What I look for in a fic I publish:
- Good grammar and spelling. (Come on people, put a little effort into it. Being less then perfect won't stop me from posting your fic, but it increases your chances.I'm also willing to do SOME editing, but it will take longer for your fic to be posted if you do that to me.)
- Creative (ALOT of people have done the Pan comes home from college thing...etc. Look through the fics already there and notice how different they are from each other. If you need really good ideas, find people who are willing to do writing challenges. This basically tests really good authors, and gives people with little time or skill to get their ideas out there.)
- Written with Style (Lisalu's Red Moon is a PERFECT example. As is Rayne's Automatic Flowers. Trinityblue is an alright example as well.)
- Good Character Development (add little details about Trunks and Pan... just make them up, since you don't get much from Dragonball about their personalities. Petrified Tears, By Panabelle, is a fabulous example.)
- Audience Interest(If other people don't care about it, whats the point of posting it? Notice: I usually post ones that I'm interested in... look through the fics and look at what links most of them together. I'm pretty eccentric, but not so much that you couldn't tell... Humor and sexual tension, all parts of normal life, pull huge points with me.)
Think your fic fits? Email it to me at trunks_luver@hotmail.com
Here's my reply to an email from someone who wished to have me post a few fics off a site.
The poetry was wonderful, once I took a second look at it, but I'm not truly interested in posting poetry on my site. I read through part of the first fanfic, and I'm definetly not interested in that. It was badly written, with little detail and even less true writing style. The 2nd fic was definetly a digimon fic. And I'm not sure what the third one, entitled 'Letters' was, but it wasn't Trunks and Pan. I do apologize, but I am not interested in posting mediocre, one size fits all work on my site. Thank you for your interest in Kat's Kradle.
Later,
Kat
