cmrossiprentiss - Profile (original) (raw)

This community is dedicated to adoring the pairing of SSA David Rossi and SSA Emily Prentiss. Feel free to post anything you'd like about them here, fic, art, icons, episode and/or general discussion, canon, fanmixes, fanvids, etc. Slash, het, and gen are all welcome. Please keep all posts on topic. Anything that is not specific to Rossi needs to be run past a mod before posting.

Challenges

We run frequent challenges to help inspire our authors and artists here. Full-length fics, drabbles, poems, graphics, fanvids, fanmixes, and other contributions can all be part of the challenge. If you have any suggestions for future challenges, please feel free to drop us a comment on this post.

Rules:

1. No flames - We're all just here to have fun. That means no nasty comments to the posts made by anyone in the comm. Constructive criticism (concrit) is welcome, IF the author or artists requests it. If you have a problem with a poster/post that you think needs to be addressed, bring it to the mods, but don't make us put on our modly hats to break up a flame war. We have an extinguisher and we're not afraid to use it.

2. Use the LJ cut – It makes all of our friends’ page much happier. Any fiction over 100 words should be under a cut. Art and graphics should be under a cut as well, but you may preview a small number of icons or a smaller version of your art/graphics above the cut. Some people still have dial-up, and it makes life difficult for them to have large graphics on their f-page. If you are new to LJ and do not know how to use an LJ cut, please look HERE for an explanation.

3. Use the tags – There will be tags set up for fic, art, discussion, canon, etc. We will also be setting up contributor tags, so you can find your favorite artist or author's works easily. These tags will look like this: "member: yournamehere". If you have not ever posted to the comm before, you will not have a tag, but once you have posted here, the mods will set one up for you to use each time you visit us after that! :)

For a list of our current tags, go HERE.

4. About pimping other comms - You can pimp other communities if you'd like, but we ask that the focus be on David Rossi/Emily Prentiss comms only. For example, if you start a Rossi/Prentiss drabble comm, or if you're in an RPG that features a strong Rossi/Prentiss plot you want people to read or are looking for a Rossi or Prentiss player. If you are pimping general CM comms, there are better places to do that than this comm, like criminalxminds (with moderator approval, as per their rules), or shooting an email over to bau_inbox at bau.inbox@gmail.com.

5. Use headers for your fics and artwork - A suggested minimum header for fic/art is:

Title: Author/Artist: Rating: (feel free to use the standard MPAA ratings, or the Fan Rated Rating System as you prefer)
Challenge: (if applicable)
Characters/Pairings:
Spoilers/Warnings: (Please see below policy on spoiler and warnings)

Of course word counts, summaries, and authors notes (among other things) are always welcome, too!

6. Spoilers/Warnings - You do not need to warn for spoilers for seasons 1-4, but PLEASE do warn readers if you will be spoiling anything from season 5. We don't want anyone upset over having things ruined for them. We also ask that you warn for anything potentially squicky, like death of a canon character, abuse, rape, angst, h/c (hurt and comfort), mpreg, etc. Not everyone will read just anything; please respect that so we're all happy.

7. Credit your sources whenever possible - This is less of a rule, and more of a suggestion. We're in fandom for the enjoyment of it, but it's always nice to feel appreciated. For example, if you use a cap from Oracle of Quantico (or anywhere, really) for your graphic, credit them! It's that simple! It helps to create a sense of community that will help those of us in the fandom to stay motivated to produce more!

8. Please don't post intro posts - Your mods really sort of hate them for cluttering up their flists. ;) We'll have one post where you can introduce yourselves to each other, and we'll link that. You can track it if you want to meet each new member as they comment to it.

9. No Real Person Slash or Fic (RPS/RPF). This community is for shipping David Rossi/Emily Prentiss only. We do not allow Real Person Fandom. Posts containing RPF will be deleted without warning. RPF can get ff writers/artists in trouble with the powers that be. We don't want them cracking down on us legally.

10. Enjoy the love.
