Regulations for Submission

The Tomes of Eltare Submission Regulations

My regulations are few, but I do have a few pet peeves from those people who have been sending their stuff to me in certain forms. So here now are the requirements for fanfiction submission.

Please make sure your fanfiction is well-written and readable, with zero grammar or spelling errors. Those who say "please forgive spelling because I was too tired" are also apparently too lazy to activate Spellcheck in their Word or Works program. I WILL read these before I post them.
All fanfiction must be Power Rangers and Original Writings. No other genres will be accepted at this time. You may cuss, but I won't accept anything gratuitous. And any fanficition consisting of homosexual relationships that arrive in the Submissions Inbox will promptly be sent back with a smile and a "no thank you" attatched. Sorry, I'm a Christian, and that's how the cookie crumbles.
Include a one-sentence teaser with your fanfiction submission. Something that summarizes your fic in, say, twelve words or less. Those fics that I really like that are sent without teasers I will put teasers on, otherwise, sorry, bucko. Also, if your submission is part of a series, please tell me what number in the series it is, and make sure you include the title of the series.
All fanfiction can be sent to toeltare_submit@crowfans.net. DO NOT send me zipped files, I will gladly send them back and delete them off of my mail account. Also, do not send me .htm files of your fics that you got from somewhere else. I don't have the time to cut out all the useless HTML code. I want a cut-and-paste email. If the only way you can get one of your fics is off someone else's site, then right-click your mouse somewhere on the webpage and select "View Source" (At least, that's what it says on Internet Explorer. I don't know what it will say on Netscape. I don't know, nor will I tell you, because Netscape is a piece of garbage and I refuse to use it. It should be "View-something-or-other". Use your common sense). Then you can copy-and-paste your fic onto a Word document on onto an email and send it to me. Not too hard, now, is it? If your fic is too long to simply cut-and-paste onto the body of an email, please attatch your Word or Works document onto the email, and send it that way.
Please note that all fanfiction MUST be in novel format. No scripts allowed.
All fanfiction must be submitted in standard HTML format. No HTML, no accepted fanfiction. It's that simple. If your fic is sent in without HTML, I will reply to you ONCE and tell you to add the proper tags. Here, by the way, are the proper tags:

Put this at the beginning of your submission:

<head> <title>TITLE OF YOUR FIC</title> </head> <BODY bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" alink="#800080" vlink="#ff0000">

<h3 align=center>TITLE OF YOUR FIC By: YOUR NAME HERE</h3>

And then the body of your fic can go here.

Please use proper tags throughout your fanfiction. These include paragraph markers, italics markers, et al. Here are examples:
Paragraph: 
Italics: 
Underline: 
Bold: 
Center: <center>

To denote the end of the bold, center, italic, or underline, simply put a slash before the letter. Ex: to "turn off" underline. This is not necessary for paragraphs because putting a before each paragraph automatically begins a new one.

To denote space in a fanfic, you can use the "centered asterisks" that many authors use:

**********

Or you can use the <hr> to make a nice line cut right across the page:

If you wish to use a disclaimer, simply do the following:

Please follow those rules and guidelines when submitting your fanfiction. Keep in mind that I will take just about anything if it's reasonable and readable, as we are just starting out. Following these guidelines will make everyone's lives easier, and keep my stress levels to a minimum. Thanks. =)
