So you wanna submit a rant ("rant’ also encompasses essays, I’m just too lazy to type both words out), eh? Well, there’re rules and a procedure. Here we go.
Submission Rules:
1) Absolutely NO PLAGIARISM! If we, the webmistresses of 3D, catch or hear of anyone taking existing rants and claiming them as their own, they will be removed from the 3D archives and their names and e-mails will be posted, along with warnings that they’re known plagiarists.
2) NO CHARACTER BASHING! If you don’t like a character and can’t be nice to them in your rant, then don’t write them. Do not submit any rant where there is veiled or outright bashing of any characters. The rant should concentrate solely on Trowa, Dorothy or their relationship, anyway. We’ll even take anti-rants, as long as they’re nice.
7) NO FLAMING! Whether it be another author or a 3D webmistress, flames will not be tolerated. 3D asks that if you get flamed by an author archived here because of your rant that you please forward us a copy of the original flame. Please do not reply to flamers. Let us handle that. That’s why we’re bitches; to deal with flamers. ^.^ Flamers found guilty will be removed from the archives and warned against.
Submission Procedure:
