The guidelines are very simple. The stories must fit into one of the anthology categories: Hanson's everyday life, freaky stories, or romance stories. The story needs to have at least 500 words but no more than 6,000 words (a few words short or over will be fine, and in rare cases longer or shorter stories will be accepted).

For the "When The Minutes Seem Like Hours" anthology: These stories can be about anything that might happen in a normal Hanson member's day. It can be something unusual, unexpected, or completely normal. It can be something that could quite possibly happen. It doesn't have to be happy or cheerful or perky.

For the "Lying in Your Silence" anthology: Gore, sex, drugs... Anything goes. Make it as X-rated as you please.

For the "Surely as the Sun" anthology: Make it sappy, saccharine, and sweet as you please. Really pour on the emotional juices. A real tear-jerker type romance story.

When sending in a story, the following information will be required:

- your first name, screen name, or pen name.
- an e-mail address at which you can be contacted

The subject line of your e-mail should says "Submission:" and then have the title of your story, a dash (-) and the anthology into which you wish to place your story. You will need to attach an html document containing your story (in most current versions of writing documents now on computers, there is the option to save the document under "Save as HTML").

If you do not know have a writing document that will let you do this, send your story here and it will be converted for you. Make sure the same information as in a regular submission is included, as well as the story title.

Your submission will be rated by a panel of judges. The story's average score will determine whether or not it makes it in. (Note: The stories read by judges will be anonymous. They won't know who writes which stories, so as to avoid any personal conflicts.) You will receive a letter shortly after your submission telling you whether or not your story has been chosen. If you don't make it in on your first try, keep submitting. Don't let us slow you down!!

Thanks!! All submissions are being accepted here.
