###About Us

Upload a selfie, and others write stories of the people in the selfie. Like peoplewatching, but Reddit, and for you.

###Submissions Rules rules

#Verification

Verification is crucial!
Submissions must include a clear sign/display containing the subject's username along with r/MakeMyStory.
Alternatively, an existing photograph may be submitted with the subject's username and r/MakeMyStory, along with verification of the identity of the subject of the photo. i.e. submitting to the mods a current selfie that identifies you as the OP, or also including a current identifying photo in your post.
If there are multiple people in the photo, they must all be visibly aware of the note.

#Photoshopping/Filters

Photoshopped/edited posts are NOT allowed. This includes Snapchat filters such as the digitally-added flowers or dog ears. Posting multiple edited photos will result in a ban.

#Faces

The faces of all the persons in the photo must be clear and defined. Submissions with blurry/partial faces will be removed.

#Bystanders

All persons in the photo must be aware of the note. Any ambiguity in consent and/or unaware bystanders will result in the removal of a post.

#Mood

Remember to stay generally positive and kind. This sub is not for taking it out on strangers and any abusive/hateful responses will be treated accordingly. However darker elements of a story are allowed, as long as they do not attack the poster.
