SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:   The Snape Slash Fleet ships are always open to new recruits. If you have a fic you'd like to submit to the Snape/Lupin ship, please read over our submission guidelines. We're delighted to archive your fic, but unfortunately, we can't provide beta-reading services as well. If you're interested in having your fic beta-read before submitting it to the SFF, try The Beta List. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING TO ANY SHIP: 1. Complete stories only, no works-in-progress (WIPs). WIPs can be a bit difficult for the archivists to keep up with, and also frustrating for the readers, especially if there are long gaps between installments. 2. Any rating is fine, from G to NC17. 3. All submitted stories must have a header with the following information: title, author, rating, up to three categories your story fits, and disclaimers. See below for examples of different category choices. 4. Please submit your fic to the appropriate ship site. For example, a story submitted to Silver and Black should focus primarily on a slash relationship between Snape and either Draco or Lucius Malfoy, not Snape/Neville. Fic involving romantic triangles are acceptable. 5. PLEASE spellcheck and proofread before submitting your fic. 6. Please let the archivist know if you want your email included for feedback purposes. GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING TO SPECIFIC SHIP SITES: The Headmaster's Study (S/Dumbledore): Do not submit fics as attachments; send them as text in the body of an email. Here There Be Slash (S/Lupin): Fics submitted as attachments are preferred. HTML formatting optional. King of Cups, Knave of Pentacles (S/Neville): Do not submit fics as attachments; send them as text in the body of an email. Do not submit fics in HTML format.

Drama/Angst--Any story in which the plot is primarily dramatic or angst-driven. Humor/Parody--Any story in which the plot is light, humorous, or some form of parody. Action/Adventure--Any story in which the plot focuses primarily on action over romance or relationship issues. Example: a fic about the final battle with Voldemort. Romance--Any story in which the plot revolves around getting two characters to fall in love. This category includes sentimental pieces, schmoop, WAFF, and fluff. Hurt/Comfort (H/C)--Any story in which one of the main characters suffers an extreme form of mental, physical, or emotional damage, and the other main character has to heal him in some way. Pre-Slash--Any story in which the characters do not become romantically or sexually involved, but the slash dynamic is definitely there. These are usually first stories in a series, in which the relationship is later developed. First Time--Any story in which one of the primary focuses is the first time the two main characters have sex. It doesn't necessarily mean one or both of the characters are virgins, only that it's their first time together. Plot-What-Plot (PWP)--Any story in which the primary focus is sex, and not much else. Alternate Universe (AU)--Any story in which any aspect of canon is significantly altered. Example: Harry being sorted into Slytherin.     :: HOME :: BY AUTHOR :: BY PAIRING :: LINKS :: LINK TO US :: SSF UPDATE LIST :: VISIT OTHER SSF SHIPS ::
