Send your work, being sure that it follows the

Guidelines for submitted
work:
Please submit work by replying to the message that
was sent to you. Please be sure that it follows the
following guidelines:
ARTWORK:
Description:
Please send a word or text document, with the title,
dimension, medium, and date of each piece, as you would
like them to appear on the website. Be sure to include
the name of the file that each description is associated
with so that we know which description correspond with
which file.
For example:
File name: gargoyle.jpg
Title: Cat-like Gargoyle
Dimensions: 8" long, 4" high
Medium: Sculpey, wire, glass eyes
Date: 2003
Format: jpg, gif,
or swf.
File size:
under 100k, except for swf files
Dimensions:
Please send images that are no bigger than 400px by
400px. If you don’t know how to change this, we can
do it for you, but anything you can do yourself, makes
less work for us.
Thumbnail Images:
if possible, please also send a thumbnail of each of
your submitted pieces, with the dimension being 75px
by 75px. You can either pick a section of each piece
(see http://www.artist-ink.com/artists/n_z/lyndon/lyndon.htm
for an example), or just shrink the entire image. Once
again, if you can not do this yourself, we will do it
for you.
Copyright Info:
If you want a copyright message on each of your individual
pieces, please place them there. If you do not know
how to do this, we can help you out. Just tell us how
you would like the message to read( ie. © 2003 J.A. Smith, © 2003 John A. Smith ). We will be writing a tutorial on this,
and other ways for you to help us out shortly.
WRITING:
Description: Please
send a word or text document with the title, date and
what type of writing the piece is (ie. poem, short-story,
free-write, etc).
Format:
Pdf is the best, but Microsoft Word document or txt
is acceptable.
Please have the stories looking how you would like them
to appear on the page. We will not be doing any editing.
All stories that are not sent as pdfs will be converted
to pdfs. Please be sure to place copyright info ( ie.
©
2003 J.A. Smith, © 2003 John A. Smith ), on your writing. For writing that covers
multiple pages, we suggest inserting this information
as a header or footer.
MUSIC:
Format:
MP3
Sound Clips:
20 - 30 second sound clips.
Full-length Songs:
For full length songs, we would prefer ‘hot-linking’
to files on another website, possibly your own or another
website such as MP3.com. If you do not have any other
options open to you, we will host some songs for you,
but your space will be limited. Please do not send songs
to us; temporary ftp accounts will be set up because
our email accounts can only hold 10 mb.
