How can you advertise a ff?

In your signature. If you are unable to put what you want in your signature please go to Madame Malkins. There you can submit your signature and read the rules and get a lot of signature help.

Um ...... Besides advertising your fanfics in ur signatures can you advertise them somewhere else also.........?

Nope, Only in your signature.

Is there a place I can open a topic asking for an idea for a fanfic? Would it be okay if I opened it on here...?

No, I'm afraid not, and if you post a topic like that its going to get closed down.

I was reading the rules and they were talking about EEFFDs and I was just wondering was that stood for.

EEFFD stands for the Evil Elite Fan Fiction Darers. It's a fan fiction dare game/club which began in Zonko's Joke Shop. It is now hosted in the FF Rules and Resources Forum so that people can find it better. Members provide a list of strange occurrences or items (A dare) that must be included in a short story. Participation is completely voluntary; members choose which dares they'll accept from an approved list of dares added to a post in the first page of the topic. More information about how to participate can be found in this thread.

How do you get to be an Evil Elite Fanfic thingy? like, where do you go to ask the people to give you one or whatever they do??

Look at the link in the previous answer. You'll find what you need to know there.

I have a question I want to post something that I wrote but its not really a Poem where do I post it at?
You may post it in one of the Fan Fiction sections, which are arranged by type, if it is a story. If it is a poem, you can post it in the poetry forum. If it is a more mature Fan Fic, It goes in the Restricted Section under The Forbidden Forest. Check The FF Rules to see the ratings guide. Stories deserving of an Sa16+ rating belong in the Restricted Section.

If I wanted to make a restricted fan fic do I just make it in the restricted place or do I post the topic somewhere first?

Go post it straight in the Restricted Section.

Just a random question of curiosity...how often do you have to delete fanfics? And usually for what reasons?

When a story hasn't been updated in one month, it's moved to the Inactive Fan Fics forum. After three months without any updates or requests by the author to reactivate it, it gets deleted forever. There are several Fan Fic Moderators who work the forums at their own pace, but usually we're pretty good about staying on top of inactive fics. Currently, evlpez is in charge of the Inactive Fics forum, and is pretty good at deleting threads on time (within a week of the three month mark of each thread). Other than inactivity, there are only a few reasons why a story might be deleted, and they usually involve people breaking the rules.

I was wondering...what's up with all the "open topic (no new replies)", "open topic (new replies)", "hot topic (no new replies)", and "hot topic (new replies)" classifications? What's that all about?

Those terms refer to the status of a thread since the last time you looked at it. Hot Topics have a certain (higher) number of replies, Open Topics are open topics to which people can reply, and New or No New Replies refers to whether there are new posts since your last visit.
