Submission Guidelines

If you have a story or challenge that features Captain Hank Stanley and/or Chief McConnike, and their families, and would like to submit it to this site, please send it to both CapStanley77@aol.com and hjc_cas@mindspring.com (Heather and Betty are co-owners of this site) with the word "Burning Hat Sub" in the subject line.

Please REMEMBER to contact authors for permission if you want to use the characters that are not public domain names. Please BE SURE to check the characters in the E! Writer's Headquarter Character Reference site. If we notice that you have used a character which belongs to someone, we will return your story. You would have to contact the author for permission to use this character, or you would have to change the name of character.

Please proofread your stories BEFORE sending them to us. Any stories with excessive errors will be returned to the author for corrections because we do not have time to correct the mistakes! We recommend that you have a beta reader or/and proofreader look over your work before you submit it.  If you need beta reader(s), please send an email to us so we will help you find beta reader. If you need medical help or other stuff, you will find Mary Morris's helpful EFIC mailing list.

Please remember that this site is a webZINE, and your stories will be edited. If you do not want your stories edited, DO NOT submit them here!

No anonymous submissions will be accepted. If you wish to use your pen name, it will be fine, but we want to know who you are!

All submissions should be sent in the form of email attachments or pasted into the body of the email. If you use attachments, please use RTF or Rich Text Format.

We have five strict rules. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A FAMILY SITE!

1. NO PLAGIARISM ~ If you have plagiarized a story, you will be banned from this site and from other Emergency! Fanfiction sites.

2. NO SLASH ~ A "slash" story is one in which the two characters in a relationship are the same sex. Please remember this is a family site.

3. NO X-RATED ~ This site is rated "G" to "PG-13".

4. NO MARY SUE stories ~ We do not want to have "plotless" stories that revolve around a "Mary Sue"-type character! Go to visit The Mary Sue Hextum site.

5. NO REWRITING OF EMERGENCY! EPOSIDES ~ We do not accept that.
