Welcome to the Supernaturalville Fiction Archive. We hope that you will find our message board archive entertaining. However, as with every public forum, there are rules which must be followed in order to keep this enjoyable for everyone on the site. Please take some time to look over these rules and understand them before posting stories or feedback.


1. Disagreeing with other members is allowed as long as your statements are kept within the context of the other member’s statement or opinion and are not interpreted by a moderator or administrator as a personal attack. Malicious, insulting, or harmful statements (including ones with emoticons) about other members or authors and their will not be tolerated and will result in a warning.

2. Pornography in any form (written or imagery) will not be tolerated and will result in immediate banning with no warning process. Slash-type stories will not be allowed and will immediately be removed if posted. Please keep your stories in line with each show they represent. If you wouldn't hear or see it on Smallville, or Supernatural, then it probably shouldn't be in your fic! We're aware that Supernatural has a different rating than Smallville and will take this in to account when moderating.

3. Multiple unsolicited posts or spamming will result in immediate banning with no warning process. Responding to a topic for no other reason than to increase the number of messages in the community will result in a warning. This includes simple one or two word statements or using emoticons to make a point when none is really required, appropriate, or solicited.

4. Due to the nature of the board and the shows, members should be at least thirteen years of age unless they can display a level of maturity beyond their years.

5. Suggestive language, “four-letter words,” or adult language, and adult-themed topics will not be tolerated. If you cannot make your point without using language of this nature, then your point is probably not worth making in the first place. “Supernatural” has some mature content on it, but please keep topics and posts on the same level as the show because people of different ages visit this site.

6. Linking to or promoting illegal activity will not be allowed. This includes but is not limited to illegal downloads of video files and file swapping sites (like Kazaa or BitTorrent), as well as activities which are considered illegal by local, state, or federal law enforcement.

7. Linking to other sites that contain copyrighted materials without providing substantial or adequate credit to that other site will result in warning or banning depending on the nature of the infraction. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in immediate banning with no warning process. Adequate credit must be given to the author of any fan-fiction or image if the intent is to promote that author’s work.

8. Please do not post personal information, such as your full name or address. Anyone can view this site, and we want it to be a safe place.

9. Please keep basic English writing rules in mind when you post. As is the case with any message board, use of proper grammar is essential to making your point. Improperly structured statements may be interpreted as an infraction to rules 1, 3, and 5. However, we understand that English may be a second language, and exceptions will be made under that circumstance. Capitalization should be used to a minimum. Capitalizing your entire statement is the equivalent of yelling on most message boards and this one is no different. Please refrain from using “chat speak” and other internet abbreviations (“u” instead of “you”; “l8er” instead of “later”) because it is often irritating to decipher in posts. People are obviously not perfect, and the occasional typo is understandable. We ask that users follow basic writing rules so that posts are easy to read.

10. Writers who for any reason cannot post their own work may ask a Admin or mod to post stories for them. These stories will be clearly marked, and will be seen to be posted by 'Admin_posted' rather than a regular username.

11. When starting a new thread, please title it something appropriate for the topic. Try to avoid using thread titles like “Hey, look at this!” whenever possible. Keeping relevant titles for threads makes it easier for users to read threads that interest them, rather than needing to view the thread to see what it is about.

12. Please keep discussions relevant to the forums. Do not post spoilers on these forums. The site is for fan fiction only. If your story contains episode spoilers, please clearly mark it as having such.

13. Finally, avatars, banners, and signatures should adhere to the rules set up by the board’s hosts. Keep in mind that the content of imagery must be appropriate. Excessive imagery or improperly sized files will result in slowing down the download speeds for all users. Using another user’s avatar, banner, or signature image without permission will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate warning each day until the file is removed. Board Administrators will perform this task if the user refuses to do so and the user may be banned.

Most of the time for minor infractions, a moderator or board administrator will notify the person in the thread where the rule was broken or through a private message (PM). Warnings of this nature are like a “heads up” and a reminder of a rule. It’s a simple way to ask users to correct their behavior on the board. If an Admin or Mod warns you that your activities are not compliant to the above written rules, that warning should be taken to heart and the activities in question should cease. However, continued behavior that does not comply with the rules will result in electronic warnings or further punishment, depending on the situation. If you feel you’ve been unjustly warned, you can appeal the warning to one of the board administrators before you’ve been banned. If they feel your case has merit, the warning will be removed or reduced. If you’ve been warned up to five times, it will result in being banned from our board. Board Admins and Mods hold the authority to edit any posts that violate one or more of the above rules. The decisions and judgments of the Board Administrators and Moderators are final.

If you have any questions about the rules, feel free to contact any of the board moderators or administrators for clarification or questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read these rules. We hope you all have fun here!

The Board Staff
