Guidelines for JABBers' Fiction

Please note this fiction archive is only for the work of JABB members.  I do not have the time nor the resources to house fiction for everyone.  However, if you are a JABB member then I'd love to provide a space for your John Dye filmography related work.  Please note, though, that I do have some restrictions.  They are as follows:

1.  While each member is entitled to their own opinions, I will not publicize or provide web space for any TBAA “shipper” fiction.  I am opposed to such stories and as onthisside.net is funded by me, I cannot in good conscience post such stories here.  Also sketchy are human/angel romance stories.  Those will be addressed by yours truly on a case by case basis.

2.  Absolutely no stories featuring real people (except historical figures) will be accepted.  That means no currently living or recently deceased actors, musicians, etc.  If you have a question about who constitutes a historical, and thus acceptable, figure; please contact me

Please note this does not mean references to actors and musicians are disallowed.  Having a character say “So I was listening to my Harry Connick Jr. CD and…” is okay.  Having Mr. Connick interact with characters in your story is not.

An exception might be if you’re writing a story that expands upon a TBAA episode that featured a real person (i.e. Celine Dion in “Psalm 151.”)  That sort of thing would need to be considered on a case by case basis.

3.  Material should not go above a PG-13 level for inclusion here. 

4.  Nothing libelous, that seeks profit, that promotes hatred of any person or group, that seeks to incite violence or other crimes, or seeks to harm any individual or group will be considered.

5.  Nothing that could be seriously construed as the promulgation of rumors about John Dye or any TBAA cast member or really anyone will be considered for inclusion.  Neither will anything that could be perceived as an invasion of privacy.

6.  Please do not ever send me anything for inclusion with some sort of deadline.  I will upload your work as I have time.  No sooner.  I will also not be happy with people pestering me to upload another author's work with in a certain space of time.

7.  Only completed stories will be added.  If your work is part of a series then I don't need the entire series all at once.  But I will not post individual stories until I have their complete versions.

8.  At this time I am unavailable to proofread or edit stories. 

9.  As stated above, onthisside.net is funded by moi.  As a result, I have to feel morally justified about everything that goes on here.  Any decision I make is final.  They are plenty of fiction submission sites, blogging sites, etc. where you can post whatever you like.  But JABB is not one of those places.  You have a right to freedom of expression but I have a right to operate my web space as I so desire.

Thank you.
