Fanfic Submission Guidelines

I'm not going to be extremely picky about this, but I thought it was about time that I add some submission guidelines to make the fanfic easier to post. When you send the fanfic in I need the following things:

* Title
* Author's name
* Author's e-mail (tell me if you don't want the email posted, otherwise it will be)
* Ratings would be really nice, but that's optional (I'll get to those.)
* A short description can also be added, but again, you don't have to if you don't want to.
* The fanfic itself should be sent either typed in the email, as a link, or as a word document/html file attached to the email. But please, please, please double space your paragraphs. This makes the html codes so much easier to put in.

Rules

Rule #1: I'm not going to be picky about grammar, just make sure that it's readable. (In other words, don't get the accents too far out of hand) You might want to proofread any fanfic before you send it. You know, make sure you have periods and other punctuation. Capitalization is nice as well. Please, at least make an attempt at basic grammar.

Rule #2: Absolutely no NC-17 fanfics! I can stand violence and cursing (do try not to go completely out of hand with that either, please) but I'm not going to read any detailed sex scenes. If I find them, I'm going to stop reading the fanfic and it's not going up. And on another note, someone sent in a fanfic with shonen-ai (male/male affection) and I had a nice long debate with myself before I posted it. Basically, if you plan to write anything like that, please don't go beyond feelings. I don't mean to offend anyone, it's just my personal preference that it doesn't go beyond that.

Rule #3: Um... follow rules 1 and 2!

Ratings

G- No adult language, no violence, no adult content.. you get the idea. One curse word puts it in the PG range.

PG- Mild violence and mild language. Minimal amounts.

PG13- About an average amount of violence, language, and/or content.

R- Quite a bit of violence, language, and/or content.

NC17- You will not find that fanfic on this site. Basically if it has scenes in it like something from a harlequin romance, it's not going up.

Remember!

Okay, so when you're sending in fanfic:
* Title, I have to have this!
* Author's name
* Either email or a request not to have email posted.
* Rating (optional)
* Short summary (optional)
* Make sure there is double spacing between the paragraphs (meaning you push enter twice when starting a new paragraph)
* Capitalize, puncuate, use your knowledge of basic grammar.
* Absolutely no detailed sex scenes! And please keep male/male relationships to nothing more than feelings. (I don't mean to sound prejudice, but this is my website and it's my choice what goes up and what doesn't.)

Made sure you have everything you need and have followed the rules and regulations? Okay, now if you want to send some fanfic in you can send it to me at dolphins_echo@hotmail.com. Thanks! And I'll get back with you to tell you it's been posted!
