sirius_fic - Profile (original) (raw)

What's this all about, then?

This is a community for people who want to read other authors’ takes on Sirius’ life, on his relationship with his family, different interpretations of why he ran away from home, sent Snape through the Willow and suspected one of his closest friends as being one of the spies, and then how he managed to survive Azkaban, spent the time between PoA and GoF, managed to alert the Order at the end of GoF even though their first inclination would have been to arrest or kill him, and dealt with being shut up in Grimmauld Place for eight months.

This is a community for people who like long, plotty stories that attempt to answer these questions about Sirius, and who think that there aren't nearly enough long stories out there, and who find it difficult to keep track of multi-fic story arcs of authors who aren’t on their f’lists.

Yes, I am one of these people. Join us. Become one of us. But first, please read the administrative guidelines.

I have an awesome Sirius!fic/Sirius!pic! Can I post it here?

As stated in the administrative guidelines, this community is posting the following:
(a) novel-length fics featuring Sirius as one of the main characters (using my definition of novel-length, which are fics that take me an hour or more to read, so anything upwards of 30K words);
(b) multi-fic story arcs (of three stories or more) featuring Sirius as one of the main characters;
(c) multi-pic story arcs (of three pictures or more) featuring Sirius as one of the main characters; or
(d) all three.

As also stated in the administrative guidelines, things that do not qualify are:
(a) drabbles or stand alone fics of less than 30K words;
(b) long stories or multi-fic story arcs that don’t have Sirius as a central focus;
(c) works-in-progress, no matter how long or how Sirius-centric they are;
(c) multi-pic story arcs that don’t have Sirius as a central focus; and
(d) all four combined.

I think Sirius is Teh Hawt and I had a dream about him last night and I think he should be played by Guy Pearce in the movies and Gary Oldman is Teh Suck and it's okay to post about all of that kinda stuff here, isn't it?

It's really not.

What about if I love Gary Oldman? Can I post about that here?

NO!

Do I have to slash Sirius with Remus?

No. You don't have to slash Sirius with Remus. Or with any other man. Or ship him with any woman. But you can if you like. And if you don't, you can write Sirius-gen. As long as there is lots of Sirius, and your fic/pic meets the rest of the criteria, it doesn't matter who you do or do not pair him with.

Actually, I hate Sirius/Remus.

Okay, but this really isn't the place to discuss it.

My story's really long, and won't fit on a single LJ post! Can I post a link to outside this comm?

Yes. In fact, it's encouraged. Why? Because if you’re posting a multi-chapter epic, it’s not going to fit onto one post, chances are I might have you friended already, and forcing you to post it in its entirety on this community would just end up cluttering up my f’list, and at the end of the day, this is all about me and my reading needs.

Okay, my fic/pic/thing totally meets the criteria! Anything else I need to know?

Yes. Please provide the following information, in whatever order:

Subject/Header info: lj username"~"Main pairing"~"Era (eg, MWPP, pre-Azkaban, one of the books, resurrection, multi-era, etc)

Anything else?

If you haven't already done so, please, please, read the administrative guidelines.

What if I want to ask you a question that isn't already answered here?

Go to the administrative guidelines post and ask it there.
