Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · No explicit rules were visible—if you plan to self-promote, message the mods first; authors commonly include word counts/genre in titles.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, showcase, news
Headline: include title, often the word count and genre (e.g. “Faolan (900 words) (Fiction)”). Post as a text/self post with a short excerpt or full story; external links sometimes used for full publications. Tone is literary/creative; posts are long-form excerpts or images. Upvotes favor polished fiction and curated photography; be concrete and present a readable excerpt up front.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/originalloquat's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
