How do I post front-page articles on this site?

[RunicOrangejuice]

And what are the guidelines, considering there may be sensitive or younger audiences? Alliteration about tragic topics seems to be okay, in light of Waffle's last post. Shotgun pixilated splatter seems to pass too. I'm itching to post my first ever, on this forum. But it's a heavy and deep subject. It will contain content I've wanted to say for years, but I don't want to hurt others by it. How much considered too much, other than the obvious downright hate or NSFW game covers? And I'm not sure of word set-ups, word-count maxes and any thing related to picture attachments too. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! To post an article, you first have to submit a draft to the Writer's Guild, which has separate guidelines for articles and reviews.

So the chain goes:
"Guild Appreciation" forum=> draft acceptance=> article section=> post article?
Is there a picture size limit?
Also, do you think giving Spike a quick-phrase synopsis would help for content check pass?

That's basically how it goes, yeah.

We normally require the submitted draft to be close to the final product, but I guess you can do thar to see if the content would be approved.

As for pictures... yeah, I think the limit is 2MBs.

Thanks Waffles! Again with the nutritious and delicious information! You get the syrup credit!

Just wanna add, the usual rules for the rest of the forum apply like you guessed, SFW and the like.

Articles allow you 30k characters and the usual 20 visual attachments. Aim for at least 500 words, the style is mostly up to you but if you're unsure, take some inspiration from some of the ones already posted.

Maybe consider some kind of heads up like Waffles used in his last article if it's a particularly rough subject, people reading fun game reviews might be a bit caught off guard by something, uh, emotionally harrowing.

Do I need to say that's I'm good to close this? I am, if that's the case. I've given my credit.

You got it.
