expected not only to follow the rules stated above but be leaders in how to be kind. If you feel like that isn’t something you can do, we kindly ask that you don’t apply.
If at any point being admin/mod becomes too much for you for any reason, please let us know. We would rather you take care of yourself than have a participant who is only half there.
The admin and mod password is “ROYGBIV”. Thanks for reading the rules!
There are limited admin and mod spots, so not everyone will be accepted. We ask that you respect our decision and understand we picked who we thought was best for the network.
- This chat is not an anti chat, however I did make it because I'm not up to snuff with digging through tons of porn and romance only to find one piece of nice platonic fan content once every millennium. And I'm sure there's some folks who would care to skip it as well. This chat is mostly a dumping ground for good fan content that doesn't relate to ships. Does that mean shippers aren't allowed? No, you can come on in but be mindful of what you want to share and what tags it has.
2. Be mindful of others!
- Do not post anything that could be rated above PG-13, I'm talking no graphic content at all! The IZ fandom is huge and some folks may not be comfortable with that or they may be minors. (This also includes swearing)
- Do not use this chat to start picking fights! I don't really care who's posted what on their blog before or what beef you guys have with each other. IAPO is a Deadman Zone, it's a gray area. You leave all your trouble out the door when you come in, I'm not your babysitter and nobody else is either so be polite or get out.
- Do not come into this chat planning to spam and be a jerk. What I mean is don't come in here spamming endlessly because you think you're defending your "rights" as a shipper or an "anti". This probably fits under the previous addendum but I wanted to make sure you can find it, just in case because really you can't trust the internet.
- Do not give out/ask for any personal information in this chat! True chat does get wiped basically every 24 hours however I wouldn't give that an inkling of it as a safety net. There are a lot of creeps out there on the net and while I don't want to fear monger you all, it's better safe than sorry. And if you come in here planning to creep on or harass anybody I will kick and report you immediately.
Well off the top of my head I think that's everything really important. The rules around here are pretty lax except for when you break them. And do remember I offer Zero Tolerancy so if you step out of line even once I will kick you from the chat (and depending on the severity of the rule broken I will report you). Perhaps it'll be safe to assume I'm always watching (because I have nothing better to do ahem).
Oh well I suppose one last thing
3. Have fun...
- It's just a dumb chat on the internet made for dumb reasons guys, it's nbd. Be stupid, go crazy, but don't overdo it.
So you’re really stuck on your type and want to discuss it beyond anon asks. Here’s how to do so.
(adapted from a prior post so if this looks recycled, it is)
What I expect from you:
1. I expect you to have done prior extensive research on your own. That means at minimum having read through all of my FAQ including the links and really I expect you to have done more than that. Chatting is an open-ended time commitment for me (within reason, see below) as opposed to the finite, more explicitly asynchronous ask system, and if you’ve been following this blog I think I’ve made it clear that I expect effort on your behalf. That means I expect you to have an idea of what information will be useful for typing, a solid grounding in what the functions are, etc. I’m not here to do your work - I’m here to clarify things and provide an outside and experienced perspective. If you ask things that I know I’ve answered on my blog a lot I might ask you to go do some research and come back later if you’re still confused (and I expect you to then go off and spend at least a few days doing research on your own).
2. I expect you to treat this conversation as a new one. If you’ve received different answers from other people, or even different answers from me when you’ve sent shorter asks with less context (especially if they were on anon), yeah, that’s going to happen. MBTI isn’t an exact science and there are a number of types that could result in the same behaviors. In particular, if you sent me a lot of “what kind of type does X”? “What kind of type does Y?” “What type does Z?” separate anon asks, I will treat those as separate asks from separate people, and my answer will indeed be different than if you had initially asked “Hi, I do X, Y, and Z, what type do you think I am.” So that’s why. I’m here to help you figure out your type, not do an indirect version of a debate with my past self or some other blogger. We’re not a hivemind.
3. I expect you to be respectful of my time. I prefer to treat this kind of as a back-and-forth ask box where I can get clarification from you, rather than a continuous conversation. Ultimately I’m a person with a day job and a personal life and this is something I do because I enjoy it. If you take advantage of this, I will ask you to leave. There are MBTI professionals who charge for their typing services; if you want someone to help you like it’s their job, please consider going to them.
4. I expect you to accept polite disagreement. It’s okay if you figure out your type on your own in the process, and it’s okay if we don’t agree. You know yourself better as a person than I ever will; my typing is limited by my experience and my understanding of you through the information I gave you. However, I’m not your rubber stamp. Please respect that you came to me as an MBTI expert, and if you feel that my expertise is not serving you well, you are welcome to offer constructive criticism. You are not welcome to insist I agree with you and if you do so you will be asked to leave immediately.
