Important Information

Hello Everyone, 

          I have recently noticed that when you post your stories in the comment box for the pictures, the box will either say that 'the characters amount is good' or it will say that 'you have too much characters'.  If you somehow end up with having too many characters, you can send your story to me and I will post up your stories for you so then that way you don't have to make your stories shorter or do extra work by cutting your texts and replying it to your original post (if that makes any sense to you).  But the point is you can always send me your stories and I will post them if you are having any trouble with anything or don't want to have to go through all the hassle to try and post your stories up.  I am okay with that. 

PS.  If you want to see an example of how I will be posting your stories if you happen to have a long story, you can go on http://the-stories-behind-the-pictures.blogspot.com/2013/11/soldier.html and look for the story "I'm Coming Home" by iCheeseYou.  Their story ended up passing the character limit so I ended up setting the format this way.  If anything happens to be confusing to you, you can always ask or tell me and I will try my best to fix it in some way.

Guidelines

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.  I created this place so that anyone can come and write stories based on what they see in the pictures I posted.  The stories can be about anything the writers want, but I do have to set some guidelines:

1.    Please don’t insult other people’s work.  Everyone should be able to express their own ideas without being made fun of or harshly criticize. 

2.   It is also encouraged that if you could, do comment on someone else’s post, whether it be some constructive criticisms or just a “Great job! Thanks for sharing.”  An open dialogue is encouraged.

3.   Violence should be kept to a minimum.  There can be some violence, but please keep it to a point where people can actually still read the story without feeling disturbed or unable to fully read the story. (For instance, if you are writing about someone being hurt in some way, please don’t describe the scene with that person’s blood squirting out or his/her intestines falling out of his/her bodies or his/her skin falling apart.  It’s really disgusting and no one wants to read about it.)

4.   If you want to write a comment or an analysis of the picture instead of a story that is fine as well.

5.    If there is a problem with any of the stories or comments, please tell me immediately and I will try my best to fix it.

6.    If there are any pictures you want to share, you can always message me. But please only send me appropriate pictures.

7.   When you leave a comment, analysis, or story, please also leave some sort or username or identification post so that credit can be given to you for your ideas and thoughts. 

That’s kind of all the rules I have for the moment, but if there are something you want to include please tell me. I want all of you to feel welcome here and that all of your opinions matter to me.  So if any of you just want to talk to me, I am always here and ready to help and listen to whatever you have to say, whether it’s public or private  Also, I will be posting new pictures up every month so please come and check it out.  Thanks!
