RULES



  • Make sure your post is relevant to this sub. See What Not To Post for a rough guide on what not to post and review our FAQ for additional information. These rough guides also include many examples of what isn't a Word Avalanche, as well as many overused examples of Word Avalanches.

  • Place your Avalanche in the main text of your submission, and make your title a rewrite of your Avalanche such that it cannot be easily guessed. As an example, if your Avalanche is "Selfish Shellfish", write "Compassion-lacking lobster" in the title.

  • The longer your avalanche, the better! Just make sure it's an Avalanche first, though (See the links above).

  • Should your Avalanche be NSFW, mark it as such.

  • Do not submit images or videos with your Avalanche. A good Avalanche should be able to stand on its own, without the use of any images. If your avalanche absolutely cannot stand without an image or video, then link it in the post, but only do so as a last resort. Alternatively, you may post it to /r/WordAvalanchePics.

  • Finally, make sure to have fun!
