The complete set of
bloodclaim community rules can be found on the
profile page, but here's the basics:
1. This is a SPANDER community. Not a Spike or Xander community. Not a James or Nicky community. SPANDER. Content posted here should reflect that, be it fic, recs, art, picspams, fic searches, beta/info help, etc.
Threesomes are allowed, but need to be Spander +1, not Xander/? + Spike, or Spike/? + Xander. Spander Spander Spander all the way.
I'm not pointing fingers or appointing blame, and neither should anyone else here, I'm just... gently reminding you. So I don't have to get uppity and delete stuff. I hate doing that; it makes me feel mean. Please don't make me feel mean, 'k?
2. Searches for Spander fic are allowed, but please, if you know the title and/or author name, try Google first. If you have an url that no longer works, try the Wayback Machine. It's linked at the top of the community front page, right below the banner: Links > Wayback.
3. Use your headers. Provide a summary so readers know which fic they're about to dive back into. Use warnings where appropriate, even if it's something you don't mind not being warned for. Others might. Give your fic a rating.
PLEASE provide links to previous chapters. You can create a master list in your journal, create a list in the body of the chapter post, link us to the relevant section of your memories or to the story's tag, whatever works for you.
New members join all the time and need to be able to access your older chapters before they can read your new ones. Older members (me, for example!) have trouble juggling multiple WiPs in our creaky, leaky brains and need all the help we can get. ;)
4. If you're not sure that your post is right for this comm, please ask me. You can PM me, email me or leave a comment on a mod post. Same goes if you think someone has posted something that does not comply with the rules. Let me know! It's what I'm here for. :D
Thank you all for playing nicely and continuing to share the Spander love. ♥
And now for something a little less serious...
I was going to ask if it was worth me making a Spander Kink Meme post here, but I did a little poking about and discovered
whedonkink, which needs more love, so get over there and prompt, fill, pimp it to your flists! Where has all the Josslove gone?!
