An oversight on my part. It was on a restricted forum for controlling the main page; here it is:After much thought and going over other archive sites and their multitudinous guidelines for posting, I would like Authors to be aware of the following guidelines for stories submitted for posting at the Eunuch Archive: Spelling and Grammar – Grammatical disasters will not be accepted. The story must be easily readable. Ask for help if you need it; it’s available. Paragraphs – Stories in one huge chunk of text will not be accepted. Oddly spaced material will not be accepted. Please see the link about formatting below and read it. http://www.eunuch.org/format.htm Punctuation – Not a biggie, but important. Quotes, etc., are important to readability. A sample dialogue will soon be posted for an example. Violence/Gore/Snuff – There’s a tag called WARNING when you post the story. Use it. If I get a rude surprise reading it, into the trash it goes. There’s also a box for a brief synopsis of the story. Use it. Untagged Snuff will immediately be trashed. Story Description Tags – Use them, that’s why they are there. Stories with NO tags at all will be trashed. I will edit erroneous tags. Sex/Gore/Off-topic Themes – EA hosts genital mutilation stories whether M/F/TG/etc. Sex stories with no such theme should be placed somewhere else like Nifty, etc. Someone has to lose something “down there” for it to qualify. Rampant murder/mutilation for the sake of shock will not be accepted, even if it does involve a genital mutilation. Plot Lines – Stories with no real plot that make no sense will be trashed. Dead characters don’t talk back. See #6. Multi-Part Stories – Two or three paragraphs don’t qualify as a “Part 1”. If it’s only 15k or so, add to it. See #7. Foreign Languages – These are fine, provided that I can get a translation. Your patience is expected and appreciated. Plagiarism – Don’t even try to use someone else’s story/characters without permission. If you want to revise an OLD story of your own, let me know. If you want to take off in someone else’s “world,” per say, get their permission and let me know. Last but Not Least – If your submission didn’t show up within two (2) days and I didn’t make a post about EA server errors, then it got rejected and no amount of whining is going to bring it back. Feel free to ask though, as sometimes things do just evaporate. Sometimes the EA4040 Vulture gets hungry!These guidelines are not an effort to make anyone intentionally angry. They’re to serve a purpose. I am spending far too much time cleaning things up now, and it’s got to change. Older members may recall the days of the “once a month” updates in stories, and if B. got sick, you were sh*t-outta-luck. We don’t want to go back to that, hence these tips. –Paolo. 🚬
