Welcome to the Danny_Jordan Community
Welcome!
The intention of this community is to be a clearing house for all DannyJordan shippers. Come here for Fics, FanArt and icons, spoilers (behind the cut of course), gossip, and more.
Obviously, members are wanted! Other Studio60 communities who want to affiliate, please comment.
(If you're unsure how to join livejournal or this community, view the tutorial.)
Moreover, posting is encouranged!
OFFICIAL GUIDELINES
Thank you to house_cameron for inspiring these rules.
First: If your post was deleted and you're not sure why, re-read the rules. Most likely, you did not follow the guidelines. If you think you did, and you believe it may have been a misunderstanding, send us an e-mail and we'll work it out! We could have made a mistake, too.
1. Use a Cut or Link
All fics, spoilers, posts with large images, and other long posts need to be behind an LJ-cut. Learn about an LJ-cut here: here.
2. Ratings
Please rate all your fics. We’ll use the system:
G = General Audiences
PG = For material you think might be inappropriate for children under 13.
R = Violence, sexual situations
Adult 18+ = Adult
If you are posting anything that is considered ADULT (i.e. only adults over 18 can view it), you MUST put it behind a cut and CLEARLY label it Adult 18+. This label must go BEFORE the cut. If you're not sure if your material is adult, label it ADULT anyway.
3. Stay on Topic
We all have interesting stuff to say, but that’s what your livejournal is for. This community is for Danny and Jordan, and to a lesser extent for Studio 60 in general.
4. Avoid Duplicate Posts
Before posting news, gossip, or spoilers, check to see if someone has already scooped you to avoid duplicate posts. The reason for this is that we can have a more coherent discussion in the comments if it’s not scattered between posts.
5. Friends-Locking
If you are posting any fanmixes, music videos, etc., FRIENDS-LOCK your posts. This is how you F-Lock:
When you post, you have the main area where you type in your post, and then below that are several "questions" with drop-down menus. The first one is labeled "security" and that's where you can select 'Public', 'Private' or 'Friends.' FRIENDS is the one you want to choose!
If you are requesting help to see an episode or clip, FRIENDS-LOCK YOUR POST and use a cut. Please keep in mind LiveJournal’s terms of service:
You understand that all Content, including without limitation, all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, or other materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated.
6. Respect
Please be courteous and refrain from flaming. Or you will be bounced.
7. Post Format
For Fics:
Let the subject line of your post read “Fic: Your Title Here”
For the body, use the following template:
Title:
Author:
Rating:
Pairing:
Warnings:
Summary:
Link or Cut to the story.
Please tag your fic post with the tag: fic
It is very nice for your fans if you make it easy for them to find the other parts of your multi-part fic! The are many ways to do that. Perhaps the best is to link to part 1 in every new post, and meanwhile edit your old posts to include a link to the next part. Alternatively you can link to EACH part in each new post.
For FanArt:
Let the subject line of your post read "FanArt: Your Title Here". Please limit yourself to three teasers for icons, plus one teaser for larger art.
FanArt includes icons, other images, fanmixes, vids and the like.
Please tag your post with ONE of the following tags: icons, fanart, or vid
If you post a vid you must friends-lock! See Rule 5.
For Spoilers:
Let's keep everything behind a cut or link for sure! Let the subject line of your post read "Spoiler: Your Title Here."
Please tag your post with the tag: spoilers
For Requests and Favors:
Let the subject line of your post read "Req: Your Title Here" and please keep behind a cut if it's lengthy.
Please tag your post with the tag: req
Requests for copyrighted material MUST be behind a cut and friends locked.
For other posts:
For now we'll have a bit of freedom. Post what you like, if it's Danny and Jordan related. If it’s some type of gossip or news, Let the subject line of your post read “News: Your Title Here”.
8. Discussion of Episodes
There will be an official discussion post during every new episode. This is where your episode related discussions belong. It is essential not to post any episode related information above the cut because our members come from all time zones.
9. Crediting Users
If someone posts FanArt and asks you to credit, do so. Icons should be credited whether the post asked you to or not. If you are unsure how to credit userpics, read the the tutorial.
