the TOM PARIS DORM :: the Tom Paris FANFIC ARCHIVE!

Please read through this list of general rules that apply to this page and which consequences certain ill-intended actions will cause. Authors are directed to this » list « of rules instead.

1) Fanfic & Reviews

a: Please do not flame the authors, only give the authors constructive critisism and feedback to their stories.

b: "Reviews" that are merely conversations between two people will be deleted, please bear in mind that reviews are meant as feedback to either praise the author or give the author constructive critism in order for him/her to get better. "Please write more", "this is great", "great job", "good story" and so on will not be accepted as reviews and will be deleted. Such comments should be sent to the authors personal email instead, as they would still appreciate hearing from their readers. We simply do not have enough space to save these comments.

c: What constitute a flame? A constructive critique of a story which points out its weaknesses does not constitute a flame unless maliciously intended. Some examples of flames are: "You suck, I hate the story." "I hate it." and any personal attack against the author or the story without valid reasons.
Examples of NON-Flaming comments includes: "I think the 3rd paragraph of the story can be improved by..." "I don't feel that you've captured the character in this particular story." and other objective observations about the merits of the story.

d: The reader him/herself are responsible for the stories they read. At no time may they complain about having read a story that they found distasteful unless the story hasn't been properly rated. If a reader disregards the ratings, then said person is responsible for whatever harm that may have resulted by having read the story. Flaming the author for writing MPREG or a rape story etc is not allowed. Simply do NOT read the story!

e: If the reader find that a story has not been properly rated or given sufficient warnings as to its content, please contact the Story Admin with the details of the story and we'll look into the matter.

f: If a, b and d are continuingly violated, the IP address of the offending party will be banned from visiting the TPD.

2) Admins

a: Do not flame the admins in any way, they are doing hard work to keep this page alive - please respect that they do have personal lives outside of the TPD.

b: We would try to respond to any complaints/reports/questions within a 7 day period, but please do realised that a quick respond might not always be possible. We do try our best to respond as quickly as possible.

c: To ensure that your complaints/reports/questions are being addressed as soon as possible, please make sure that they're addressed to the correct department to avoid delays. If you're unsure as to which department your queries should be addressed to, send them to one of the admins personally. All relevant contact information can be found on the contact page.
