Upload: It can take up to 24 hours before the entry will be
displayed on the site.
Your story title and summary must be rated G for all audience. No
exceptions.Chapter uploading are not longer allowed! Please do not
use this page to upload chapters and use the new chapter functions in the
left menu.You are only allowed to upload fanfiction and
non-spamming material. The following are not fanfiction as far as
fanfiction.net is concerned. Non-fic infractions will result in the
cancellation of your account.
Examples of non-fic:
Lists
Announcements (which includes Polls, Previews, Prologues, excerpts,
and etc.)
Disclaimers
One liners
Challenges, Author's Notes (put them in the fics) , Random Babbling
(i.e. question and answers, rants, opinions, reviews, thank you notes
and so on)
Examples of spam:
Multiple entries of the same material. There can only be one copy of
any unique story on the entire site. No exceptions. Crossovers are not
exempt from this rule.
Rewriting names of characters/locations of one story in order to
upload to multiple fandoms. Example: a story uploaded to 3 categories
and the only differences are the character names and/or locations.
Original entries cannot be fanfiction entries. The reverse is also
true. For example, an original poem cannot also be uploaded as a
fanfiction poem.
Everytime a FanFiction.Net staff has to remove
one of your entries the infraction is recorded. Once you reach a
threshold, you will automatically be banned from FanFiction.Net.
FanFiction.Net will only allow the upload of HTML, TEXT, or
Microsoft Word formatted files. HTML files end in ".html" or ".htm", text
files end in ".txt", and Microsoft Word documents end in ".doc". For Mac
users you must use Netscape for this uploading process and must manually
end the file name in either ".html" or ".txt' depending on the file type.
If you have Microsoft Word you can also save your document in HTML
format by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Save As". A dialog will
pop up and in the "Save As Type" drop down menu select "Web Page" for HTML
format and "Text Only" for TEXT formatted files.
Please note you
should avoid special characters, punctuations and spaces, in naming your
files.
If you do not have Microsoft Word and have an alternate
word processor the steps for saving your document to HTML or TEXT format
are very similar if not identical.
