We have very basic submission rules, most of which act simply as guidelines. It's generally accepted that using the archive with some common sense and common courtesy is just fine but just in case you aren't sure on certain issues here are the rules.

1. All stories must contain at least one of the following characters, Dr. Elizabeth Weir or Dr.Rodney McKay; preferably both.

2. Stories submitted must be proofread at the very least. Administrators reserve the right to remove/reject stories with an inordinate amount of spelling/grammar errors. If English is not your native language or you have problems with spelling and/or grammar please obtain a betareader.

3. No Real Person fiction is allowed with exception of authors writing themselves into stories (which we hope would only be done in parodies).

4. No underage relationships are allowed, i.e relationships between an adult and a minor. We take age of a minor as under 16 and age of an adult as 18. Between 16-18 is a difficult area considering this is an international site, but for example a relationship between a 16-18 year old and someone of similar age would be allowed, but pairing a 30-40 year old character with a 16 year old is not. Age gaps are understandable but we will not accept large age gaps for relationships with characters under 18, nor graphic portrayal of relationships for under 16 year olds even if paired with similarly aged partner. Hopefully this is fairly clear, if not please contact us for clarification before posting anything that you're not certain of.

5. All stories submitted must be your own work - plaigarism of others work will not be tolerated. Though fanfiction the stories are still considered copyright of the writer with exception of the disclaimer clauses. Therefore such an offense will result in banning and removal of members account. Songfics and quoting of other sources are allowed, but there must be more original work than the quoted source/lyrics - we urge authors to use quotes sparingly, only when they make a point.

Lastly, because this is automated archive, with self-submission, authors are responsible for the correct categorization of stories. Please use the system sensibly, categories and genres should be straight forward. If you have any problems please refer to either the help section or the glossary of terms.

Incase of a site failure we strongly recommend authors keep several copies of their files. We will not be held responsible for backing up content of this site so ALWAYS keep a copy of any submissions.