5. I expect you to respect my decision to say no to a request. More a logistics than expectation thing: I enjoy chatting about MBTI. I like Enneagram but I’m not as confident in it, so I will probably take a pass on intense Enneagram/Instinctual Variants chat requests. You can still always ask about these in the inbox.
In general: everything I do here is because I enjoy MBTI and I like talking about it with others. If I agree to help you, you can expect my honest opinion on what I think your type is and my reasoning behind it. If I don’t agree to help you you can expect a reason why. If you act as though you are entitled to my time or my agreement then I will end the conversation.
Here is my rules for roleplaying and chatting with me.
1. NSFW (I will only do this in DM's if anyone feels comfortable roleplay with me on this topic. If not then I will respect your wish. You not have to feel pressured into rping NSFW topics. We can just have a friendly SFW rp chat instead I am okay with that.)
2. SFW rp chat is allow and I would love to just do a family or whatever SFW rp chat with you.
3. Transformers rp ONLY! please I am currently focused on Transformers Earthspark, Prime, Animated (Yes I am getting into that last series of Transformers very late.) I will not allow other fandoms to be added into our rp.
4. My rp characters are
(1. Rezaphire my oc
2. TF One Jazz bondmate to Rezaphire
3. TFA Bee
4. TFA Prowl)
Those four are the only character I am rping as so please do not ask me to rp as any more characters right now.
5. My family are as follows:
(1. TF One Jazz Bondmate/Conjunx
2. TFA Bee (Carrier)
3. TFA Prowl (Sire)
4. @shadthchan052-blog aka ES Bee
5. @ask-earthspark-breakdown aka ES Breakdown.)
These five are my family and I hope to gain more family members soon. I hope that we can chat/rp in my DM's so please do not be shy and hop on over to my DM. If you are busy then that is okay we can rp/chat when you are available to talk with me.
*ALL READINGS* WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF 6 CARDS PULLED!
During some days, you may be able to choose your decks, but this is NOT always guaranteed. Readings may be asked to solely consist of tarot cards OR a combo of Tarot+other divination methods(including-not limited to Lenormand, Pendulum, Charms, etc.)~♡
*methods within the parenthesis are not always available*
1.Reading Time is Reading Time
-a variety streamer, I will be holding streams of a variable topics. Please do not ask for a tarot reading if the thematic is not tarot+metaphysical-centric~
2a.Queue Up;)
-it can be hard to keep up with the influx of querants at times
-the queue helps ensure that I get through all, if not-most of the querants
-the queue ensures your placement for my reading; without it, your reading may be side-lined
2b.Queue Up(additional info)
-Tips+Subs will influence and manipulate the placement of the queue line as a "Thank You"
-Subs will increase the placement by 1^ while tips will increase placement depending on the amount.
-In the case of tips, the minimum to achieve 1^ level is $5 and then +1^ for every $3 after. [Ie: a $12 tip will boost queue placement by 3^]
When your placement is affected by this, it becomes and "enhanced placement" *no visual indicator results from an enhanced placement*
-Enhanced queue placement is still subjected to [5. Attendance~☆] rules!!
3.Respect my Boundaries.
-every divination-reader uses different techniques and methods for providing their service.
Do not tell me I'm "reading wrong" because it's not what you do/ see what other readers do. If you don't like it, you can leave~
-I do not like to work with questions that deal with legal issues, very serious* mental help, and working with deities or the dead.
-if you should ask a professional of a given field; you should not be asking me.
4.Multiple Readings+Double/Triple+ Dipping
-widely depend on how active the chat is+how filled the queue is
-during slower days, up to 2(and 3 in some cases) questions may be helped per queue placement; more questions will require a re-entry to the queue
-on more active/busy days; choosing the most desired question will be asked of the querant
5.Attendance~☆
-please be aware of your placement within the queue
-failure to respond when your name is called after a few minutes may result in a "skip-over" to the next querent
-multiple "skip-over"s will result in a kick from the queue (with the amount depending on how busy the stream is), requiring re-entry for a reading
☆Private Tarot+ Readings☆
Dsiclaimer: "For Entertainment Purposes Only"[All prior-listed reading-related rules still apply here.]
-inquiries can be processed+worked out on my server
I do this as a hobby-side, so for now:
$7 per Reading [6 cards minimum per entire reading] [up to 3 total questions, 1 main question+2 related questions][done over Discord DM's]
Or
$15 dollars for a chatty tarot read [over discord voice call] for 30 minutes. [Minimum: 5 questions] [I'm an incubus but I'mma smul introvert so bare with me <...<]

are my service-packages.
