And something cross my mind. Your IP address will be recorded. Log in No account? Create an account. Remember me. Share Flag Next. When I first came to lj, I was very puzzled by the way fanfic worked here. I was used to the archive sites such as fanfiction. I had to stumble around and wished there was a place where I could learn the basics. So, this is my attempt to pay it forward and help out those of you who are in the same boat.

The Basics You post your fanfics as a journal entry. You just choose the link 'Post to Journal'. Typically you only post the full text of the story to your personal journal and then link back to it on any community postings, but we'll get to that later. Subject: The subject is usually the title of the fic.

A fairly standard format for that is: Fic: "Title of Your Story Here" Name of fandom s Example -- Fic: "A Really Great Title" Supernatural Header : The header goes right before the body of your story and is pretty much mandatory if you want anyone to actually read your stuff. Most communities have their own suggested format, but I use a standard one that has so far seemed to please the mods anywhere I post.

Normally I err on the side of caution. Anonymous comments are disabled in this journal. Your IP address will be recorded.

Now, in journal and community entries, there's a button you can click to show the author you liked their entry. Community Search Directory : you can find up to communities that match your search terms.

Remember to sort by Update Time to find recently updated communities. If you are able to join a community, you can click the Join link at the top right of its Community Profile page or accept an invitation sent by a community maintainer. You can also watch the community by using the link on the upper right corner of the Community Profile; this will add the community to your friends list. Most communities require you to join before posting entries. Joining or watching a community will not allow community members, moderators, maintainers or owners who are not on your Friends list to read Friends-only entries in your journal.

You can edit or delete your community entry as long as you currently have posting access to that community. Depending on the settings of the community, you may also be able to add, edit, or delete entry tags.

If you are a community owner or maintainer, you can always add, edit, or delete entry tags; you can also delete other users' community entries, but you cannot change their security settings, subjects or entry text. Your username will appear on the Community Profile under "Watched By" and the community's public entries will show on your Friends page. LiveJournal does not offer an automatic cross-posting feature from its web interface. However, you do have several options for achieving a similar effect.

The only way to completely hide your community membership is a separate account. However, you can make a community not appear on your profile page by not watching the community and also hiding it from your "Member of" list through one of the two methods below: Individually hide the community from your "Member of" by banning the community you want to hide in the same way you would ban a user.
