Site Policy

» Site-wise

-As you probably already know, Neverland is a site for Westlife fan fictions, mostly interactive ones. The script (making the story interactive) is made by the Neverland team.

-Publishing of fictions will happen when there are new stories and/or new chapters available and ready to go on line. Short Stories are those with less than twenty pages; Longer stories, with the minimum of twenty-one pages, will be divided in chapters.

-Long stories, divided in chapters, will be updated once a week with the amount of chapters we see fit. Usually, two or three chapters at time, but this number may vary due to the story length and/or chapter length.

-Other types, such as Sequels, Songfics, Original Lifer and Challenge, are not necessarily separated by the story length, but for its type. Sequels, as the name suggests, are the ones with, well, a sequel; they can be long and divided in chapters, or they can be short, songfics, etc. Songfics are those stories based on song lyrics; the fiction and the lyrics share the same space on the paper. Original Lifer Stories are the fictions not entirely scripted (interactive); the Lifers won’t be scripted, they’ll be themselves and only the girls into the story will be scripted, meaning you won’t get to choose a favourite Lifer, but your name will be in the story nonetheless. And last, but not least, Challenge, which is, well, a challenge for people to write about; from time to time there will be a different theme, but there’s no headline to hand the fictions.

-Original stories work the same way, difference being the script.

-Fiction Summary. All stories in Neverland are listed here, with their respective authors.

-Forum. Message board, where among other things, can have original and incomplete stories.

-In Neverland, every opinion and point of view is welcome, as long as it is done respectfully. Disrespect will not be tolerated, and if such happens, the person shall be banned from the forum, tag-board, or even the site.

» Fictions and Writers

-All the stories being, obviously, fictional, with the ideas of plots, scenes, dialogues, etc, coming out of the writer’s mind; the characters, however, are based on real people, on the Westlife lads, their manager Louis Walsh, producer Simon Cowell, their WAGs, etc. Said that, it does not mean these people mentioned are exactly as described in the stories, for the simple fact most (not to say all) the writers here do not really know Westlife, other than what learnt from the media, or brief fan-meetings. Despite being based on real persons, the characters are not real.

-Submiting. We do not choose the stories to be hosted on Neverland, we publish the stories as they are sent. It is not for us to judge if a certain story is good enough to be on the site, it is up to its readers; also, such a thing would be very disrespectful in our point of view. Every single writer in Neverland is equal to all others, with the same rights and duties.

The main thing is to submit a Westlife fan fiction. And you must check the submitting page for required information about your story to be on Neverland.

-Writing a fan fiction is not such an easy task, it takes time, patience, good ideas, etc. Therefore, plagiarism is something that will not be accepted. The team might not be aware of such unpleasant facts happening in Neverland, but once it comes to our knowledge, action shall be taken.

The visitors can, and shall, notify the webmasters about a possible occurrence of plagiarism. Only remembering, your allegation must have a proof supporting it. Neverland will, by no means, be intentionally unfair with its visitors and writers; if one sends a fan fiction claiming it’s theirs, as long as it can not be proven otherwise, it will be held as the truth.

The Neverland Team shall not be blamed for others’ actions.

-Authors' page. This section has basically two functions for the visitor: get to know something additional about Neverland's writers (when did they start writing, something about their stories, where does the inspiration come from...) and also to find in each author's profile the stories they have hosted in Neverland. So, for example, if you just remember who wrote the fiction but not its name, you just have to go there and search for it.

-FOTM. Fiction of the Month. Every month three fictions from different authors are chosen by us, the team, and Neverland visitors get to vote to which one is their favourite, and the monthly winner is displayed on the layout. We don't ever tend to choose over our favorite fictions, but we do our best to try and give every author a chance to have their stories up for voting.

-Contest. Every few months we shall have a new Contest, which the theme will be chosen by the last Season’s winner. The winner is chosen by vote, the one story with more votes, wins, and its writer will then choose a theme for the upcoming season. Webmasters can not participate, for it will not be fair on the voting; but every one else can take part, only thing is to follow the theme and the contest rules [which are found on contest area].
