Submission Guidelines


1. Any submission must be of the author's own work. Any submission found to be, either in full or in part, the work of another person without their permission, will be rejected.

Also, any use of TSR copyrighted material must be in accordance with the online TSR policies. Anyone not familiar with these policies should look at the following web pages:

2. Submissions should fit into the official Forgotten Realms material. Also, no submission should affect an earlier submission unless both submission are made by the same author, or prior permission was received. (ie - no killing an NPC creation unless he's yours).

4. All submissions are to be sent to the submissions officer (FTsubmit@bigfoot.com), who will then send it to the appropriate Editor. The submission shall then be edited, and each change will be showed to the author for approval. Once editing is complete, all editors will have a chance to look over the submission to voice my concerns. Once those concerns are taken care of, the submission will be published in the next edition of the Netzine. All submission will follow this procedure.

5. Any submission that has been accepted into the Netzine should not be posted or published anywhere else until after the Netzine has been released for at least 30 days.
