Want a sneak peek at fanfics and fanart before they appear anywhere else online...even here on The Lion's Keep? Join the Voltron Unlimited Mailing List to see what's up and coming before anyone else!
Voltron: Defender of the Universe, both Lion Voltron and Vehicle Voltron, Voltron the 3rd Dimension, Voltron Force, Voltron Legendary Defender are all welcome here. This list is intended as a place for all fans to feel welcome and safe in sharing their thoughts, fanfics, fanart, etc., about Voltron. There will be some restrictions on what's acceptable to share, but that will be kept minimal and the focus will be on creating a supportive environment where we can all celebrate our fandom. All versions of Voltron are welcome here, as are all pairings/ships*.
List Information, Rules and Guidelines:
Thank you for your interest in joining the Voltron Unlimited Mailing List. Please carefully read the following information and follow the enclosed directions to start enjoying your membership.
To ensure every member of this mailing list has a clear understanding of what to expect, and what's expected of them, please read the following carefully. Once I've received a reply from you agreeing to the following rules and guidelines, your request to join will be approved.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Please Note:
Due to possible mature content, list members should be 17 or older. (Mature content includes adult language, sexual situations, graphic violence, etc.)
If a message comes through with ADMIN in the subject box, please be sure to read it carefully - if it's necessary to send out something in an official capacity, it's going to be important.
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to your membership being suspended or removed completely.
General Etiquette, Rules and Guidelines:
Hate and hateful speech will not be tolerated. There will be no name-calling, no scolding, no degrading or abusive language when speaking to other members on this list. Everyone here should be mature enough to act with respect, so please do so.
Fics, art, poetry, spoofs, etc., are welcome. If you have something you'd like to share and are unsure of, feel free to contact me privately.
No forwards, no spam, no porn. If your account has been hacked, contact me directly so I know what's happening.
Spoilers - this has become such a hot topic! Please, make sure you are clear about it when your message (or fic/art) contains some sort of spoiler.
Off topic chatter - I don't mind a little visiting and getting to know one another - I think that's great! You want to talk about writing, creating artwork, things that pertain to fanfiction and fanart - even things about fandom, those are topics I really enjoy too! I also don't mind a little chatter about other anime, comics, movies and related topics. But let's keep the non-Voltron stuff to a minimum. :)
Have a website or fansite? Maybe a blog, DeviantArt or FanFiction .Net account? Feel free to share your link, or let the list know when you update!
If you are looking to purchase or sell Voltron related items, contact me privately so we can figure something out together. I don't want to stop people from reaching out to other fans, but this list is intended for fanfics, fanart and conversations about Voltron.
If a writer/artist requests constructive criticism, please feel free to share your thoughts in a positive and helpful manner. If you enjoy a fanfic/fanart, then by all means let the creator know! Nothing does a heart good like knowing someone enjoyed your fic/art! :)
If an issue or argument arises between you and another member, please try to work out your differences privately. I cannot be responsible for things people do off the list (even if they are members here). However, if another member on the list is full-blown harassing you, save the emails/messages, and let me know what's going on - I will look into the situation.
Plagiarism - if you find that someone is plagiarizing material, copying word for word from a source and claiming it as their own, let me know immediately.
Disclaimers - be sure to post any and all relevant disclaimers with your fics/art. This includes accrediting all sources for your fic - if you use something from a book, magazine, artwork, game, movie, TV show, music source, etc., all must be properly acknowledged and accredited. Without proper disclaimers, we could all get into trouble - it needs to be clear that fics/art are for entertainment only and no money is being made from them (when you make money off of someone else's intellectual property, it's copyright infringement which can result in monetary fines and even imprisonment). If it isn’t your original idea (or character, place, event, etc.), then it belongs to someone else. This includes another person‘s fanfiction - be courteous, take a moment to ask before you borrow and make sure that the original creator is acknowledged and accredited. You should always give credit where it's due.
