#About ###Mission

r/Fantasy is the internet’s largest discussion forum for the greater Speculative Fiction genre. We welcome respectful dialogue related to speculative fiction in literature, games, film, and the wider world.

We reserve the right to remove discussion that does not fulfill the mission of r/Fantasy.

###Vision

Build a reputation for inclusive, welcoming dialogue where creators and fans of all types of speculative fiction mingle.

###Values

Respect for members and creators shall extend to every interaction.

Interact with the community in good faith.

Interactions should not primarily be for personal benefit. Personal benefit includes, but is not limited to: financial gain from sales or referral links, traffic to your own website/blog/channel, karma farming, critiques or feedback of your work from the community, etc. This also applies to you posting on behalf of your friend/family member/neighbor.

#Rules ###1. Be Kind

Every interaction on the subreddit must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, arguing in bad faith, sealioning, or general pot stirring. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly space.

We ask all users help us create a welcoming environment by reporting posts/comments that do not follow the subreddit rules.

See the wiki for the full text of this rule.

###2. Promotional Content & Karma Farming

Community comes first. People who are mainly here for promotion or to rack up karma will be penalized.

Please see our full list of what is allowed and modmail us with questions before engaging in these types of things.

See the wiki for the full text of this rule.

###3. Posting Etiquette

Posts and comments that do not demonstrate a sufficient level of community engagement may be removed or redirected.

Homework and academia related help are not permitted.

Crossposts are only allowed for relevant AMAs from other subs.

###4. Hide Spoilers

Hide all spoilers except in threads that have already been marked with an official Spoiler tag. Spoiler tags look like this in markdown mode:

Please make sure that there are no spaces between ! and the text.

###5. No Pirated Content

Any encouragement of piracy or links/instructions to visit pirating sites will result in an immediate ban.
