We would be happy to consider your story for posting on
Petticoat Pond.
We like to evaluate the author's own parameters before considering
publishing so, by sending a sample,
you will give us some insight
into your methodology, as well as indicate to us how much time we
must spend proofreading/correcting.
As you might know, we prefer to serialize - it keeps the reader
coming back to the site. However, we have had bad experiences
with chapter-by-chapter submission, so, with exception,
we ask
that the entire
story be submitted as a whole. Sometimes the first chapter is
really not representative of a entire story, and that provides
for an awkward situation for us as we begin serializing.
A story which is fiction based on fact is 'faction' and should
be labeled as such.
Whether a story is 'blue' (sexually oriented) or not is purely subjective on our
part. Suggestive language or situations do not automatically
make it 'blue', but graphic sex certainly will.
Authors here usually DO use pen names or pseudonyms, but we
leave it up to the author. Some merely use their first name.
Stories can be submitted in MS Word or plain text.
