This site is always open to hosting new authors and their stories.

We do have a few simple guidelines:

1. The storyline and character development must come first.
2. While the depiction of alternative lifestyles is preferred, it is not a requirement. However, depictions of any lifestyle should be positive.
3. Stories based on love and character growth are always welcome. 
4. Stories featuring the rescue of children and others in need are always welcome.
5. The portrayal of sex is not prohibited, but should come about as a natural development of a relationship. Sex should not be the dominant storyline!
6. Stories with a dominant Adult Youth (AY) theme will not be accepted. 
7. Stories based on necrophilia, or solely based on rape and sexual violence will not be accepted either.
8. Stories that have an AY, Rape or Sexual Violence component that is necessary for a character's mental state or development of a crucial storyline will be reviewed by a panel.
9. While completed stories are preferred, all stories will be reviewed. Although authors may choose to post their own chapters the Site Owner/ Webmaster retains control over what stories may be hosted.
10. Authors have complete control over whether their stories are co-hosted on another of the Fort Family Sites.
