As we get closer to the fest deadline (just about a month!) we thought we should post our submission guidelines for those of you who are ready to submit your fic/art! If you have any questions, please let us know!


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

- When you send your submission please include your username in the email subject as well as fic or art.

- Don't forget to include an lj-cut tag in your story. The lj-cut text should be "The Title of your Fic". (i.e < lj-cut text = "FIC TITLE" >)

- Please check the formatting of your fic to ensure there are manual line breaks between paragraphs. There is a problem with some Microsoft Word settings and you have to double space manually!

- Include all other other html coding that is needed. Please test post your submission in a private entry to your journal before submitting.

- A good way to check to make sure your story is formatted correctly is to post it in a private entry in your own journal. That way you can easily see if there’s anything amiss in your coding/formatting.

- The fic/art header appears below. Please include your header in both the .doc and the email.
