Congratulations! At this point, you are a
Stoat and eligible to participate in each an every discussion and game on the boards, and write for our Contests.
Should you wish to also write fanfiction here on a non-contest basis, whether single-author or collaborative, you may continue on and follow steps 6-10.
6) Re-read our guidelines about ratings and story-content.
7) Understand our guidelines about grammar, syntax, and other scary words.
8) Create a sample of your writing in response to any Open Story currently running on the boards. This sample must naturally also follow the guidelines. OR: If you have fanfiction currently up on other sites, which falls roughly within our content guidelines, provide us with a link to it.
9) Send the sample or link from step 8 to
Department_of_Mysteries via Personal Message.
10) Be Patient. It may take a week or so for the Department to get through the necessary paperwork, scrying, fasting and prayer necessary for deciding whether or not you're good to go.
