• The #FridaySnippets twitter hashtag must be included when tweeting the link to the snippet, so all tweets can be grouped easily. Yes, I know it’s horribly obvious, but this is important and kind of the point of the whole thing, so I prefer to stress it just in case. The game is also on tumblr under the Friday Snippets tag.
• Writing must be the focus. Any writer can link to snippets of anything they feel comfortable sharing, hosted on any convenient blogging or text uploading service, as long as writing is the focus: finished works, drafts, original fiction, fan fiction, worldbuilding and character notes, poetry, screenplays, scripts for comics… even old and embarrassingly bad stuff if they like to make fun of it (in that case though, best add a disclaimer or some comments in the text). The snippet can also have a visual element (e.g. an illustration, a reference image, a sample comic book page…), as long as writing is the focus.
• Snippets also have to be short, of course. I can’t think of a good rule of thumb for “short”, so that’s left to individual judgement, but please keep in mind that the risk of “tl;dr” is stronger on the Internet than on printed media.
• A disclaimer in case of mature content will be appreciated (and I know I’ll definitely have to use one if I’m going to post snippets from PoB).
• The material should be as spoiler-free as possible, or at least have a disclaimer if spoilers are unavoidable. You want to engage and tantalize, but not ruin the fun for your readers when eventually the book will be published!

So, I’m ready to start with the fun on friday 17th. Fellow writers, who’s with me?
