Story Guidelines
- Stories must be typed and double-spaced
- Stories must be complete. Discussing unfinished stories is a
frustrating and largely futile exercise. Endings are difficult, but
necessary. (If you aren't satisfied with an ending, it can always be revised
later.)
- All stories are works-in-progress, under development. However, these
drafts should not be rough. Allow time to smooth out your sentences, run
spell check, punctuate correctly, etc. Make sure your draft is
reasonable clean before turning it in for copying.
- Include your name on the first page.
- The story must have a title. (If you don't like it, change it
later.)
- Number your pages.
- Your subject matter is up to you, but consider your audience. If you
are prone to writing extremely violent or horrific stories, please check with
me first.
- Drafts of stories should be a minimum of 8 pages and a maximum of 25
pages.
