1 Save your fic as a .txt file. If you know any HTML, you can include italics, bold, and underline tags, as well as paragraph breaks. If you don't know HTML, just send it as a text file, and use /slashes/ to indicate italics, *asterisks* to indicate bold, and _underscores_ to indicate underlining. Please leave a blank line between paragraphs for ease in reading.
2 At the top of your .txt file, include the following header with all applicable information:
Title:
Author:
Author Website: if you don't have one or don't want to make it public, just skip this
Genre: gen or slash; if your story has some het themes in it, note that here!
Team(s): if this is about a minor league team, include the affiliated major league team in parentheses after
Character(s): include all major characters in your story. this is kind of a judgement call on your part, but if a character only has two lines, I wouldn't include him
Pairing(s): if there aren't any, just type none or n/a here
Rating: see description of ratings on the front page. Include any warnings for kink or non-con here.
Disclaimer:
Summary: either a 1-2 line excerpt, or a short summary or whatever, but this is required.
3 Open your e-mail, and create a new message with the subject "Baseball Fic Archive Submission." Include the .txt file as an attachment. If you have multiple stories, you can send them all together, each story as a different .txt file. Include the header(s) for your story(s) in the body of your e-mail.
4 Send your e-mail to griffen@gmail.com .
5 I'll e-mail you to let you know I got your submission, and let you know about any problems with it. I'll e-mail you again when your stories go live. Please be patient as right now I'm doing this all by hand!
If you have any questions about e-mail submission, you can send a preliminary e-mail to us asking those questions.
Please let me know in the body of the e-mail if the story you're sending me is a sequel to another story already in the archive so I can archive them together.
