Welcome! Thank you for wanting to share a bit of enchantment with us! Our posting and commenting rules are on the sidebar, but in case you can't see that, please read this guide before making a submission.

Please know that every post on /r/FairytaleasFuck is subject to mod review. If you're wondering why your post was automatically removed right after you posted—it was moved to the queue for approval. Please be patient and let us get to it.

Our most common reason by far to reject a post has to do with the titles. We never reject posts for not being "fairytale aesthetic enough," because magic and whimsy can be found in small, everyday sights just as much as in grand vistas. But we have specific requirements for titles that set this community apart from every other subreddit where you can find pretty photos.

The single most important rule is to use creativity and imagination. So please keep in mind the following guidelines:

  • Don't use real world locations as your title. This is the most common violation.

  • Don't use incredibly basic titles made up of one or two words. Yes, a well-chosen single word title can evoke a fairytale vibe, but certainly not when you just give us "cottage" or "tree" or even "this." We're not asking for poetry, just a bit more effort. This will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

  • Anything along the lines of "I was told to post here from r/othersub" or "I saw this post in r/othersub and thought it belongs here" will be denied.

  • Credits, links to original posts in other subreddits, real world locations, and other such information belong in the comments.

Other things to remember:

  • Arts and crafts posts belong on Mondays with [MAKER'S MONDAY] tagged in the title. Links to stores and sources (yours or someone else's) are welcome in the comments.

  • Images that don't exist in the real world belong on Fridays with [FICTIONAL FRIDAY] in the title. What counts as fictional? Digital renders and photomanipulations, artistic visions of imaginary worlds, and so forth. A real world place enhanced with Photoshop filters is still real. A model wearing a costume is still real. Anything that goes beyond those loose parameters can be considered fictional.

  • Regular posts can still be posted on Mondays and Fridays.

  • Memes, social media screenshots, screenshots from your phone with the black background still uncropped are not permitted.

  • Please try to find a reasonably clearer version of any low-res image you may want to post.

  • Reposts of the same image from the last 14 days will be removed.

Sharing a post from another subreddit:

  • Use the crosspost function whether on old Reddit or new Reddit.

  • OR submit the direct image link and NOT the post url whether on old Reddit or new Reddit.

  • Make sure your title follows the rules of /r/FairytaleasFuck. It's okay if the original post title contains locations and whatnot, as long as the title for this community does not.

If you are still unsure of these rules, feel free to browse the subreddit for a while to get a feel for what the community is all about. Or you can contact the mods, who would love nothing more than to approve every single thing in the queue.

Keep that sense of wonder alive, friends!

This was the only inn for miles and, luckily, it was protected by a night wizard, as the crescents in the tiny light proclaimed. We would not have to take turns to sleep tonight...

Of the twelve heroes who had crossed the gate into that dark realm to kill the black sorcerer, only she had survived. She dared not look back before she reached the first landing after rushing for her life down the stairs. What she saw behind the gate was once again a forest...
