If you submit a story, we'll create an author page at that time and add your subsequent titles to that page as well as to the general Lancer story titles page.  Poems, cross-overs with other series, satire etc. welcome.  Death fic, alternate universe and R-rated stories also welcome but should be labeled as such - some readers will seek them out, others want to avoid them.  No slash (these guys are brothers after all).

At this time, we don't beta or proofread the manuscripts unless asked to do so.  We might catch some obvious spelling errors, etc. while formatting or loading onto the server but don't count on it.  [So let's be careful out there - your name will be on the story.]  Don't ask for beta reading unless you  want a real critique -  there are two friendly Lancer writing lists noted  on the home page you can join if you want to run a story by some readers and ask them questions about plot points, canon, etc.  but aren't looking for an in depth critique.

As most of you know, fanfic can't be copyrighted because someone else owns the characters, concept and everything else Lancer.  Most series (even those currently running) turn a blind eye to the copyright violation that is fanfic because fanfic enhances fan interest in the series.  A copyright notice intended to protect your original content  carries no legal weight whatsoever and is not necessary.  Obviously you can't sue  someone if they steal a story that itself is a copyright violation against the owners of the series.  However, the world of fanfic seems to run pretty well on the honor system of "shadow" copyright.  Your name [or other personal identifier] and date on the story  can show another website owner that a duplicate story submitted to them later has been plagiarized.  We honor the rights of authors to control their own stories.  If after submission, you want one removed or you want to rewrite it and resubmit, that's fine with us.
