submission guidelines

content

1. No snuff, slash, or any other form of horribly violent sexual content will be accepted for the archives or the contests. This includes excessively violent rape* scenarios. If an author or artist wishes to include scenes of this in a fic or art, they must first send previews (whether that be in clips from the fic or detailed ideas) to the Fates and have them accepted. Material may be rejected.
   
   
2. NO gay-bashing of any kind will be accepted in a fic or art. The 3 Fates have no respect at all for someone who enters this kind of contest with an entry that is anti-homosexual themed. Remember, we will be looking over these fics before judgement, and if at ANY point we find something that is insulting in any way to homosexuals, the entry will be disqualified.
   
   { The same applies for heterosexual-bashing -- while rare, it is still done, and we don't want to be prejudiced either way. ~ Prism, always on sticking-up-for-heterosexuals duty because Wyvern and Kaminiko are such yaoi fanatics. I don't see why people can't all be hermits. }
   
   

The three Fates do not completely object to rape scenarios in a fanfic or fanart. HOWEVER, we do not love the prospect either. If there is a situation (especially in a fanfiction) where a character is raped, it must not be the meat of the fic. If the fic is completely centered around the rape itself (as in the actual action), and there is very little other depth, (as in the emotional consequences of such horrible violation) the fic will not be accepted. And we're not talking "oh, I feel so horrible. I want to die. Kiss me Quatre!", and that's it. We are gonna be veeeeeeeery picky about rape scenes, so be fore-warned. We're going to be looking for real comprehension of the severity of such an act, not necessarily a Disney-style ending (as in, "Rape is okay. I'm healed!"), and intense character depth. Basically, we're saying that if you don't know what you're doing, don't even touch the rape issue. Unless the piece is well crafted, we will not accept it for either the contest or the archives. And if it is well crafted, we will seize you in a virtual glomp and have a good cry together... Why are there no smilies for balling your eyes out?

Wyvern: *armed with mallet -- beware!* Get it? Got it? GOOD.
Prism: Then we should all get along like peas and carrots! Why DO peas and carrots get along?
Kaminiko: *snores* *Wyvern pokes her* -snerk snort- Ugh...rules...bah! I'm goin' back to sleep.
