This post is for all frequently asked questions regarding this community. Post any questions you have as a comment on this post and a mod will answer ASAP!

Common Questions

• What can I post to this community?
  You can post any Kpop RPF fanfic! Please review our posting guide.


• Can I share other types of fanworks?
  This community is intended for sharing K-pop fanfiction. If you would like to share another type of media (fanart, fanvids, etc.) that is closely related to a fic, you are welcome to link it in your fic post.


• Can I include a graphic I made for my fic in my post?
  While we love a great fic graphic, in order to keep the community easy to read and uncluttered, please do not include a fic graphic in your post.


• If I want to rec a series of fics, should that be a rec or a reclist?
  In general format this as a single rec, unless there is a good reason to provide an individual reason for reccing multiple fics in the series, in which case you could format it as a reclist.

Special Situations

• How should I share a podfic?
  Please use the following formatting in this situation:
  
  Use the tag [PODFIC/REC] in your subject line, followed by the title of the fic in the subject line, e.g. [PODFIC/REC] The Greatest Story of All Time.
  
  If you wrote the fic AND recorded the podfic, or if you wrote the fic and are including a rec to a podfic someone else made of your fic, then use [PODFIC/FIC] instead.
  
  For the body of the post, please copy and past the following template:
  
  <b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Word Count:</b> <b>Group:</b> <b>Pairing/character:</b> <b>Genre/tags:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <blockquote>[INSERT SUMMARY HERE]</blockquote> >> <b><a href="[INSERT LINK TO FIC HERE]">click to read</a></b> <b>Podficcer:</b> >> <b><a href="[INSERT LINK TO PODFIC POST HERE]">click to listen</a></b> <em>A/N and/or reason for reccing: </em>
  
  If you are not used to html, please note that you need to delete the brackets and replace the text in the bracketed areas above.
  
  Use the following tags on your post: category: rec and category: podfic.

Hello and thanks for starting this comm!

I noticed in the template in the Posting Guidelines, it doesn't have a line for what group the fic is about. Could this be included for clarity? I know the group is in the tags as well but it's a bit easier to read in the body of the post imo.

I also noticed the link to this post (FAQ) from the Posting Guidelines is broken.

Thank you!

[lachrymosy]

This is a great suggestion, thank you!! & thanks for catching the link as well! 😄

[littlerhymes]

Awesome, thank you!!

Hi! Just to clarify, the community guidelines etc. only talk about fanfiction, so does this mean that the community is for written fanworks (i.e. fanfiction) and not for any other fanworks? (Fanart, fanvids, podfic, etc.)? (Both sharing one’s own and recs?) Thanks!

[lachrymosy]

Hi, great question! Yes, this community is intended just for fanfiction. However, if there is a fic which has related fanworks you particularly want to post, you are welcome to link to those in the body of your post or the comments! I can see how this is most fuzzy when considering podfics; please share both the written work & the podfic in this situation.

Hope this helps, but let me know!

[bluedreaming]

Thanks for the clarification! I do have a follow up question then; if someone wanted to share a podfic they created, they would rec the fic (using the rec template) and include a link to the podfic?

[lachrymosy]

Okay so I made you a special formatting section! If you look above in this FAQ post to the "special situations" menu, please follow the format for podfics there and let me know if anything doesn't make sense!

[bluedreaming]

Perfect, thank you!!

This is a great new kpop space, thank you for making it! If you want, you could link to the Kfic Big Bang community in your list of other kpop comms on dreamwidth.

[lachrymosy]

Done! Can't wait to see the fics that come from the Kfic Big Bang!!

[mx_morden]

Hello! First of all, thank you so much for making this community! DW desperately needs some more spaces for kpop fans :)

Secondly, I've been looking around and I may have missed this, but I was wondering whether there's any fic content that isn't allowed.

[mx_morden]

Also, not my community, but there is an anonymous kpop kinkmeme on dreamwidth. It doesn't seem to be very active, but who knows, maybe someone's interested in the format :)

[lachrymosy]

Awesome thank you!

[lachrymosy]

Thank you!!

There's no fic content that's not allowed, but our community is not flagged for adult content. What we ask is that M and E fics are linked and the full text of the fics are not posted directly to the comm (which is the default for all fics anyway), fic posts are given appropriate ratings and tags, and this would also extend to not including something in a summary which would be considered adult content.

Let me know if you have more questions!

[mx_morden]

Thank you for the clarification! :D

[bluedreaming]

I’ve been sadly swamped and not able to keep up with this comm (or dw in general) as I wanted to (sadness!!!) so I’m wondering - is the August rec theme of favourite fics still active? (I may or may not still have the tab open for the fic I’d intended to rec 😅)

[lachrymosy]

Yes recs are ALWAYS welcome! I stopped putting up a new theme for the moment so you can consider the August one still active; I'm thinking to do themes on occasion just to encourage people to post things they might not think to otherwise, but it's a bit difficult every month and ofc the pace of dw is slower than other places :) So yes 100% share the recs you have!!

[bluedreaming]

Okay great!! Yeah, I thought the themes were really neat for exactly the reasons you said but just sadly had to let some things fall at the time. I’m glad that DW’s slower pace is so forgiving ♡ thank you!
