OK, gonna refine this a bit...

Story title: Copy the story title exactly, but use proper capitalization.

Author: Type only the author's name; do not include a link. If the author goes by more than one penname, choose the name that is already in our database. If none of the author's pennames are in our database, use the penname that is most often associated with the author's works.

Link: Be sure to include the http:// prefix. Put any important information about the link (such as "registration required") in parentheses following the link.

Altlink: Same as Link.

Summary: Please only include the summary provided by the author. You may combine things like author's notes and alternative author-written summaries if you feel that they would benefit the fic page, but please do not write a summary yourself. You can write your own summary in a comment review. Try to leave author-written summaries intact (including typos -- they'll give us a sense of what to expect from the story!), but you may edit out redundant information (such as completion status) if necessary.

Pairing: Please refer to Category:Pairings to find the existing entry that best fits your pairing. Don't see your pairing? Write "Other Pairing" in the Pairing field and write the actual pairing (Character A/Character B) at the end of the story summary. Once a pairing is represented by at least two stories in the wiki, a dedicated pairing category will be made and all fic pages described as containing that pairing will be moved to the new pairing category.

Genre: Please refer to Category:Genre to find the existing entry that best fits the story genre. If none fit, leave the Genre field blank.

Genre2: Same as Genre.

Era: Please refer to Category:Era to find the existing entry that best describes the era in which the story takes place. If none fit, leave the Era field blank.

Character: Please refer to Category:Characters to find the existing character entry of the fic character. If there is already an existing entry for your character, be sure to use that exact name in this field. If you don't see your character, write "Firstname Lastname."

Character2: Same as Character.

Length: Write only a number, indicating the number of words in the fic. Please do not use commas or words. For example: "200000," not "200,000 words."

Rating: K/K+/T/M/MA. If the fic uses a different rating system (like PG and NC-17 or some other system) please convert to our system as closely as possible, rounding the rating up if necessary. If you feel that the author-provided rating is inaccurate, provide the author's rating anyway and leave a note in the comments. If you really aren't sure what the rating is, leave the field blank.

Status: Complete/WIP/Abandoned. If you're submitting a WIP, please be sure to some back and update the fic page with any new or updated information as the fic progresses.
