| Submission Guidelines or How to Submit (see also Stuff We Need Now) |
Do you have Discordian and/or Ek-sen-trik material that we really need to see?
Then send it to us! In accordance with tradition, there are five requirements for
submitting to Xtra Stuff (which also apply if you're submitting artwork or one-liners for
Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht. If it's for EDTToS, definitely read
Stuff We Need Now).
1) We want stuff that’s either copyright-free, or that you or the work’s creator give us
permission to use (for our own protection, we want proof, don’t ya know). Discordian
and Ek-sen-trik philosophy, photos, essays, animation, greeting cards, collages,
articles, poetry, drawings, paintings, graphics, cartoons, quotes, silliness, etc. There’
s no pay, but you can show your work proudly to your friends, neighbors and parole
officer.
2) If possible, please edit your written material, or have a friend do it for you--it's
more likely we’ll take it! But we might be able to help you with that, and will ask your
permission if we do major edits (our call as to what is major, us being egotists about
our own talents). But we can also use ideas for cool stuff that we might put out there
for somebody else to be inspired by.
3) What exactly do we want? Heck if we know! Check our site or Principia Discordia
or Apocrypha Discordia or other cool sites for ideas. (Or see Stuff We Need Now.) It
doesn’t have to be exactly Discordian or Ek-sen-trik, but should be pretty close--or at
least a lot of fun!
4) If you’ve written a cool novel you want on our site or a series of 537 paintings, that
might be a bit much. While our email storage is big, our minds can only hold so much
at a time! You might want to send us some samples first (generally no more than 5
images, or 2 or 3 short written pieces--maybe 5 if they're really short.)
5) Remember we can’t use everything. Your work might be great, but even
Reverend Loveshade wrote stuff that probably won’t end up on the site (but don’t tell
the Rev. that!) If you have something we can’t use, you can always post it on your
own site! And we might even consider your work for Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The
Tales of Shamlicht! (Although the writing of that work is essentially completed, we
still need photos/artwork).
You should get a response from us in a few days saying we've received your
submission, and hear a final decision from us in two to three months. If you don't get
an initial response from us in a week, or don't hear our final decision in three months,
feel free to send us a polite inquiry to ed_submit at loveshade.org (you know, change
the " at " to "@" just like it would be in any email address--it's that way to reduce
spam)
So get those creative juices flowing, consult your pineal gland, and send us your
ideas, questions, and stuff to ed_submit at loveshade.org (remember, change the "
at " to "@"). Please put something Discordian in the heading of your email that lets
us know it's a submission for Xtra Stuff or (art or one line bits only) for EDTToS--
starting the heading with “XS” or "ED" would be fine. If you don't, we may think it's
spam and delete it. Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

| If you didn't hear from us, maybe it's because you didn't put something obviously Discordian in your heading so it will be read and not deleted unread. Examples: XS You Have To See This -- READ You Have to See This -- DELETE Discord Enlarge Your Penis -- READ Enlarge Your Penis -- DELETE Eris My Nude Pics -- READ My Nude Pics -- READ (OK, sometimes we make exceptions--but don't count on it!) |
| Do you have something you'd like to appear in one of our Snooze Letters? We mostly publish announcements of Discordian projects and events, and a bit of personal stuff about Discordians we know. See our Snooze Letters for examples. If you do want to submit something for an S.L., remember to tell us who, what, where, when, why and how. (Who's doing it and who's it for; what is it; where was it or will it be; when did it happen or will happen; why is it happening; and how is it happening.) Understand if we accept your announcement it may be edited. But it will be sent to a few hundred people, and could been seen by any of the thousands who visit our website each month. |
