Cooking up a good story?

1. All stories must be written with a beginning, middle, and end. It's best to re-read it before you send it so you can be sure it makes sense.

2. I will need to have your e-mail address when you submit your story. However, if you do not want your name and e-mail posted, specify that when you send in your story and I will not post them.

3. I'm not a bear about censorship, but I don't want racism, sexism, or any other "ism" in my site. I will not post your story if I find the preceding. Please don't make your stories too gory (now don't get me wrong, I want some gore) and keep your sex scenes down to a minimum, k? This isn't a porno site or anything.....

4. Please, please check your spelling! I could (and will, if the story is good enough) edit it myself, but I don't need the extra headache, and if it is so bad I can't understand it, I won't post it.

5. Have fun. I would prefer scary stories, but it can be sad, funny, scary, whatever, as long as it has to do with the paranormal or "dark side" and it's good.

Please understand:
I have no way of telling if a story belongs to the person who sent it to me. If you see your story listed on my site under another person's name, or if it is a story that has a copyright to another site, kindly let me know and I will either give you credit for the story or remove it at your will.

Think someone's going to steal your work?
Hope I didn't scare you. This rarely happens, and I do all I can to prevent it. Besides, copyright protection is automatic upon creation of a work. If that doesn't soothe you and you'd like more assurance, you should pay a visit and look under "forms" at the U.S. Copyright Office.
