Hello.

I want to submit a Portal fanfic recommendation, but as this is the first time I've ever actually contributed to this wiki (I only got a profile so I could see spoilers without highlighting) I have no idea how to format it. I've searched everywhere, and I've found how it's supposed to be laid out, but I can't find a clear definition on how to do that — how to make links and so on. Hell, I'm not even sure what the etiquette is — do I just go in and add the rec at the bottom of the "general fics" section? Can anyone help?

Welcome to TVT! Yes, it's fine to just go ahead and add a rec at the bottom of the right section — this is a wiki anyone can contribute to. Below is the formatting with the markup visible, but on the main page it'll display like the other recs. Leave out the Pairings line if there aren't any.

''[[http://theURLofthe.fic Title of the Fic]]'' by Author's Name
* Recommended by: Tropers/{{Skibi}}
* ''Pairings'': Character1/Character2
* ''Synopsis'': A brief description of the plot, hopefully without spoilers for the fanfic or the original story unless necessary. Many people use the FF.NET line here.
* ''Comments'': This is where you say what you like about the story, if there's anything major to note, how often it updates or if it's finsihed, major deviations from canon, etc.. If your're adding a comment to an existing rec, do so by making both comments (the original and your new one) separate second-level bullets.

Not sure if this is allowed under the new rules. I'd say the plot-to-porn ratio is decent, but it's a kink meme fic and certain points (basically anything relating to the Itch) wouldn't work without the sex and/or masturbation scenes.

The Punishment by conquerorwurm
  • Recommended by: Dontknowdontcare
  • Pairings: Chell/Wheatley
  • Synopsis: Rather then let Wheatley float in space for eternity, G La DOS thinks of a far better punishment for him.
  • Comments: While not safe for work in the slightest, it's certainly an excellent take on the idea of putting Wheatley into a human body, especially when dealing with 'The Itch'. Following him and Chell in the bowels of aperture as he tried to figure out his new body, as well as all the guilt and tension and sexual frustration is both funny and heartbreaking. The story moves at a good pace, taking it's time as the pair of them try to grasp their own emotions.
  • Has it's own tumblr page with art here. Again, NSFW

That looks like a good call to me, just going by the rec — if it's keepable after all, then that needs to be rewritten to make it sound less like porn. To be on the safe side, I'm checking it through this thread.

I thought it over and looked at What Is Porn- It's probably keepable (two long sex scenes and a couple shorter masturbation ones, in a fic that's currently at 18 lengthy chapters =/= primarily porn,) but I'm not sure what to rewrite the rec to.

So what needs to be done to put it back? I don't understand what's wrong with that description. Acknowledging it has mature themes is bad?

Welp since I'm not getting a reply I will just moooove it back with some edits to the description...
