So you've created a fanfic. A new work of EarthBound superbness. You absolutely must show it to the world and what better place than the number one unofficial EarthBound site, Starmen.Net? Hold onto your horses, little friend. There are rules you must follow before submitting your lovely piece of textual art to our fair site. So read on and learn what you must abide by:
1) All fanfics must be at least 500 words in length. (One page, single spaced 12 pt. font) Note that titles and author commentary will not count towards this total.
2) No fanfic may contain profanity, sexual content or be overly violent. Everything must be kept family friendly.
3) All fanfics must be of a tasteful nature. For example nothing overly violent or stupid. Untasteful fanfics will be rejected.
4) All fanfics must be submitted in HTML or RTF. No other format will be accepted.
5) All fanfic filenames must have no capitals or spaces. It also helps to have numbers for serial fanfics (ie. "union1.htm," "union2.htm," etc.)
6) Try to be as gramatically correct as possible. Good spelling and punctuation is encouraged as well. Most word processors have a spelling and grammar check feature. If you have no word proccesor then try OpenOffice which is an open source office suite. Fics with terrible spelling, grammar or sentence structure will be rejected.
7) No plagiarism. Stealing other people's works is bad, mmmkay?
8) Do not complain if your fanfic does not appear in the next update. I do have a life outside of Starmen.Net and it does take some time to review fanfics especially if there is a large number or just a large fic. You will be contacted if your fic has been rejected.
