Joining Impure Things


ImpureThings@yahoogroups.com is the mailing list for this site. Please read all rules and regulations before joining.


Rules and Regulations

1. This list is specifically dedicated to fanfiction featuring Graham and Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While fics can, and most likely will have other pairings (Buffy/Riley, Willow/Tara) some Graham/Xander is a must for anything posted to this list. However, it doesn’t have to be just Graham and Xander, meaning they can be joined by other people. Threesomes are just fine. (Graham/Xander/Angel, Graham/Xander/Riley, even Graham/Xander/Anya)

2. Since both Graham and Xander are men and this list is about a relationship between them it’s a pretty fair guess that there will be homosexual content posted here. Now, to reach this place you had to have come through at least one warning, but here’s another one. Male/male NC17 content is welcome here, so if the thought of that squicks you, leave. Now.

3. To post to the list, send e-mail to: ImpureThings@yahoogroups.com

4. Feedback is encouraged. Even if you don’t write, let the people that do know how much their work is appreciated.

5. Talk about the actors is permitted. **That DOES NOT mean Real Person Slash** The fic here is Graham/Xander, *not* Bailey/Nick. (RPS is kind of a hot button issue for some people, so we’re staying out of it) But, if you happen to find out that Nicky’s gonna be on Conan O’Brien tomorrow night, or that Bailey’s doing a cameo on Law and Order, feel free to share. I think I speak for most of us when I say we want to know where we can get more of our eye candy.

6. Spoiler space is a must when talking about new and upcoming Buffy tVS/Angel tS episodes. Generally, 10-20 lines is considered adequate.

7. The *occasional* Off Topic (OT) post is okay. For example, you’re changing the URL of your site and would like to let everyone know. Just make sure the message has OT in the subject line.

8. Anyone posting chain letters, urban legends, or messages about "getting paid to surf the net", will get one warning. First time you do it, you're set on moderated. Do it a second time, and you're banned.

9. On-list flames are also grounds for banning. Flames are not constructive criticisms, or even arguments, they are mean, hateful comments that have no other purpose then to hurt people. I’d like to think that we’re all intelligent, sensible adults here, and as such there will probably be things we will disagree on. Discussion is cool. Get flamey and you’re gone.

10. Beta readers are recommended before you post to the list. The archival team (meaning me) doesn't have time to go through each story and correct spelling and grammatical (especially considering the fact that I use a beta myself) errors.

11. The list is set to deny e-mail attachments. If you do have a photo,.wav, etc. that you'd like to share, please put it up on a webpage and send the list the URL telling us what you've got to share. Or you can upload it to the shared files area at Egroups and tell the list that it's there.

12. Being prolific is great, but please only post up to five stories per day.

13. If you would like to post a fic to this list please somehow include the following information. This just makes it easier on both the reader, and the archivist.

Title:
Part: (1/1), (3/20) etc...
Author:
Pairings: (if there's any other pairing besides Xander/Graham, like Anya/Xander, or Xander/Graham/Riley, let people know)
Summary:

Disclaimers: (Cover your ass. The characters aren’t yours, say so.

To join the list go to Impure Things

If individual e-mails are too much for you to handle, you can set your subscription to digest or no-mail/web only mode at the Yahoo! Groups site. Digest means you'll get a whole bunch of fics/messages at once. No-mail means you must go to the Yahoo! Groups site and read the messages there.
