So to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will

May we have an example of what is allowed in a same-sex pairing- like what is listed under Violence and Sex? Just so we as authors know what is allowable and how vague we have to be.

We've been working on getting some examples posted, but for now, you can look at the responses to the Rainbow Challenge from the Mature Themes thread (links should be on the last page of the thread). And on the page before that, there are links to the challenge response threads in each forum (on a 50 posts-per-page setting).
As always, if you're not sure that your story meets the guidelines, PM the mods.

Regarding plagiarism; is a person contacted before they are banned?
Say, for example, if I posted a fic here and on some other fanfic place. Someone from there tells you here that the story is already on their site, therefore I must have plagiarised.
Would I be contacted so I could explain I was the same person who posted in the other place?

Plagiarism is a really really serious accusation. As such, it's important to make sure all the facts are in before rendering judgment. That said, it would probably depend on the situation as to whether discussion with the (possible) offender takes place in a "what's the deal?" PM, a warning PM, or the unban request system.
Speaking in general terms for any and all editable/bannable actions, I'd personally rather talk something out before I have to ban someone, but sometimes that isn't possible.

Sorry to ask but the policies basically mean I can post a PG-13 story, (barely even that) providing I mention the rating.
Secondly you didn't mention the policy on suicide.

It depends on what's in the story. What the MPAA might consider PG-13 might be allowed depending on how you write it. ESB, for example - it has torture, but it's still PG because of the way that was portrayed. Anakin's immolation, on the other hand, was slapped with a PG-13. So was Temple of Doom, where all you see is someone's heart being ripped out without too much other damage - we've allowed worse (see the example in the FAQ).
The rating label itself won't excuse you. Even with a PG rating, if we see something that's beyond what we allow, we'll ask you to edit your story.
Suicide: I suggest following the violence standard above for the actual physical act. As for the mental anguish, I can't think of any times where those descriptions go overboard, unless you're also including darker subjects like rape.
You can always send us what you've written, if you're not sure whether or not it fits within the guidelines.

I'm writing a fan-fic set around the same events but from another point of view as the comic Tales of the Jedi: The Sith War. While it's set in a similar time as the two games of KOTOR, it has nothing or at least little to do with the games. Should I still post it as KOTOR, or can I post it as TOTJ?
Thanks.

That's great, because TOTJ wasn't listed I thought I couldn't list it as that.
Thanks for a quick answer!

The mods don't care what you post as eras or titles or anything, as long as its appropriate Those are just the general timelines
