update

Hey, folks. Just checking in with another quick update. I wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention.

1) As soon as you register to become a member, you're able to upload/post your fanfic. You don't have to get permission from me, or email me the entire story so I can approve it. If you're a member, it's approved. But just to be a step above ff.net, please, please, spell-check your story first. That also includes making sure titles and certain words are capitalized, and proper punctuation. If you're unsure of something, find a beta-reader to look your story over for you. It just makes the overall reading experience better if your reader isn't constantly seeing spelling mistakes and other grammatical errors. I'm by no means perfect when it comes to grammar/spelling (so don't think you have to be Shakespeare), but I do use Microsoft Word, or LiveJournal spell check, for anything I write and decide to post.

I betcha you can find a really nice beta-reader at tmnt_fanfic on livejournal.

2) I know ff.net has a limited policy when it comes to NC-17 rated fanfic. Shell Shock allows any kind of rating, NC-17 included (please be 18 years of age of older to submit and read these stories). There are warnings and genres galore listed for you to tag your story with when you’re adding the title/summary information. So, if you’re writing turtle-cest, there’s an incest option. If your story is ultra violent/gorey/sweary, there are tags for that. If there’s graphic sex involved, tag it, baby.

And if you come here as a regular, and are offended by what you’re reading, well, it’s also a good idea to check the tags and warnings before you even decide to read a fic. Obviously, if you’re not into turtle-cest, there’s going to be some stuff involved that will turn your hair gray.

3) Spread the word about this place. I know y’all know some peeps that write turtle fanfic. We have 436 members, but only 85 stories. Let’s try to make this archive huge! C’mon, do it for Leo, Mike, Don, and Raph! They deserve it. There are a bazillion Twilight fanfics floating around out there in cyber-space, and let’s face it, being a mean, green reptile is better than being a sparkly vampire any day of the week.

4) If you see a canon TMNT character not listed under the character selection area, drop me a line and I can add it in. No problemo.

I think that’s it for now. I hope that cleared some stuff up. My thanks to all of the kickass authors who have contributed stories thus far. And a big thank you to the members who've joined to read and review the fanfiction.

Everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend!

New Skin

Ahoy-hoy. Finally, a new skin. It's nothing much, but it's about time I do something.

Recently I've been getting a lot of emails concerning TMNT crossover fic. To clarify, it's totally allowed. There is a crossover genre listed, so if you feel like introducing our green heroes to Biker Mice From Mars, X-men, Toxic Crusaders, Batman, Jesus, etc.. please feel free to. Make sure you use the crossover genre listing, and in the summary, please indicate the crossover type. Any other ?'s, please give me a shout.

Also, I'm still tweaking things for this new layout, so if something isn't working, well, that's why.

Just a quick update folks, so you know that I'm alive and kickin'. The archive is growing slowly, but steadily. We still don't have too many stories, but the few that we do have are all well-written and full of the turtle spirit. Please support your fellow members by reading and reviewing stories!

I know that there is a lot of tmnt fanfic floating around out there on the net, so if you know a friend, or even a friend of a friend, who writes in this fandom, please pass the word along and help this archive grow.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks dudes and dudettes, and keep up the good work!
