Site Policies
Posting policy
This site is mostly meant to feature and promote my fiction writing. A sister site at fjy.us features and promotes my non-fiction writing. Hopefully you’ll find things of interest on both sites, but if you’re more into one than the other, that’s cool.
I’ll endeavor to post regularly to the blog and put up pieces I think will interest visitors and are indicative of my writing. That said, I’m fairly rotten about keeping schedules and occasionally I actually have a life, so I’m not making any promises about how often I’ll post. It might be two or three times a week, it might be just one time a week, it might be even less frequently. The main thing is I’ll do my best to keep the site alive, so do check back frequently for updates. Or better, sign up for notifications of new postings. For you, special price: Free.
I consider anyone who would come to a site like this to be adult enough to grasp and be able to deal with the content, regardless their age. So the language and topics covered will be adult (or juvenile, depending on my mood) and may often be NSFW or whatever. If you can’t handle that, stay away.
Usage policy
Read the preceding paragraph.
I don’t care what your age is. Whether you’re 10 or 70, or whatever, if you can’t handle the content and language on this site, go find somewhere else to hang out. On the other hand, if you can handle it, you’re welcome here. I don’t discriminate on the basis of age. In short, if you’re cool, you’re welcome. If you’re not, you’re not. Easy peasy. Just don’t bitch to me about anything you deem to be “offensive.” I don’t want to hear it, and that’s (part of) what your back button is for.
The other thing you need to note is that every single word on this site is copyrighted. You’re welcome to use brief quotes with attribution as provided for by the rules of Fair Use, but steal anything and claim it as your own and you will find ugly ghouls otherwise known as lawyers sinking big, expensive fangs into your sorry ass. Really, I mean it.
Comment policy
Obviously I prefer sycophantic adulation for anything I put up on the site (why not? wouldn’t you?) If you post such sycophantic adulation, and don’t otherwise embarrass yourself, you’re welcome to comment away.
Of course, not everyone recognizes genius, so I do expect less-than-adulatory comments, too. You’re welcome to post those as well, as long as you’re reasonably polite and not an ass hat about it. I might or might not respond, but I’m not doing this to engage in lengthy arguments over things, so don’t try to provoke me into such things. I do moderate comments and you might find your comments blocked. And if you’re a spammer, prepare to be vaporized. Just sayin’.
If you have a book or article or whatever you think would be of interest to others, consult me privately about it and if I think it’s worthwhile I might review or feature it on the site. Or I might not. No promises.
Note that “reasonably polite” also includes not saying nasty things to others, or being a general ‘Net troll. I’m pretty open-minded, but even I have my limits. I’m a publicity whore, not an abuse whore. And just to remind you, it’s my site, not yours. You’ve been warned.
Other than all that, enjoy!