Content for both Fanfics and Fanart: (please note the following is for all forms of fics/art)
This list is open to nearly all ships/pairings - male/female, male/male, female/female. If you do not like the ship/pairing, you do not have to read it. *I will NOT allow a child/adult sexual pairing. If you want to write/draw Pidge in a sexual relationship you need to age the character to 17 or older. If you are writing a story where there is a crush or infatuation between Pidge and an older character, as long as it remains non-sexual, I'm okay with that. But, I will not debate this issue and there will be no exceptions.
While on the topic of adult/sexual relationships...love scenes, sex scenes, lemon or lime fics, erotica, smut - whatever you want to call it, I don't have issues with sexual content. As a matter of fact, my own fics/art contain this type of stuff. What I do take issue with is when it is not properly labeled as such. So, if you want to share something of an adult nature, make sure you add a clear warning so people who do not want to see/read it have the option to skip it.
When it comes to art, the same guidelines apply. Full frontal nudity of male and female forms is fine. Artwork containing depictions of sexual acts will be allowed - but no actual penetration. Two people sharing their bodies can be a beautiful and deeply emotional thing, there is nothing wrong with that. But if you are looking for straight out porn, just Google it, there's plenty of it out there. Again, as with fanfics, everything should be labeled appropriately and clearly. No NSFW surprises, please! (If you don't know what that means - NSFW = Not Safe For Work.)
On the topic of adult themes like graphic violence, foul/bad language, and material that could be a potential traumatic trigger - take the time to properly label these things. Just as I said above, if you want to share something of an adult nature, make sure you add a clear warning so people who do not want to see/read it have the option to skip it.
If everyone is following the rules, all members should be mature enough to behave and self-regulate, so I'm really not anticipating any problems with these things. But in the spirit of fairness I must inform you that if I get complaints that an unreviewed fanfic or fanart with questionable content is offending list members, or if I think an unreviewed fanfic/fanart is inappropriate, I reserve the right to remove it immediately.
With all that said, let's just try to keep things tasteful and high quality. And if you aren't sure about something, by all means email me privately and ask! Despite the rumors, I don't bite. ;) [email protected]
Consequences for not following any and all rules: 1st offense will result in a warning. 2nd offense will result in your account being suspended. 3rd offense you will be removed from the list.
Ratings for both Fanfics and Fanart:
This is directly from my website - I think it makes things clear and simple.
G: Pretty tame - anyone can view.
PG: mild language, innuendo.
PG-13: strong language, innuendo, mild violence, sensuality.
M: Everything in "PG-13" plus graphic violence.
R: Everything in "M" plus sexual situations.
Please make a note of which version of Voltron your fic/art is from - don’t take it for granted that everyone is going to recognize the characters, etc. And please, please, please note which characters you’re pairing up (in romantic fics) - for example Keith/Allura, Ginger/Hawkins, Lance/Keith - again, this is because we all like different things.
And a few definitions:
Lemon - characters having explicit sexual relations
Lime - characters having almost sexual relations (example hot and heavy kissing, touching, feeling)
Innuendo - suggestive content and/or sexually suggestive conversations
Violence - from a fist fight to a battle.
Bad/Foul Language - curse words, etc.
Triggers (traumatic triggers) - this covers multiple areas, some specifics include: character death, rape, mutilation, abuse, mental illness.
Here's an example of what you would include at the beginning of a fanfic/fanart (again I am pulling this right off my site):
Shattered
by Shannon
Rated M - Violence, Sexual Situations
Trigger warning - mature content
Voltron: Defender of the Universe; Lion Voltron; Sven/Romelle
It's actually pretty straightforward and simple, and it makes it easy for someone to decide if they want to read/view it or not.
Notes:
I guess it seems like a lot of rules and guidelines, but what it really boils down to is this: Treat other the way you want to be treated - with respect and courtesy. If you don't like something, skip it! If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. We are all adults, let's act like it.
Thanks for your time and attention! If you're comfortable with these guidelines, let me know and I will be happy to approve your subscription to Voltron Unlimited.
Hugs!
