So, I'm publishing an e-magazine of fan fiction, first issue tomorrow. I got a name for it: Blazing Guns/Flashing Swords(I know, I know. *crawls away and hides under the rug*).

If you want to get added to the mailing list, just send me an e-mail to fanficmag@gmail.com.

If you have a fan fiction you'd like to publish, check out the format below.

This is for fanfiction, but I'm willing to put in pictures, drawings, poetry, maps, whatever. Basically, anything to fill it up.

To subscribe won't cost you a dime; but by the same token, I can't pay you nothing for your contributions; sorry.

The good news is, if you get published, that's writing credit, which improves your chances of getting any original fiction published in a real magazine.


SUBSCRIBING

Just send an e-mail to fanficmag@gmail.com with 'Subscribing' in the subject line.


CONTRIBUTING

Lat me say upfront: if you contribute a story to the magazine, you retain all rights to it: I'm not asking for any exclusive rights: all I'm asking for is permission to pblish and archive your story.

Format:

Send contributions as text in the body of an e-mail to: fanficmag@gmail.com

Subject line: Contributing.

First line: Author's name, e-mail address, Author's home page;

Second line: fanfiction subject(Naruto, Warhammer, World of Darkness, etc.)

Third line: Story title, Word Count;

Text of Story.
(Do NOT use indents: double space between paragraphs; all text will be published in the same size and font, so any fancy formatting tricks won't work. Sorry.)

Author's comments



Guidelines:

1, Length:

Up to 3,000 words is optimum; I'm willing to go up to 5,000 words; longer stories may be published as serials, by arrangement.

2, Foul language:

In moderation, I have no problem with vulgar language; it depends on how much, and how it is usede: if your characters can have a conversation and curse two or three times, that's fine; if there's two or three conversations in the whole story they don't curse, that's a problem.

3, No netspeak:

If one or two characters speak in netspeak, that's no problem, but the body of the story has gotta be recognizably English.

4, Original fiction:

I am not opposed to original fiction, but this is for fanfiction, so any original writings will have to take back seat.

5, Poetry:

No problem; just so long as it follows the guidelines.

6, Pictures and drawings:

No problem: may be published by arrangement.

7, Editing:

I will not edit your stories; they will be published exactly the way you wrote them. By the same token, I will not fix typos.

8, Sex:

It's normal, it's natural, sex will not automatically get your story disqualified, but NO pornography!

9, Spelling:

If you have a spellchecker, use it: like I said, I won't fix typos.
