Now, here's the header:


Now, let's go through it.

Title: Self explanatory.
Crossover Fandom: Only if you have one. :) If you do not, just erase it from the header.
Characters/Pairings: Your primary characters and/or pairing, secondary pairing - feel free to put characters here if you have a gen fic.
Rating: Use the rating system you are most comfortable with.
Word Count: Again, self explanatory. :D
Spoilers: Due to having people from all over and being in all different places in the fandom, please just say "Spoilers for current season" or "Spoilers for season 3" or something of the like.
Warnings: Please please please use this. if you think you need to put in a warning, please do so. Better to have one than not have one. Do Note - Slash is not a warning and should not be used. If you have a slash warning, I will comment for you to take it down and you will have 48 hours to do so before I take down your fic. You will then repost it at the end of the round - no exceptions.
Summary: Quick sentence or three about your fic.
Author's Note: Please put the following sentence or some variation of it - I do not own White Collar or its characters. If you have a crossover fandom, put that in as well. This is just so we don't get anybody legal on our butt. Thank your betas and anybody else you need or want to.

Art: Either below or above your fic but it needs to be in the same post with a link to the art post if there is one. If your artist has not gotten your art to you by the time you post, please put TBP (to be posted).


If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will open up for posting around midnight CDT tomorrow. Happy posting everyone!

Hi, I have a question about warnings.

Basically, when stories went up for art claiming, I couldn't help but notice that one of the headings contained "Warning: Slash". I'm hoping you'll agree that this is not an acceptable thing to warn for (and should be obvious from the Pairing label, anyway!) and that you won't allow this when the fics are actually posted to the comm. You could maybe add that into your header information section above?

Thank you :)

I must concur - warning for slash is insulting and inappropriate.

Please do note this - it's unacceptable.

...one had slash as a warning? *facepalm* I apologize for not catching it then as I should have. I do agree with you and am going to put that it is not acceptable to warn against slash. I'll also keep an eye out for it when people put up stories and take action then.

Funny thing is that we had an issue with this in the first round and now in the third round. If it appears in the fifth round, I'm going to beat it to death. With a giant stick.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy to know that's your stance :) (I was a bit wary about asking because of past experiences with this issue in more than one fandom.)

You're welcome! :)

Back in round one, when I and my co-mod were itty bitty mods and not knowing what the heck we were doing sometimes, I did have slash as a warning. It was explained to me why it was so not cool to do that and I took it down right away. In my defense, I wasn't thinking, but it was very stupid of me. Now a days, my reaction is more like "...what the hell, that's not something to warn about".

This thread about 'slash is *not* a warning' makes me so happy... Thanks to all of you for this.

So much love
