Submission Rules
SUBMISSION RULES Fiction - Every chapter must be at least 500 words long. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- Every chapter must have proper grammar.
- Every chapter must have been run through spell-check. Your chapter can and will be rejected if this rule has not been followed. Not having MS Word is not an excuse -- there are good online spellcheckers here and here.
- Absolutely no smut. Rated R is fine, though. Just be sure to rate your story appropriately.
- "Untitled", "Please read me", etc. are not appropriate titles for stories. "I suck at summaries", "Just read it", etc. are not appropriate summaries. If either of these are found, the title/summary will be changed to something more appropriate, as determined by the admin.
- Stories must be categorized appropriately. Only put your story in one category.
- Use the preview button. Stories that do not have proper line breaks or paragraphs will be rejected.
- Summaries may not be longer than 100 words.
- Banners in summaries may not exceed 300x150 in size. You may only have one banner per story.
- Only submit one chapter at a time. More than one story is fine, but only single chapters may be submitted at a time.
- You must wait at least 24 hours before resubmitting a rejected piece. This is merely for my sanity and to give you all more time to revise.
- Do not put author's notes in the middle of your story.
- "Lists" are no longer allowed.
- If your songfic contains more lyrics than story, it will be deleted. Songfics must contain 500 words of fic, excluding lyrics.
Poetry - Poetry must be at least four lines long. Couplets and haikus are wonderful, but don't just write one per "chapter", put a couple. If necessary, I may increase the minimum.
