"My name is Inigo Montoya.."


Okay, so not really. Anyway, if you want to know a little bit about me, then, well, here you go. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I kind of like knowing about the author of whatever the hell I'm reading. So, here goes nothing.

Name: I go by the pseudonym 'Clara'. It's not because I'm afraid of anyone finding out where I live or being stalked or anything like that, it's actually just because I started out with the pseudonym Clara a couple years ago, and I'm sticking with it. Anyway, you don't need to know my real name. After all, it's not like you're going to find anything posted under it, and there's thousands of people out there with the same name.
Age: 18
Location: California

..actually, I can't think of anything else anyone would possibly want to know about me. I'm just your normal teenage girl who likes writing when she has spare time (and who also wants to get some things published), who loves to draw (and sucks at it), and likes doing everything else any other teenager would do, like partying and snowboarding and hanging out with friends. I do like anime, actually, a lot, but I can live without it. I'm not about to spend MY money on it. I'll use everyone elses. :D I'm single, but, you know, I'm not looking. Sorry to disappoint the masses (*scoff*).

But enough about me. Time for the guidelines!

Guidelines
Fanfics
I'm rather strict on a couple things about fanfics. Why? I believe in excellent grammar and spelling.

1. I have a format I want you people to complete when sending in fics. It's simple. You can do it.
Name:
E-mail: (the one you want to show up on my page)
Title: (of your fic)
Ongoing or not:
Series: (you know, like what anime or something)


If the rating is higher than PG-13, please include that in your fic. Lemons are accepted, as long as they're tasteful.
Summary: (can be brief)

2. I have every right to turn down a fic I don't like. If your grammar is bad, and your spelling is bad, if you're plagiarizing, and if I don't know what the hell you're trying to write (say if I haven't seen the series or read the book) then I won't accept it. Also, there are some authors out there who don't want to have fanfics written about their series. Because I don't want to get in trouble, please don't be surprised when I don't put your fic up if you wrote a fanfic about their series.

3. I don't like script format. However, if you write an excellent story that is in script format, then I'll probably put it up. Just make sure to include in the e-mail you send me that it's script format.

4. Please.. please please PLEASE send me your story in .html format. I don't even have enough time to HTML my own stuff, so what makes you think I have enough time to HTML yours? I don't have Microsoft Word to do that for me. I will add in some stuff to change the scrollbar in order for it to match the rest of the format of my page, but I don't want to have to do all the basics.

5. This IS an Inuyasha centric page, but I do accept fics from other series (so long as I know what the series IS). And I accept yaoi/shounen-ai/yuri/shoujo-ai. This means boy/boy and girl/girl love. Have an open mind, people.

6. MSTs (when you insert comments in other people's fics) are welcome, so long as the author knows your MSTing them and lets you. Go to SVAM if you want a couple of good examples.

Art
I love art. I love art a lot. I love it so much I like to pretend like I'm an artist myself. Anyway, any and all art is acceptable to the site (except hardcore porn art. That's not tasteful. Be tasteful, people!). I only have a couple of rules for this one.

1. Like fanfics, please send me your artwork in this ridiculously simple format:
Name:
E-mail: (the one you want to show up on my page)
Title: (if any)
Series: (what series the character's from)
Character: (hey, if I haven't seen the series, I need to know what character it is o.o;)


2. Send it to me in .jpg or .gif format. I'm deleting it if it's in .bmp (bitmap, aka, paint) format. That takes up WAY too much space on my computer and e-mail box.

Annnnd that's all, folks! ..except you might want me e-mail. Eh-heh. Anyway, send everything here Oh, and originals for everything are welcome! You know, like, for pictures.. original characters and whatnot.. ah heh. x.x;.
