Community Profile

Welcome to Slip 7, Pier 56 - the Riptide, home of Cody Allen, Nick Ryder and Murray Bozinsky.

Community Aims

We couldn't make up the slash in this show. Well, we could, and we do, but we don't have to. Because they went ahead and did it for us, and put it on network TV. And that's what the community's all about - the slash! Any and all pairings are welcome here.

You slash Nick and Cody? Or maybe Cody and Murray? Nick and Murray? Quinlan and Murray? Or the fandom OT3, Nick/Cody/Murray? Either way, this is the place for all Riptide slash discussion, squee and fic.

Gen and het discussion, squee and fic is welcome here too.

The community is primarily focused on:

- Episode discussions, recaps, screencaps and squee
- Fanfic and fic recs
- Fanfic prompts or requests (Read this post for more information)
- Icons and images
- Character discussions
- Pimpages (about Riptide as a whole, or about your pairing).
- Fic resources - come and ask about canon or about info you need to write your fic
- Squee! Sharing the love of our favorite boys

If you've just found us, please feel free to post and introduce yourself. Tell us what you love about Riptide, who your favourite character(s) are, your ship (if you have one), how you became a Riptide fan... We'd love to hear it all.

Please. Anything you want to talk about that falls into the categories above, come and post. We'd LOVE to hear from you. Pretty much, if it has the word Riptide in it, or the name of one or more of the guys, it's on topic.

You can post your fic here if you'd like. And there's an archive for that here too. We encourage you to post your fic at the archive as well. Wherever you post your fic, please come and tell us about it and give us a link - we LOVE it when you tell us you've written fic, so we can squee!

Fic posted here on pier56 can also be found in the Community Memories, organised by author.

Posting Fic

1. NO fic may be posted which includes any Riptide actor as a character.
2. NO real person fic of any form.
3. We have tags. Please use them. (New authors: If you do not have an author tag yet, a mod will create one for you. -- The same goes for artists without an artist tag.)
4. Please include genre (eg gen, slash, het) and rating (eg PG13, NC17, AO) in your header: this assists people to avoid fic they might find offensive.
5. Please WARN for any potential squicks in your fic.
6. AUs and Crossovers are welcome: Please state in your header if your fic is an AU/crossover, and give brief information
7. Please use a header which includes at least the information below:

<b>Title:</b><b>Author:</b><b>Genre:</b> (Gen, het or slash)<b>Rating:</b><b>Pairing/Characters:</b><b>Summary:</b><b>Notes/Warnings:</b>

8. You may post fic which is also posted elsewhere; it is polite to include a "Cross-posted" line in your header and list the other comms your fic is posted to.
9. You may post WIPs (works in progress)
10. Please use lj-cuts for anything longer than a drabble
