words belong to the person who wrote them.

WELCOME to FABLES, the literary hotspot of Dreamwidth! Long story short, this community was made for people to review and recommend books, as well as discuss the literary thematics within those books. We're a generally laid-back and friendly community, so to keep that cool persona, we've gotta lay down a few ground rules that are essentially common sense anyway.

✏ In order to maintain the integrity of this community, please try to post your reviews with some kind of formality. No one will care so much if you type normally in the comments, but for the sake of coherency, standard English should be used in the review post itself.
✏ Your opinions are desired and valued, so we encourage discussion.
✏ Please be kind and respectful to everyone. We do not discriminate based on any belief, so keep in mind the right of others to be respected. There is a big difference between criticism and insult.
✏ This is the standard form for posting reviews; you are welcome to jazz it up however you'd like, but please make sure to have all of the fields included.
<b>TITLE |</b> <b>AUTHOR |</b> <b>LANGUAGE |</b> <b>GENRE |</b> <b>PUBLICATION INFORMATION |</b> Date, Company, ISBN, etc. <b>SYNOPSIS |</b> <b>SHORT REVIEW |</b> usually consists of a rating and a couple of initial thoughts that will be elaborated upon in the full review. <cut text="full review. PLEASE INCLUDE A SPOILER ALERT HERE IF YOU WILL BE INCLUDING SPOILERS IN YOUR REVIEW."> lorem ipsum insert your review here. </cut> <b>LAST THOUGHTS |</b> other books by this author you'd recommend, etc.
✏ You may also hold discussions about a book without writing a formal review. In that case, please include "[INSERT TITLE HERE] DISCUSSION" in the title and proceed as usual.
✏ PLEASE tag your posts thoroughly.

We can also hold a monthly book club-type event. Please let me know if you would be interested in that sort of thing!

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask on this post. Thank you very much, and happy reading! ♥
