====== The World of Mañana : Submission Guidelines for the World of Mañana ====== **Under Construction - Subject to Change** So, you too want to join in the bold march into the glorious [[shared_worlds: manana|World of Mañana]] (when you get around to it). Great! By all means, join in, for this world was expressly made to be a collaborative, shared world designed for the mutual fostering of creativity and fun. Just play by the rules. Please read the following rules and copywrite information before submitting: ===== The Rules ===== We're pretty lax and open here in Mañana. No ropes on this beach and drinks are free. But we do demand an atmosphere of respect and courtesy; no solicitations or panhandling, and respect the privacy, courtesy, and rights of others. If you need to make a scene, be sure to clue us in on it 'cause we might want to join in! In more direct language this means a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA liscense ([[shared_worlds: manana: submission_guidlines#The Creative Commons Copywrite|see below]]), no charges or fees (but no charges or fees on your part either, see CC), no using this space for advertizing, spam, or political/religious solicitations, respect the rights and privacy of contributors, no flame wars or edit wars, and remember that //this site is a place of fun and sharing, so please don't be a troll or buzzkill//. Also there is __no place for HATE here__: no racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemetic, anti-muslim (etc.) tracts nor anything that glorifies or advances agendas of hate, segregation, or genocide. Note that we understand and allow the //in character// portrayal of rascism/hate/etc. when such is an integral part of the story or an integral part of the character's //human frailties//, so a rascist character using a slur is acceptable so long as it is not obviously meant to glorify or justify that character's ignorant attitude. Intollerance will not be tollerated here :-P . __Adult themes__ (sex, drugs, violence) are permitted, though please do the potential reader/viewer the courtesy of marking the links to you contribution as appropriate with disclaimers such as "Warning: Adult Content", "NSFW", "Graphic Violence", etc. For a short hand you could just use the US movie designations (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) or another universal-enough cue that your story ain't exactly fit for Romper Room. \\ ===== The Creative Commons Copywrite ===== Be advised, in keeping with the Creative Commons copywrite of the host site, the Alternate history wiki, all works posted here are liscensed under a [[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/|Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share alike 3.0]] liscense.

First, while there's nothing actually stopping you from just linking/posting, we do ask that you run your work by one of us "Mañaderators" first for editing, quality/continuity assurance, and beneficial suggestions. We promise to be nice (and constructive). Note we reserve the right to reject, edit, or delete any contributions that fail to play by [[shared_worlds: manana: submission_guidlines#The Rules]], respect the (very generous) [[shared_worlds: manana: submission_guidlines#The Creative Commons Copywrite|Copywrite]], that blatantly contradict established canon or continuity, or that are so poorly edited/spelled that it'd be an act of mercy to save the contributor from his/her own embarassment. Anything so removed, unless truly abhorrent shit like racism, will be replaced by a link to contact a Mañaderator to find out how you can improve your contribution. **//By Submitting your work you tacitly acknowledge your willing adherence to [[shared_worlds: manana: submission_guidlines#The Rules]] and [[shared_worlds: manana: submission_guidlines#The Creative Commons Copywrite]] and the rules of this wiki//** \\ === Contacting a Mañaderator === There is currently one main Mañaderator: [[offtopic: geekhis_khan|Geekhis Khan]]. The Great Khan can be reached currently via Private message (PM) on the www.alternatehistory.com message board by that name. I know, a bit of a pain in the ass for non members...he'll find other contact methods later. ---- ==== Navigation ==== **[[manana|The World of Mañana]]**
