Got something you'd like to send us?
Stop lying around and do it!!!
We receive all art and writing submissions via e-mail. Please
send all submissions to reggies_ghost@hotmail.com (The
Renegade Lord).
When you send us a submission, please indicate that it's a
submission in the email's title: something like Wraith Project
Submission would be super.
If you're going to be sending something larger than 200K,
you might want to consider sending it as a ZIP file. This makes
things easier for our mailbox, not to mention downloading.
Written submissions should be sent as plain text in the body
of an email. You can also send it as .txt or .rtf files.
Do not send things as Docs unless their having been done up
as a doc. file is integral to the presentation of the submission.
You can also send written submissions to us as a .pdf file,
but please make sure they're legible at 100%
Art can be sent in any format (jpg, gif, pdf, etc.), but the
more user-accessible you make it, the better. If we can't open
it, we can't use it.
Writing:
We want articles for Wraith: the Oblivion, Wraith: the
Great War, Orpheus and Exalted: the Abyssals. We want
it all, we want it now.
We want rules additions and changes. We want fiction. We want
settings and characters. We want one-shot submissions, and we
want pieces of a larger work that will be featured on the site.
We want Netbooks you wrote, or are in the process of writing,
and we want you to help out in our Open Projects
You got it? We want it. Send it in.
Note that we cater to an English-speaking audience, and prefer
to have our articles in English (British or American spelling).
We can make exceptions, though.
Also note that we prefer to be offered things that haven't
previously appeared on other WOD websites (except for your own,
private ones, of course)
And also note that we have to adhere to White Wolf's fair
use laws. Please don't send us anything they might have to ask
us to remove.
If we want revisions to material, we'll notify the author.
We prefer to have the author write all revisions himself, but
in cases where the article needs what we call a "grammar
scrub" - due to bad spelling or grammar mistakes - we'll
most likely fix it ourselves.
In truth, almost anything sent in will be accepted as long
as it's on-topic or at least tangential to the four games listed
above. The only lines we'd care to draw are ones of (1) good
taste and (2) hateful matter.
What do we mean by good taste? When it comes to disgusting
and degrading situations or the like, we're willing to run things
so long as they don't "go too far". Things that are
a bit on the nasty side will be noted as "Shadow
Eaten," so as to not unduly surprise some of our
users with weak stomachs or moral objections. However, shock
for its own sake gets really tedious and offensive after a while,
and we'd rather leave such tawdry matter behind.
What do we mean by hateful matter? Obviously, we mean bigotry
and prejudice, but we've featured articles that use slurs in
context, or in which racism is one of the major themes. We draw
the line at the point where we think that instead of portraying
prejudice as a real-life issue in a manner conducive to confronting
it, it's being presented for needless shock value, or because
you are prejudiced, yourself.
In either case, don't let the caveats strangle your vision.
We can't really provide a list of "don't"s because
we can't tell if something's too much or too far unless we've
seen it. Just send it in and let the oboli fall where they may.
Art:
As with the written submissions, almost anything will be accepted
as long as it's on-topic or at least tangential to Wraith: the
Oblivion. But there is a line to be drawn when it comes to (1)
good taste and (2) sexual materials.
Good taste? See above for helpful hints, and keep in mind
that with art, we have to be a little more careful than we might
be with the written word.
Sexual Materials? Nudity is a cornerstone of artistic endeavor,
of course, but pornographic materials are the sort of thing that
cause problems for servers. Where does nudity become pornography?
As usual, we'd have to see it to tell you.
