Site Info
Welcome to Black & White & Read, a comprehensive archive for Gilmore Girls fanfiction of all flavors and pairings, even Trory.

Readers: Grab some snack food - preferably junk that would send Luke off on a rant - and snuggle up on Big Red. Browse the virtual stacks by author, title, or pairing/subject, but be sure to pay attention to content warnings, lest you stumble innocently into your own personal pairing hell. Give the authors some love - register with the site and leave reviews. Reviews are to authors what coffee is to Lorelai and Rory.

Authors: Register, read our submission guidelines, and then submit your stories to the archive. You'll receive a confirmation email, as all stories must be validated by Black & White & Read staff before they are posted.

Anonymous Reviews Disabled

I hated to do it, but I've had to disable anonymous reviews due to some weird spam issues we've been having. That means, in order to leave a review you must be signed in.

If you're not a member, creating an account is easy. Just follow the "Log In" link from the main menu, or go here.

Watch out for weirdness

Happy new season!

I got an e-mail from an author letting me know that they were getting some weird/spammy reviews. Basically, it's all gibberish with links to porn sites. If you've noticed anything weird like that in your reviews, or more importantly in your stories, please let me know by responding here or e-mailing me at admin[at]gilmore-fiction[dot]net. Be sure to include a link to your story/review.

As always, don't follow any strange links if you see them. I don't think we've been hacked, but I wanto make sure I know what's going on.

Spoiler warning clarification

There have been some questions about the 'current spoilers' warning, so we wanted to post a clarification. The 'current spoilers' warning is only to be used for fics that contain spoilers for unaired episodes.

In stories that contain spoilers, the summary should say 'SPOILERS' and indicate which episodes the spoilers are from. That way readers can see that there are spoilers before they even open the story. Authors should also include a note about spoilers in the author's note at the top of the text of the story (in case the story gets linked without a spoiler warning).

Any stories that contain spoilers and do not have these warnings will be rejected until the warnings are added.

Spoilers and spoiler-fics

Spoilers for season seven are starting to come out, so it's a good time for another reminder about spoilers.

Authors - if your story contains spoilers for unaired episodes, be sure to state that clearly in the summary. Adding an authors note at the top of the text would be helpful as well. You should also specify which episodes the spoilers include (i.e. 7.01, 7.02, etc.).

Reviewers - DO NOT leave reviews that include spoilers or reactions to spoilers in non-spoiler fic. Also, if a fic contains spoilers for 7.01, don't leave a review that gives away spoilers for 7.02.

Finally, please remember that reactions to spoilers can be just as revealing as the spoilers themselves. Let's all do our best not to spoil anyone who doesn't want to know what's coming up on the show. Thanks!
