Community Guidelines

General Community Guidelines

Community Focus: All posts must be "The Americans"-related in some way. We are always excited to welcome new members, but please refrain from posting simple introductions to yourself without including some sort of show-related discussion topic (a question, observation, speculation, etc.) or new information/media along with it.


Actor Discussion: Please do not bash or gossip about the actors/actresses involved in the show. We welcome and encourage talk about why you like or dislike a character, or whether or not you think a particular actor/actress portrays their character in a way that you find convincing, but would prefer that community members refrain from personal attacks and speculation about their personal lives.


Episode Discussion: Once the second season starts, one of the community hosts will be posting a weekly open discussion post for every newly aired episode. Please try to keep all general episode discussion/speculations/etc. to those posts. If you want to talk about something larger in scope than just that week's episode, however, please feel free to use a new post.


Content Warnings: The Americans is rated TV-MA. This means the show is designed for adults and is unsuitable for audience under 17. Episodes contain crude language, explicit sexual activity, and graphic violence. All discussion and fanworks based on show material may contain such aspects without prior warning. For more on triggers in fanworks, please see the fanworks guidelines.


Spoilers: All information pertaining to unaired episodes (titles, summaries, screencaps, casting calls, etc.) are considered spoilers and should be put behind a cut until at least one week after the episode has aired.  Please warn of spoilers in the subject line.


Fanworks: Fanworks (fanfiction, art, picspam, icons, etc.) are allowed and encouraged. Please see the fanworks guidelines below.


Cuts: If you're posting a long article or a large image (more than 500x500,), place it under a cut.


Tags: Tagging will be handled by the comm hosts.


Announcements: If you'd like to make an announcement about a new community, ficathon, etc., it's probably okay as long as you can give an on-topic, "The Americans" spin on it, but please check with one of the community hosts (jae or treonb ) by private message before posting it. When you make it, your post should make clear that a host gave permission.

Conversation question of the week #1

[jae]

Welcome to theamericans! treonb and I created this space in the hopes that it will become a place for fans of this great show to hang out, talk, squee, and of course share fanworks of all kinds. The idea is to tide us over until the start of the second season so that the post-season-one withdrawal becomes a bit more bearable! *g*

In the interest of generating some conversation about the show, I'm planning to post a question a week (usually on Sunday or Monday) that everybody can respond to. I will do my best to make the questions broad enough and open-ended enough that hopefully everybody feels like they have a response (so nothing too thinky-meta-ish).

The first one, in the spirit of looking forward from the finale, is: What are three things that you're hoping to see happen in season two? (You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.)

(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)
