The Fiction header is the first post you make in your fiction. And is the only content of that first post. UNLESS you are posting a Cast Fiction, then you may also place your "cast list" under your header. Cast List example below Fiction Header example.
We use Headers so we can stayt organized and make it easier for readers to find what they are interested in.
Bottom Line: NO HEADER...NO FICTION.
Here is an example of how to fill out your header. NOTE ALL sections much be answered, unless noted otherwise.
EXAMPLE
Title:Pure Bliss
Author:Tempted Saint a.k.a Wet Ink, Elijahsfanstasy
Disclaimer Here: The sad …sad…truth. (<-- this links to the authors disclaimer.)
Rating:Adult
Type:Cast Fiction
Genre:Romantic Comedy
Main Personalities:Hayden Christensen, Wentworth Miller & Dominic Purcell
Status: 17 Chapters-in progress
Beta Reader:Reddevil
Warning:Erotica.
Summary:Trinity Kramer, a twenty something office assistant finds herself caught between not only two men, but three. One is a successful lawyer, another a ball player and the last the romantic artists she’d always dreamed of. Who will her heart belong to in the end?
Authors Notes:This is a personal fantasy, of course. *chuckles*
EXPLANATION
Title- That is pretty self explanatory isn’t it? Click here for rules on titles.
Author- If you use more than one pen name, add an AKA as I did here.
Disclaimer- All pieces MUST have a disclaimer link. This is the authors way of telling the readers that while they OWN the “piece”, they do not own and are not affiliated in any way with the celebrities or directors etc… Click here to go to the Disclaimer thread.
Rating- It will either be General, Mature & Adult Click on ratings for board guidelines. Mature & Adult Fiction Admittance
Type- There are seven types of fiction to choose from. Original, Cast Fiction, Cross-Over, Celebrity, Alternative reality, Alternative Universe & RPG Fiction. Click on the type names for an in depth explanation and examples.
Genre- This addresses the overall feel of the piece, much like film genres. There are four genres: Romantic Comedy, Drama, Thriller & Horror Click on the genres for a description.
Main Personalities- Who is in the story? ie: Hayden Christensen or Darth Vader. These should be listed in order of importance. It isn’t necessary to list ALL the famous people or characters in your piece BUT the main ones are a MUST. This does not apply to original fiction
Status- Number of Completed and POSTED chapters & if the story is COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE.
Beta Reader- The name of the Beta Reader. Not mandatory, but suggested. What is a Beta Reader? Do I need one???
Warning- If there is anything the readers might want to know before they start reading the fiction. Click here for a list of common warnings
Summary- A brief summary of the story. Don’t give away your whole darn plot, just a teaser if you will.
Author’s Notes- A place for the author to make a few small notes. If this was a sequel, prequel, rewrite or a fiction that was long abandoned by them then picked back up. Or just some little comment like above. Authors should keep this brief and simple.
Cast List Example. They may very some in appearence.
