Submission Guidelines


Once you've read the guidelines, you may submit your stories to:
[email protected]

Submissions should be sent as text files (.txt), htm or html files, or Word documents (.doc)
Text is preferred
as it is easier for me to work with. You may send text files as the entire e-mail.

Like most things in life, there are exceptions to every rule; however, don't depend on it. If your story falls outside the guidelines, please say so up front. The decision to keep reading will be mine.

The Most Important Things To Avoid:
1-Easy things like spelling, sentence structure, grammar and punctuation errors
2-Plot holes
3-Really bad writing-I will accept any story where I personally do not care for the characters of the particular timeline or whatever. I will not accept badly written stories.

How To Avoid Them:
1-Get a Beta Reader
2-Get a Beta Reader
3-Get a Beta Reader

If you would like to be listed as an available beta reader, please let me know.

HTML Coding Rules:
No head or body commands. I will do all the page coding. What I would like you to do is paragraph and line breaks, any centering and italics and bold commands. If I have approached you for archiving, I will do all the coding myself.
