Contributer Guidelines
I'm looking for good writers to tell good stories. Stories may be any length. Short is fine, long is better. Much, much better. For slash, any rating, any pairing, members of the Fellowship preferred, but please no immediate-family incest. This includes foster-parents, so no Gandalf/Frodo, Bilbo/Frodo, Elrond/Aragorn, etc. Cousins are not a problem. Light, dark, humorous or tragic--any tone will do.
Authors should be familiar with the source material, whether the movie or the books or both, and should be able to write in a Tolkienesque voice. No modernisms or slang, please. Anachronisms make me shudder. Unpublished stories only. That means they cannot have been posted anywhere, even on a list or a live journal.
The scary part: The editor will edit. This includes grammar, style, characterization, and content. I will try to send editorial suggestions to the authors as quickly as possible, and ask that revisions be completed in the same way, though not, of course, so quickly that it's detrimental to the writing process. Please have stories beta-read before submitting.
Please send submissions in Word if at all possible. If not, a text file is fine. I request that stories be in Times New Roman 12 point font, single-spaced, with indentation at the start of each paragraph.
I will do edits and comments in Track Changes whenever possible. If your system doesn't have Track Changes, please let me know when you submit the story. Things get messy otherwise.
Also seeking cover and interior art, black and white or color, for both slash and gen zines.
Please send submissions to: silvablu@comcast.net
