    Hi, everyone!

    There are two new rules that are going into place for competition stories and reminders about graphic content in general. Super quick - they're in bullet points!

    For competition stories:

    • Swearing is no longer allowed. No swear words at all. Swear words have an adverse effect on voters' ability to read the story through and vote - everyone should be able to read it through and vote without being uncomfortable. No exceptions.
    • Keep in mind your wider audience. That being said, please go easy on the darker themes and subjects within stories.

    For all stories:

    • Tag excessively graphic content at the beginning of the story.
    • Remember that the URPG abides by all the rules of the forums that host it. So, if you wouldn't normally say it in a thread outside the URPG, it's probably not appropriate to say it in a story.

    Keep us clean and shiny!

    Thanks, fam!
