Every few months, we have the privilege of adding new authors to our growing site. Because of this, I feel the necessity to remind everyone that although the story remains the author’s, you have to comply with our rules to post your story on SIYE.
Having a archive of quality stories is always one of our main concerns at SIYE, which is why we have a staff to read over your submission to catch as many problems as possible before posting your story to the site. However, it is not the Archivist’s job to correct your spelling errors. It should be as close to perfect as possible before you submit it. If your story contains ANY canon spelling errors or more than 3-5 general spelling errors, they are to send your story back and remove it from the validation queue.
You will always receive an email detailing what you need to correct before the story may post on the site. This does not mean that you should resubmit the story ‘AS IS’ in the hope that someone else will validate it. The Staff does discuss the submission’s validity prior to asking for a rewrite, so before you resubmit, please make the corrections asked for. In the long-run, it will save you time and trouble.
The next potential snag is the use of links to blogs, web-pages and other sites in your author’s notes or embedded within your story . Although we have not updated the Rules page, we have discussed this before in this same forum. The last time was 8-14-2006, and you can page forward to see the original if the need arises. Because SIYE has no control over where these links might take an unsuspecting reader, the only place we authorize them is on your bio-page. We do not allow them within your stories. Therefore, without notification, SIYE staff will remove links embedded in your title, summary and author’s notes or within the story.
As always, we are happy to post your stories and will gladly help any author or reader that asks for assistance. You can reach me at the following email addresses.
