| Thread of the Week-Plots |
You can’t have a story without a plot. It all starts with a fluffy little creature known as a plot bunny. Like their cousins the dust bunnies, they lurk in corners just ready to jump out and make you wonder where they came from. Sometimes, though, it’s difficult to feed these bunnies and make them grow. Look no further, for we have provided the basics. You can find it all in our Writing Workshop artical, Plots. Come and learn, discuss and grow. Remember, you have to be a member of SF3 to post discussions, but don’t let that stop you from looking. |

| Apply to become a Validated Author |
As mentioned in the April SFF Newsletter and the SFF New Categories thread on SF3, this summer we are changing the submission rules for SFF. Part of this change will involve splitting stories between "General" and "Validated" authors. The standards for General fictions will be very low--must be readable English of a certain minimum length and not contain content we don't allow--while the standards for Validated fictions will be much higher.
Achieving Validated status is a very high honor--it shows that you not only have creative ideas, but that you also are adept at developing your plot and have a firm grasp on writing mechanics. And you don't have to wait for a moderator to approve your story--you get to skip the queue and have your fic immediately posted to the public.
To be able to submit to the Validated category, you must APPLY. Please note that even currently validated authors must apply in order to remain validated after the upgrade. Current validations will expire on June 1st, BEFORE we upgrade
To determine whether you may achieve validated status, the moderating staff will consider all of your stories currently posted on the site. Members with a strike on either SFF or SF3 may NOT apply to be validated until all strikes expire (you may contact Lindsey if you don't know how many strikes you have).
To qualify for validation, you must meet one of the following:
A) One story, twenty chapters or longer, that has been updated within the past three months
B) One story, ten chapters or longer, updated in the last three months AND one story, ten chapters or longer, updated in the last year
C) One story, ten chapters or longer, updated in the last three months AND five stories, two of which have been updated in the last year
D) One story, ten chapters or longer, updated in the last three months AND five poems, three of which updated within the last year
E) One story, ten chapters or longer, updated in the last three months AND one script, ten chapters or longer, updated within the past year
The ENTIRE submission (not just the required number of chapters) must conform to the criteria listed on theNew Writing Workshops forum on SF3--we are looking for consistency. We will also consider other stories you have posted, but they will not weight as heavily into our decision.
To apply, you must submit the following form to Lindsey at shurtugalfanfiction (at) gmail (dot) com:
SFF Penname:
SF3 Penname (if different):
E-mail address:
A list of your fictions submitted for consideration (see A - E above), with the following information:
Title, format (story/poem/script), number of chapters
Beta reader(s) used for the above stories (this will not count against you, we just want to know who they are):
By submitting this form, you agree to the following:
1. You intend to continue writing stories on SFF in the near future. Please don't waste our time with an application if you've given up on writing or Inheritance.
2. Once you are validated, any stories you submit to the Validated Category will continue to meet the guidelines posted in the New Writer’s Workshop forum (Note: you may continue to submit any stories that would not qualify for validated status to the General category. Also, you may only move existing stories that meet the validated requirements to the validated category).
3. You will continue to do your best to contribute to SFF/SF3 in an appropriate manner by reading/reviewing other stories and refraining from posting inflammatory material (i.e. flame reviews or posts). This is not required, but validated authors who commit serious infractions will lose their validated status.
If you are not accepted as a validated author this time, we will tell you what about your stories needs to be fixed in order for you to qualify the next time we have applications--you may apply repeatedly. If, however, you are accepted as a validated author but lose that status due to a breach of this agreement, you may NOT reapply.
Signed: (type your penname here)
We will accept applications from April 20 through May 20th. All applicants will be contacted by May 31st as to whether they have been accepted as validated authors or not. |
