    About
    Welcome to Darker Spike



    This is a community to explore the darker side of Spike, the things that you are not sure that you want to put up in your own journal just in case someone you know pops in.

    We accept both fiction and artwork, slash and het, any rating, any ships just so long as you can somehow relate it to Spike (and the better the piece is the further we will be willing to stretch), if you aren't sure check with one of the moderators and we will let you know if it is acceptable.

    		 Here be the rules, please read them


    Here are the rules. We reserve the right to add, edit and amend these as necessary.

    Grievance Policy | YouTube video policy


    POSTING RULES

    *All posts are automatically 'friends only,' so don't change them when you post. DS is set up to handle this for you.
    *All posts should pertain to and be about Spike and/or BtVS or AtS unless prior approval given by a moderator.
    *This is a Spike centric community, therefore posts should pertain to Spike. There is an open posting day on the 1st of every month for posts regarding the rest of the Buffyverse.
    *If you wish to advertise it must be related to the buffyverse and it is preferable for you to have asked a mod before posting.
    *Please label fics with the Pairing(s)
    *If you are posting a fic longer than a drabble please put it under a cut. The code is: <lj-cut>your entry here</lj-cut> This will show link saying 'read more' for people to click to see your entry OR <lj-cut text="cut text here">your entry here</lj-cut> allows you to use your own cut text instead of 'read more'.
    *If you are posting artwork larger than an icon or more than 3 icons please put it under a cut, excepting a small story or art teaser. Typically, we like these to done with the following coding: <a href="URL of image"><img src="URL of image" width="200"></a> This coding can be used for a teaser image for your fic or art. However, no nudity above the cut, please, no exceptions. Any art you include should be marked as worksafe or not worksafe for the benefit of members. Please be aware members will be viewing the community or their friends list in different situations and following these rules helps prevent them from the possibility of an embarrassing situation.
    *No hotlinking pictures, manips, icons, or any graphics to sites other than your own.
    *NO reposting of fandom creative work without permission from the creator. This includes, fan fiction, artwork, icons, graphics, and fan videos. Fan videos that are on YouTube or other video hosting websites can only be posted with the video creator's permission.
    *Please tag your posts with the predefined community tags. How to do this is explained HERE.
    *NO kiddie porn - we do object!
    *We reserve the right to add/amend the rules as necessary.


    If you wish to put ratings, warnings, summaries on your post then please feel free to do so, but we are not going to insist (at the moment. We reserve the right to change our minds though)


    GENERAL RULES

    *Give feedback if you enjoy something (even just "read & enjoyed" for a fic or "nice" for a piece of art - the creator will be delighted)
    *NO plagiarism - If you spot something here that you think is suspect, please report it to one of the mods and when we have checked it we will report it to [info]stop_plagiarism. If any member is found to have plagiarised they will be banned.
    *NO reposting of fandom creative work without permission from the creator. This includes, fan fiction, artwork, icons, graphics, and fan videos. Fan videos that are on You Tube or other video hosting websites can only be posted with the video creator's permission.
    *Be nice to each other.
    *Have fun.

    ART CHALLENGE RULES

    *The challenges run Friday to Friday
    *Deadline is always Thursday midnight
    *The current theme can be found by checking the daily recs post and will also be displayed in the sidebar.
    *Post your entries in a new post labeled and tagged as a challenge entry.
    *NO reposting of fandom created artwork without permission from the creator.
    *Have fun!
