Welcome to Flash Fiction Forums! As all sites do, we need to cover a few things before you register. And yes, you’ll have to agree to them before we let you! So here’s how it works: Flash Fiction Forums is a site dedicated to the obvious: flash fiction. If you’re coming to this site with anything other than your creative work (advertisements), we’re going to ban you. We encourage a growing community here at FFF; we also want to promote as much writing as possible. Please keep your spam off our site, and we’ll get along great! We’ve got some legal stuff to cover, but first we’d like to ask this of you: if you’re going to register, please be kind enough to reply back to other members’ work. Writing sites thrive on the activity of its members, and if you’re looking for feedback, please know that it’s a give-give relationship: you give a little, they give a little. Offer your words, your thoughts, and your fellow members will do the same.
And now, the boring legal crap that we have to cover:
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes (are these still even around?), and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.
Copyright information: Yeah, we own this site. Anything that we produce for this site (images, guides, etc.) is owned solely by the owner of FFF, or his/her successor. However, the creative work that is shared on the board is owned solely by the member that posts it/the author. Flash Fiction Forums will never use your material for profit, nor break any copyright rules. However, Flash Fiction Forums reserves the right to use, in part of whole, your work to promote the site via its blog, UNLESS the member’s work is housed in the protected forums. Flash Fiction Forums will NEVER use material owned by members that has been posted in its protected forums in efforts to protect the member’s first rights.
More copyright stuff: If you’re interested in using, in part or whole, any of the guides housed on this site, please contact the site administrator.
