SUBMIT YOUR SHORTS!
FOR A SHORT INSPECTION...
THE GOAL IS TO HAVE YOU SUBMITTING YOUR SHORT STORIES TO COMIXFARM. THEN WE'LL BE
ABLE TO HAVE CONTESTS WHERE YOU'LL WIN REALLY BIG PRIZES LIKE COFFEE MUGS, AND MAYBE
EVEN CONSOLATION PRIZES LIKE MY TOE-NAIL CLIPPINGS. HEY, DON'T BE CRITICAL... IF
I'M EVER RICH AND FAMOUS MY TOE-NAIL CLIPPINGS MAY BE WORTH MORE THAN THE COFFEE
MUG. IN FACT THEY MAY ALREADY FETCH A BUCK OR TWO ON EBAY. ANYWAY, HERE'S THE DEAL...
SINCE WE'RE A YOUNG WEBSITE AND NOBODY LIKES US YET WE'RE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET
IN WITH THE 'IN CROWD'. TRANSLATION: I CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE AWAY MY PRECIOUS TOE-NAILS
UNLESS THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE MAKING SUBMISSIONS TO MAKE HAVING CONTESTS WORK.
SO WE ARE ACCEPTING SHORT-STORY AND COMIX SUBMISSIONS, BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY OFFICIAL
CONTESTS UNTIL THERE ARE ENOUGH SUBMISSIONS THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY PEOPLE WHO ARE
COMPETING AGAINST EACH OTHER AND NOT JUST MY PET RAT SUBMITTING HIS NIBBLED PENCIL
AND CALLING IT ART (HE'S KIND OF A WEIRDO).
THE WAY THE CONTESTS WILL WORK IS THAT AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR STUFF AND I PUT IT
UP ON THE SITE, YOU THEN HAVE TO COERCE AS MANY POOR FOOLS AS YOU CAN TO VISIT OUR
SITE AND VOTE ON YOUR WORK. THE PERSON WITH THE BIGGEST POOR FOOL FOLLOWING WINS.
BY SUBMITTING YOUR SHORT-STORY OR COMIX TO ME, YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE. SORRY, BUT IT'S FOR LEGAL PURPOSES,
AND I, CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION, AM A LAW-ABIDING KIND OF GUY.
2. YOU SWEAR TO ME ON ALL THAT IS HOLY AND LEGALLY BINDING THAT YOU DIDN'T STEAL
YOUR SUBMISSION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM ANYONE ELSE. IT IS YOUR WORK AND YOURS
ALONE. OTHERWISE I WON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE COULD BE A
LEGAL DISPUTE. AND NO ONE WANTS A LEGAL DISPUTE BECAUSE THE LAWYERS ALREADY MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY AS IT IS.
3. ALL SUBMISSIONS BECOME MY PROPERTY. THIS IS ALSO FOR LEGAL PURPOSES. IF YOU LET
ME PUBLISH SOMETHING THAT YOU CREATED AND THEN YOU SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE, I COULD
BECOME FODDER FOR THEIR LAWYERS FOR HAVING IT ON MY SITE. IF WE USE IT, AND THEN
YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL IT, LET ME KNOW. I MAY BE PERSUADED TO GIVE IT BACK
IF YOU ASK REALLY, REALLY NICE.
4. LAST AND LEAST, YOU AGREE TO SEND YOUR WORK TO ME VIA EMAIL SINCE I AM FAR TOO
INCONSIDERATE TO INCORPORATE A CONVENIENT SUBMISSION FORM INTO MY SITE. SORRY. I'LL
ADD ONE LATER, MAYBE. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT RIGHT NOW.
