Hello! *waves* I've been here since day 1 (I'm not a mod, just an eager fan of the comm), but hopefully I can help you out a bit.

I think that, on the subject of Real Person Fic, you should be okay. There's slash and het here in all sorts of fandoms, but I'll leave that to

lit_gal to decide.

The second question I actually asked about on a friend's behalf not that long ago, and was told that so long as the meaning of the term was understood, it didn't even really have to have the actual word/phrase in there.

I break my fics up into chapter, and post them bit by bit. I'm doing that with my Spike/Fred story called Her Saving Grace, which is completely based off of the prompts in this comm. I think someone here has a series that just has little bits posted now and then, though. I think breaking the scene up would be just fine.

But again, I'm not a mod here. But I did want to quell any fears you might've felt concerning this topic. We're a really friendly, easy-going bunch who love to read fics and help others tame their pesky muse. (My muse and I have more of an understanding these days: she doesn't give me plots in the car, and I don't do anything stupid like lock her in the closet. ~_^)

I hope you join up with us!

lit_gal is the founder and mod around here, and she's wonderful and sweet and always there to help you out. I know she'll be able to answer your questions fully and get you set! ^_^

Thanks so much for your reply!

You definitely put a lot of my reservations and concerns at rest. I don't usually like to have to include a word or phrase exactly because...what if my character wouldn't use it? But to write it as an idea, that I have no problem with.

I guess this means I have to start rounding up the wandering muses! They used to e so prolific but RP so killed them. Oh it spawned it's own muses that now want to be real but...that's another story!

Anyway, I thank you for taking the time to answer my question and I hope to join you all soon.
