no ship or character bashing

no unsolicited concrit

no bitching about how other people write or what terms they use

18+ only, although no direct posting of NSFW material is allowed; everything sexually explicit or gory/violent would be behind a link users can choose to click or not

respect triggers and boundaries; tagging ships and warnings allows everyone a safe environment
