Ground Rules

“The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. ‘Off with his head!’ she said, without even looking round.”
– Queen of Hearts, Alice in Wonderland –

The ground rules of Mad Queen’s Archive of which most technically apply to most (fan)fiction sites, blogs and forums. All comments are screened and if they against the rules, I will promptly delete them.

Da Rulez

❧ Keep it respectful, both to me the author as well as your fellow readers and reviewers. If you disobey the rules to many times you will be added to wall of shame.

❧ I do not want see bashing of any kind, I don’t mind if you hate a character, pairing, series, etc. you are entitled to you’re own opinion. But you don’t have have tell the world about what you think is wrong with said character, pairing, series, etc., if you don’t like something I write don’t read it, it’s that simple.

❧ Please do not make this archive another battleground for shipping or pairing wars. I rarely just support one pairing within a fandom. I myself often support more then one pairing in a series, respect that please.

❧ While I don’t mind constructive criticism (you might want scroll down and read what I consider constructive criticism in the Review Policy section), I do not want to see any flames. Seriously if you don’t like my stories don’t read them and don’t review them if you are only gonna leave flames.

❧ I expect my readers to take responsibility for their own actions and heed the warnings I post in stories. If you decide to discard or not heed my warnings, I am not responsible. I don’t add those warnings for my own amusement.

❧ Do not steal any of these stories and pass them of as your own. If you see my stories any where else, their is good chance they don’t belong their.

Story Ratings & Age of Consent

❧ As the secondary purpose of this archive is to post my fanfics which contain explicit sex scenes (lemons), several stories contain adult content. These have a M (R) or MA (NC-17) rating, depending on how graphic the descriptions are. They are marked with a M which means Mature Content and warnings will be posted in the summaries over the site. The fiction and chapter summaries contain a warning indicating the nature of the content within the chapter.

❧ Stories of an adult nature that contain extreme violence and/or fetish type themes are instantly rated as MA (NC-17). Drug use and intoxication however can be T depending on the type of (for example) alcohol.

Review Policy

❧ Like all writers I love to know what you enjoyed, if any parts were confusing to you and what your opinions about the plot is. But please don’t leave one or few-word reviews like “awesome chapter”, explain at least why it is awesome. I’m also no fan of complaints and flames, so I’d appreciate it if you kept these things in mind when reviewing.

❧ As for constructive criticism, pointing out things you don’t like is not constructive criticism. You can point out grammar and spelling mistakes is fine but don’t be rude about it.

Thank you!
