The Quill Guild
Rules for adding content
We publish our own texts on The Quill Guild, we avoid plagiarism and we do not copy previously published texts. There is no place for discrimination based on age, disability, gender, marital status, origin, religion or denomination, or sexual orientation. Disputes are a natural part of discussions, remember to treat others with respect, which involves substantive argumentation, not ad hominem arguments.
Rules for adding short-form texts
- Be the author of your texts
- Add only your own thoughts, i.e. not dialogues, texts you have heard, proverbs, quotes or other people's aphorisms. The text should not be in the form of a dialogue.
- Remember about form
- Focus on the content, do not write a story, but a short thought that has valuable content.
- Avoid mistakes
- Write correctly, without spelling, punctuation or syntax errors. Unintentional errors resulting from your negligence are unacceptable.
- Choose your topic carefully
- Hundreds of sentences were written about love, friendship and death. In fact, countless of them were produced. When adding another thought from this general topic, consider whether you are repeating a pattern. Only brilliant and original thoughts have a chance to survive in this exploited area.
- Find the right department
- In the Short form tab, add only short thoughts. To add your poem, go to the Poetry tab. To add your story or other longer text, go to the Prose tab.
Rules for adding poetry
- Pay attention to linguistic correctness
- Write correctly, without spelling, punctuation or syntax errors. Unintentional errors resulting from your negligence are unacceptable.
- Select the appropriate section (haiku, limerick, etc.)
- In the Poetry tab, add only your poems. Only in this section will you be forgiven for rhymes. Remember, not everything that rhymes is a poem. To add your thought, go to the Short form tab. To add your story, go to the Prose tab.
- Remember that content is important
- Focus on content. Don't use word cotton to make a poem longer. Avoid cliched language. Remember that the metaphors used must have a specific meaning. Throw away popular formations. Don't write about obvious things. Don't rearrange your words. Don't force rhymes.
- Be the author of your poems
- Add only your own poems, i.e. not texts found on the Internet, read in books, selections of poems, magazines or volumes.
Rules for adding texts written in prose
- Add your texts
- Add only your own texts written in prose, i.e. the result of your own thoughts and thoughts, without downloading from books or other stories.
- Take care of the content of your prose
- Focus on content. Contrary to appearances, writing stories is an extremely difficult art. There is no room here for threads from multi-generational novels. Let your story have content so that the time spent reading it will not be wasted.
- Make sure your content is error-free
- Write correctly, without spelling, punctuation or syntax errors. Unintentional errors resulting from your negligence are unacceptable. Avoid repetition. Pay attention to the time in which the action takes place.
- Check if you are adding to the right section
- In the Prose tab, add only your stories and other texts written in prose. To add your thought, go to the Short form tab. To add your poem, go to the Poetry tab.
