Submission Guidelines
Anyone can submit a Dark Skies fanfic to this site and there's
a good chance it will go up. There are a few common-sense considerations
to be borne in mind.
-
Although your story will be your own copyright it will not be possible
to sell it commercially to anyone other than those who hold the current
copyright on the Dark Skies franchise, namely Sony Pictures.
-
There is no place for obscene material on this site. If you want to portray
a love scene use the treatment of love scenes in the show as a guide, nothing
overly explicit.
-
Similarly relentless graphic violence is out of place here.
-
Keep the stories between 3000 and 7000 words long, give or take a hundred
or so words. Anything longer should be split up into manageable chunks.
-
When employing historical characters use either those who are dead - and
who thus cannot sue - or treat the living in a manner which will not raise
objections. Defamatory material will not be posted for obvious reasons.
-
Material should be submitted in one of the following formats: Word files
(.doc), HTML files (.htm, .html) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). As a last
resort I'll take plain text or ascii files but you surrender your formatting
to my whim (heh heh).
-
Stories should make an effort to be consistent with the Dark Skies
series and ideally tap into the same vein of conspiracy theory.

Boyce, and I'll pass on what words of wisdom I can. |
