Currently our archive and forum are separate, something we hope to have corrected on the next update of the forum software, but in the meantime please sign up in both areas with the same user name. All members are listed as authors, regardless of whether or not they publish stories.

Our site guidelines and submissions guidelines are listed below. Thanks for your interest in Q&I.

ARCHIVE/FORUM GUIDELINES:

The main number one Golden Rule of Quills and Ink is to have fun and enjoy yourself. But because some people have different definitions of enjoyment, we have a few rules. We'll try to keep them as simple and painless as possible.

1. No wank or drama allowed. This means if you have a problem on or with another site, please leave it there, and if you are having private problems with another member(s), please keep those problems private. If you are being harrassed or flamed on the site by another member, please report it to adminsqandi@gmail.com . We're not babysitters, but we'll try to help.

2. No flames in either forum posts or story reviews. Constructive criticism is more than welcome. There is a difference between the two.

A thoughtfully worded review that points out areas in your story that could potentially be revised, is considered constructive criticism. Flaming is rude, usually contains insults and naughty words, and has a tendency to make you think of your mother-in-law. Or maybe that's just me.

3. No rude or hateful responses to con crit reviews. While a review might not be as positive as you would have hoped, if someone took the time to read your story and leave you a review, please accept it in good grace.

4. Any form of plagarism (passing off another author's work as your own or using another author's work, either in part or whole, without giving proper credit) will automatically result in the plagarist's being deleted and banned.

5. No trolling. Trolling defined as purposefully posting a subject or message for the sole purpose of stirring trouble. Also known as shit-stirring, but trolling sounds more polite. Sort of.

6. Only one member/author name per person. Multiple pseudonyms for writing purposes are fine but please let the admins know immediately. If you lost your password or encounter problems, let us know as soon as you can. There is always an admin around to help and no we do not mind. Double registrations without contacting the admins are not allowed and will have consequences accordingly.

7. Please watch the teenybopper/internet speak. Everybody uses some, but let's not go overboard. (I'm officially old now - I used the word 'teenybopper'. Next I'll be screaming 'You kids get off my lawn! In my day we had to walk 20 miles to even see a lawn and by god we appreciated it!)

8. Religion and Politics: Please keep religious/political discussion in the Hot Topic area of the forum. We have many different nationalities and beliefs on the site and believe me when I say, it's not difficult to unintentionally say something stupid and hurt someone's feelings.

Any questions, problems or concerns should be directed to adminsqandi@gmail.com. Members may also post problems in the Help&Support section of the forum.

Thank you for joining!
