Fanfiction/Fanart
Submission Guide
The following document is based off the submission format at the RRYaoi Archive, and defines the preferred format for sending a fic through the ML. If you prefer, you can also archive your work at Yaoiville.net
Submission Format
Preferred submission format for fiction is text. Any other format sent through email (i.e. Rich text, html, etc) may not show up in all email programs
Subject Line
Subject line for fics and/or pics should always start with one of the
following:
[fic] (fiction) or [pic] (artwork)
Failure to use these may result in your work not being seen, as many people rely on these
headers to know when new content is submitted, versus a discussion.
Any warnings should be included in the subject line as well. An example of a
correctly formated subject line for a multiple part fic is as follows:
[fic] Fic Title [1/?] [lemon]
[fic] states whether is a story or [pic] arwork. This is followed by the title. The
next part, [1/?] specifies which chapter is being posted, and how many parts in total.
If it is an undetermined number of parts, then use the "?" for the second number. In
the example, [lemon] indicates the fic is a lemon (graphic sexual content) and is labeled
accordingly. In the case of one-shot fics, the number of parts can either be omitted
completely, or can be labeled as [1/1]. If a fic has multiple warnings, (i.e. lemon,
angst, non-con, death, etc) then the following format is acceptable.
[fic] Fic Title [1/?] [warnings]
This will alert others to read the warnings in the body of the email carefully.
Message Body
The following format should be used in the body of the message.
Title:
Author:
Email: (if different from the one being used to post with)
Part: (if more than one)
Disclaimer:
Warning: (List all applicable warnings here)
Rating: (using the US movie rating system: G - PG - PG-13 - R - NC-17)
Summary:
Pairing: (optional)
When writing, please use hard line breaks between paragraphs, or the fic will come out as one big blob of text.
Example: This is one paragraph...
...And this is another.
Fan Art
Because of security, attachments have been disabled through the ML. There are two ways to submit art.
1. Upload the file at the group page on Yahoo.
You can either let Yahoo automatically send a notification to the group, or else post a
message yourself. The latter is preferred, (especially if posting more than one piece),
as you can include the following information:
Pic Title: (if any)
Artist:
Email: (if different from the one being used to post with)
Disclaimer:
Warning: (If art contains any graphic content)
Rating: (using the US movie rating system: G - PG - PG-13 - R - NC-17 )
Character/Pairing:
2. Post a link to the picture. Again, the above info should be posted in the message body.
Legalese
Unless otherwise stated by the writer, all characters are assumed to be the property of the original creators.All works of fanfiction/fanart belong to their respective creators. Plagerism is not tolerated. Any work that is found to have been stolen in one form or another will immediately be removed from the site.
