Fanfiction Submission Guidelines



GlowingCross.Net exists for the promotion of Weiss Kreuz Gluhen-based/inspired fanfiction and fanart. I am always on the lookout for new fanfiction to add to the archive, and I gladly accept submissions, with the caveat that I reserve the right to make the final decision on whether or not a fanfiction will be archived on this website. Likewise, if at any point in time an archived writer would like any or all of their fanfics removed from the site, they need only inform me by email and I will comply.

1. All varieties of fanfiction are welcome. I do not discriminate by pairing, genre, storyline, or rating. The only set in stone requirement is that the fanfic relates to Gluhen in some manner. Pre-Gluhen (post-Dramatic Precious), post-Gluhen, and Side B fics are all welcome, as are Alternate Universe/Alternate Timeline, so long as the relationship and "feel" of Gluhen is retained in the story. Not sure about it? Email me and I'll give it a read-through and let you know.

2. Submitted fanfiction is expected to be relatively free of typos, spelling errors, and grammar mistakes. The story should have at the very least been run through a simple spellchecker, though a beta reader would be preferable, for catching things a computer won't find, like misused homonphones. While I don't have the time to beta read everyone's fanfiction that is submitted, if you email me about it, I can try to set you up with a beta reader for your fanfiction.

3. Character bastardization is an ugly thing, and it's one of the few things I generally won't accept in fanfiction without a good justification backing it. While everyone's interpretation of the characters and their actions may be different, please keep in mind that if a character is acting especially out of character to the way they're portrayed in the series, there ought to be a good justification behind it - at least something more than just "I hate the character and I needed a bad guy." I haven't had much trouble with this point so far with Gluhen fanfiction, but it's rampant in most fandoms I've been in, and I figured I'd mention it ahead of time.

4. Fics submitted to the archive should include the following information:

Title
Author - preferred penname, and email address to be listed with fanfic
Rating - G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17. If your fanfic contains a lemon, it must be rated NC-17. Please use common sense in rating your fics; if your fanfiction is submitted without a rating, I will give it an appropriate rating. Additionally, if I think the rating is too low, I will increase it - but generally, I tend to trust the rating most people place on their fanfics.
Pairing(s) - Surprise pairings are acceptable. Please let me know whether you'd like the revealed pairing to be listed on under the pairing heading on the Fanfiction By Pairing page, or if you'd rather it was listed in the 'No Pairing/Pairing yet to be specified' section.
Warning(s) - Spoiler warnings, as appropriate; also, content warnings for sex, death, strong language, kink, disturbing content, or anything else that you think might warrant a warning. Please be responsible about our warnings; I'd rather you go overboard with warnings, than have someone accidentally read something they couldn't handle.
Summary - Just a one or two sentence summary about the fanfic to interest/entice the reader into reading more.
Disclaimer - If you have a disclaimer you want to go with the fic, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll slap the site's generic disclaimer on it.

URL for Author's website (if desired)
Status of fanfic - one-shot? complete? ongoing?

You can send me a link to the fanfic (preferable), or attach a Word document to your email containing it. If you would prefer your fic to just be linked off-site (rather than archived), please specify that in the email as well.

5. All submissions should be sent to kasra_c@yahoo.com.

Fanart submissions should be emailed to the same address, though please email me first if you'll be attaching a large file, just in case I'm running up against my disk quota. ^_^;









Disclaimer | This layout was created by Amet for Kasra, because Kasra was kind enough to commission the lovely Aya/Omi painting that adorns our kitchen wall and frightens our non-otaku roommate. It was made using various screen caps and promo pictures dredged up from the bowels of her girlfriend's hard drive and took a ridiculously long time, so kindly refrain from making off with it.
