Site Rules

Comments-
Comments are always welcome, but there are guidelines. I ask that the word "retard" and its variants not be used. I have autism (most likely Aspergers, if you were curious)  and OCD, and those words are very offensive to me. Likewise, no use of "gay" as an insult. While I'm straight, a great number of my friends are gay, and I myself am a strong supporter of gay rights. The same goes for racism and religious bias- it has no place here. 

If you have an opinion about anything I write, post it. I love getting comments, advice, and criticism on my work. My only request is that you be civil about it. If there's a way I could write something better, tell me. My main goal, apart from sharing my writing, is to get better at it.

Sharing-
If I post a story you want to share, please don't copy it. Email me at rinellawashere@gmail.com with the name of the story and the name of the site you hope to put it on, as well as why you want it. The purpose here is twofold. First, it confirms that my work is not being stolen or misattributed. Second, it helps me find good websites to browse myself. The same rules apply to posting a link to a story. If you want to link to the general site instead of a specific story, go nuts. You can still tell me, but you don't need to.

Also, should you find one of my stories somewhere else without my name credited, tell me right away. 

Linking-
Got a website you like? Want me to link to it? Send me an email at rinellawashere@gmail.com, and I'll check the site out. If I like it, it will be linked in my Other Great Sites section. Before you email me, please check the list yourself and make sure I haven't linked it already. If it's your site or blog, follow the above steps, and I'll link it under the Community Sites section.

Contacting Me-
Do you have a lot you want to say about a story? An essay about something I wrote? Or maybe a story you'd like me to read over? Send them to rinellawashere@gmail.com, with a subject line that gives me some idea of the letter's contents.
