If the Trekcreative list has any rule, it is that no one's view of Star Trek is invalid. We each have our own Star Trek Universe, and each is valid. What I write is valid within my view, and all I or any writer will request is that you accept that view for the duration of a story. Canon is not, and never will be an issue.
       Because tastes vary, we have not pre-selected or edited the content of any story or site. To help you find your preferences, we have asked the authors pre-rate their stories and sites for the list. The rating system terms are defined as follows.

G - No strong language, graphic violence or any more sex than a Disney cartoon.
PG - Some language, possible violent situations, no sexual situations.
R - Strong language, graphic violence, no blow by blow sex.
X - Frequent profanity, graphic interpersonal violence, graphic descriptions of sexual situations.

       The following terms define what kind of Trek story you will be reading, in the broadest of terms.

SC - Series Characters: The story or site features characters form one of the filmed representations of Star Trek as the main characters.

       Keep in mind that all of these ratings are a suggestion, and not censorship. They exist to guide you the reader to the material you want to see.

        Last but not least we have the subject of feedback. Writers love feedback. They will eat nothing but morning, noon, and night if you give it to them. TrekCreative is foremost a writer's forum. There is nothing you can to to please us better than to say you read our work and tell us what you thought of it.
       I wrote the following scale tongue in cheek as a mild poke at a gent that fell into category one, it is not to be taken seriously. However, people like it and use it so....

       When posting material to the list one can expect feedback. For the sake of time savings please indicate which degree of feedback you want when you post a story.

0. -- No feedback please. Your mortal words could not do justice to my genius.
1. -- I'm wonderful, tell me how wonderful I am.
2. -- I will take suggestions on spelling and grammar. Being avant guard, I might not use them.
3. -- Be gentle, I'm a criticism virgin.
4. -- I bruise easy, so please break to to me in small bits.
5. -- Be honest, I'll pout, but be honest.
6. -- I'm a man (even if I'm a woman), tell me like it is.
7. -- What, that's all you have to say?
8. -- Make me defend every concept.
9. -- Make me defend every word!
10. -- "Puss oozing, eye ripping prose." Don't be gentle, tell me what you really mean.
