THEY'RE GAZEBOS | it one-shots

WRITING RULES

This applies to the members of this account only :)

RULES

i. Your one-shot obviously has to include the characters from IT. You may add a new character (one that you created) if you want to;

ii. If your one-shot deals with something that could be triggering (p.e. suicide, self-harm), please put a trigger warning at the top of the chapter. :);

iii. Use swear words as much as you want (I mean, look at me, I use swear words in my review book every ten seconds);

iv. Try to make the characters' personalities accurate to their behaviour in the book/movie. If you ever have a question with anything, ask me (I read the book and watched the 2017 movie, so I know what I'm talking about);

v. NO SMUT. NONE AT ALL. You can write a kiss or a make out scene, but don't get graphic please;

vi. You can write one-shots that don't revolve around any ship, but if you do write a love one-shot, it can involve ANY SHIP that includes the IT characters. Here are examples if you ever need help:

- Richie and Eddie (Reddie);
- Stan and Bill (Stenbrough);
- Stan and Mike ( Stanlon);
- Ben and Beverly (Benverly);
- Bill and Beverly (Billverly);
- Bill and Richie (Bichie);
- Mike and Carole Danner
(she's a character in the book);

vii. Obviously, no one's writing is perfect, but try to have decent grammar and spelling. You can always use a spell-checker if you feel it is necessary. Also try to have good ponctuation;

viii. The title of your one-shot should just be the number of the one-shot plus your name, like "two | name". Read my one-shot that will be posted soon to see how I structure mine :);

ix. You may read another's member one-shots and add a sentence, but try not to correct a mistake if you see one! Instead, simply write down your critique so the author can correct it themselves later (and always add your name at the end if you do so);

x. You can change the characters's ages, the time period, and small details about their families, but if you do, please mention it so it isn't confusing;

xi. Now, this is just a heavy suggestion from my part because I love Eddie/Reddie. In the book, it is HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE that Eddie is gay. Like I'm not even kidding, it's not hidden at all. Eddie is gay. It might not be written on paper, but we all know it ;). So I'm just suggesting that you don't write a one-shot with Eddie and a girl, but that's my opinion and you can do whatever you want!

This it for the rules (at least, for now). Thank you and enjoy writing! :)
