========== Safyre Key Creations Cyber-Fiction Submission Guidelines - by Melissa Koh [safyre@jade-court.darkgod.net] - ========== Created on: 18.01.2000 Revised on: 16.03.2000 As a rule, I'm not picky, not because I read *everything*, but rather, I would like to create a recommendation section that's all-rounded. However, for the safety of my mental state of health and the more conservative readers, I would request that before submitting any cyber-fiction, please read the following guidelines. None of the following is subjective to discussion unless I say otherwise. Andbelieve me, I don't think I ever will. i. Technically speaking, all genres are allowed to be submitted, except for the few that revolves around pedophilia -- which also translates to kiddie porn to be crude -- steamy romance, teen romance, necrophilia, xenophilia -- I'm a self- professed xenophobe -- and any material that will be rated as obscene, disgusting and a threat to even the iron will of adults. The only exceptions are *Yaoi* & *Lemon* but even then, don't even think about posting bondage & S&M titles. Mild or implied bondage, however, will be given a second look. ii. No spamming. Any attempts will only result in unpleasant situations that involve heavy property damage. iii. All submissions will be screened by yours truly as soon as she finds time, though she reserves the right to reject the submission without prior notice. iv. Selected fiction will be placed in the guest section of the Reading Room. Melissa Koh will give due credit to the author & reader, though comments are based solely on the webmistress's inanity and possible insanity. v. I'm not going to restrict the style or format that you wish to present your recommendations, but I _do_ require the basics like title of the fic, author & location at the very least. If you're feeling up to it, feel free to write a review about the fic as well ^^ vi. Don't worry about informing the author first. After you've submitted the information, and I've screened the story to see that it follows the guidelines more or less, I'll personally email him/her myself. vii. Authors are more than welcome to submit their work. In fact, if Goddess is willing, post me a copy of the story if you'd like someone to proof-read it, or post it direct in Interactive. I won't stop you. viii. One last requirement: all stories should be written in English, proof-read by the author at least once, and relatively free from inane grammatical and vocabulary mistakes ^_^ - E n d - Part of Safyre Key Creations ~ http://jade-court.darkgod.net Copyright (c) Melissa Koh 2000.
