I'll be hosting the next Storyblogging Carnival, the seventy-eighth,
here at Back of the Envelope. If you use your blog to share your
fiction, then the Storyblogging Carnival is your opportunity. Here we
host any and all forms of storytelling in blog format. If you're
curious about what this looks like, have a look at some [1]examples of
previous storyblogging carnivals. This next carnival will be going up
September 10th.
If you'd like to participate, please e-mail your story submissions to
me at dscrank-at-alum-dot-mit-dot-edu (or post in my comments),
including the following information:
* Name of your blog
* URL of your blog
* Title of the story
* URL for the blog entry where the story is posted
* (OPTIONAL) Author's name
* (OPTIONAL) A suggested rating for adult content (G, PG, PG-13, R)
* A word count
* A short blurb describing the story
The post may be of any age, from a week old to years old. The
submission deadline is 11:59 PM Eastern time on Saturday, August 8th.
More detailed information follows (same as always):
1. The story or excerpt submitted must be posted on-line as a blog
entry, and while fiction is preferred, non-fiction storytelling is
acceptable.
2. The story can be any length, but the Carnival will list them in
order of length, from shortest to longest, and include a word
count for each one.
3. You may either send a complete story, a story in progress, or a
lengthy excerpt. You should indicate the word count for both the
excerpt and the complete story in the submission, and you should
say how the reader can find more of the story in the post itself.
4. If the story spans multiple posts, each post should contain a link
to the beginning of the story, and a link to the next post. You
may submit the whole story, the first post, or, if you've
previously submitted earlier posts to the Carnival, the next post
which you have not submitted. Please indicate the length of the
entire story, as well as the portion which you are submitting.
5. The host has sole discretion to decide whether the story will be
included or not, or whether to indicate that the story has
pornographic or graphically violent content. The ratings for the
story will be decided by the host. I expect I'll be pretty lenient
on that sort of thing, but I have some limits, and others may draw
the line elsewhere. Aside from noting potentially offensive
content, while I may say nice things about stories I like, I won't
be panning anyone's work. I expect other hosts to be similarly
polite.
6. The story may be the blogger's own or posted with permission, but
if it is not his own work he should gain permission from the
author before submitting to the Carnival.
If you'd like to be added to the e-mail list, please [2]let me know.
Finally, I appreciate folks promoting the carnival on their own blogs,
and I'm always looking for bloggers willing to host future carnivals.
