slashababy | Dec. 16th, 2008

Please send your SlashaBaby story to secret.slasha @ gmail.com as an attachment in plain text (.txt file). Name the attached file "submission_from_yourname.txt" (where yourname is your LJ user name or first name, whichever you signed up with).

The story should be formatted the same way as for an LJ post: please use <i></i> for italics and <b></b> for bold, but don't put in lj-cut tags or a disclaimer (we will add those.) Please separate paragraphs with a blank line.

( If you use MS Word )

( Smart quotes and special characters (with visual aids) )

( Header template )

Beta Readings Are Good.

Especially if you are new to fanfic or Lotrips, we urge you to have at least one beta reader, and preferably another as well. If stories with characters who are not from your country, please have someone Britpick (or Ameri-pick, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina). This goes double if the story is set in a foreign country.

Reminder: stories are due on December 23.

If you have a problem that might keep you from finishing on time, please contact us as soon as possible, the sooner the better!

As usual, if you have any questions about formatting or about anything else, email us at secret.slasha @ gmail.com
