Story Submission Guidelines: How to Share Your Fiction


Story Submission Guidelines

We welcome all original fiction!

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting, we’re excited to showcase your work. Please read through the following guidelines to ensure your submission meets our requirements.


Fiction Submission Guidelines

  • Length: There’s no word count limit. Your story can be as long or short as needed.
  • Previous Publications: If your story has been published elsewhere or is on your own website, that’s perfectly fine, as long as you’re the original writer.
  • Include Your Website: If you have a personal website or blog, feel free to include the link in your submission. We encourage sharing links, especially if you have more stories available on your site.
  • Original Work: Please submit your own original fiction. We do not accept works written by others.
  • Genres: We specialize in sci-fi, strange stories, and humor. While we don’t feature poetry or drama, we’re happy to explore creative content within these genres.
  • No Musicals: This is a fiction site, so we’re not currently accepting musical works.
  • Content Restrictions: We do not accept hate speech, explicit content, or graphic images. Satirical or critical content is fine, but we reserve the right to draw the line.
  • Images: Please refrain from submitting explicit images with your story—these will not be posted.
  • Rights: You retain full rights to your writing. We do not claim any rights to your work, and you are free to publish it elsewhere.
  • Contact Info: You do not need to provide an email to submit. However, if a third party (like a publisher or producer) expresses interest in your work, we will not be able to contact you without an email address. Your email will never be shared publicly unless you request it.
  • Pen Names: You may submit your work under a pen name, but false contact information (like fake emails) may result in missed opportunities.

Comics & Memes Submission Guidelines

  • No Explicit Images: We do not accept explicit or graphic content.
  • Respectful Content: Submissions should not be offensive or inappropriate regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, or political views. This includes hate speech or images that are intended to harm or insult others (e.g., photos with heads cut off).

Terms of Service

  • By submitting, you confirm that you are 13 years or older and agree to the terms listed.
  • Fiction/Columns/Blogs: You confirm that the work is original and that you retain full publication rights.
  • Memes/Comics: If you submit content that’s not your own, please include the source and we’ll credit it accordingly.

Disclaimer

We’re not in the censoring business, but please note that we cannot guarantee that all submissions will be published. We may not publish content that doesn’t meet our standards or fits with the themes of the site.

If you have any questions about the submission process, please feel free to leave a comment below. You can also subscribe without commenting to get notified when your question is answered. Alternatively, you can send an email with any questions.

Webmaster and editor of TheWeirdcrap.com. I obtained a bachelor's degree in micro-biology around the turn of the century but was quickly tracked down and forced to return it to its rightful owner and pay a $25 fine. *** A fan of science fiction, I started this website in 1999 as a portal for science fiction stories that have never been published. *** Completely devoid of talent, I decided to call on the public to supply content. Shortly afterwards Stephen and I started writing weekly columns and have continued to this day.
