Guidelines for Submissions

• The Mystic Muse will accept fan fiction of any genre.

• All pairings are welcome. No pairings are welcome, too.

• G to NC-17 and beyond accepted. All fiction should have rating disclaimers, especially warnings for those involving extreme sex and violence.

• Stories must be original and must include disclaimers acknowledging the owners of the fandom borrowed. Disclaimers should state that neither the author nor this site receives any compensation for the stories appearing within.

• No explicit stories featuring Dawn with an adult unless the story is set in the future when she’s legal. (Then go for it, baby!) This rule is subject to be broken, depending on the author and the story.

•  All stories should be edited, proofread and spell checked before submission. While no one is perfect, one of the purposes of writing fan fiction should be to improve your writing skills so an honest effort will be appreciated, but sloppy work will be rejected. Read the Hints for Authors to improve your chances of getting accepted.

• No ficlets or drabbles, please.

• Stories should be submitted in Word or plain text format with the following information posted in the beginning:

• Rating

• Disclaimer

• Distribution (other than here)

• Spoilers

• Feedback (Y/N)

• Pairing (if any)

• Author’s Notes

• Summary

• The Mystic Muse and its owner reserves the right to refuse any story submitted. However, we’re easy so give it a shot.

• To submit a story, send either the text of the story or as a Word attachment (preferred) in an email to Skeeter451@mysticmuse.net with “Mystic Muse Fiction Submission” as the subject. (Or click on the above link.)
