The Chamberlain’s Scrolls – Rules
1. Genre
Ancient Earth Games is a fantasy forum community, and is dedicated to the fantasy genre exclusively. Please refrain from posting personal writing that is classified as science-fiction, thriller/horror, western, or modern. Allowable formats are as listed:
- Novels and novellas
- Chapters, trilogies, series
- Journals
- Script and Screenplay
The only formats not permissible are poetry, and songs/lyrics.
2. No Fan-fiction Allowed
While fan-fiction is a wonderful method to express your imagination for an existing series, we at Ancient Earth Games like to read creative, innovative, and original material. Please do not post writing collections based on pre-existing fantasy series or novels (i.e. Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Raymond E. Feist, H.P. Lovecraft, Dragon Lance novels etc.) Certain authors prohibit use of the concepts, characters, and worlds within their novels. Believe it or not, this includes non-profitable fan-fiction. In addition, certain series and novels are subject to copyright, and disclaimers must be respected.
If you wish to submit a fan-fiction, there are several communities that permit this kind of story. An excellent example is Fanfiction.net.
3. Multiple Threads & Posts
You are welcome to request your own sub-board in The Chamberlain’s Scrolls. Notify a Moderator, Global Moderator, or Administrator; Send us a PM, with a link of your thread(s) and we will move all personal posts to your sub-forum, and notify you of its new location.
If a member possesses writing collections greater than five (5) threads, a staff member reserves the right to relocate your threads and posts into a sub-forum titled with your username. This prevents confusion in the message board, and organizes the forum. We will notify you of this alteration by supplying a link to your sub-forum.
4. No Replies
Please respect your fellow members and their personal writing compilations. If you wish to leave a congratulatory remark, a statement, or a critique, please use the PM system and send the member a comment. It may bother certain users to have their personal thread or sub-forum littered with remarks, and it is too messy and unorganized for the rest of the community.
5. Private Copyright
All posts are never to be distributed, copied, altered, sold, claimed or translated in whole or in part. These writings are for personal and entertainment purposes only. It is meant to be shared and read for enjoyment, so please respect the author’s arduous work.
6. The Ultimate Rule
Have fun
