write for seethru
We always welcome submissions from
visitors. In fact all our current writers started off by sending us ideas.
To avoid disappointment, please read the site carefully
and check the guidelines below before submitting an idea.
email your stuff to Soph.
Please give us a week to reply.
a few points
a) We have a pretty high quality-threshold here. Please
don't get put off if we don't accept your stuff first time. Keep trying.
Keep sending stuff.
b) Don't submit whole or full pieces of work.
By all means write the entire thing if you want, but only send us a précis
or proposal. Most of the stuff on seethru is produced collaboratively.
Several writers and an illustrator will work on the big pieces. Everything
goes through 2 or 3 rewrites. If your stuff gets accepted, one of our
dudes will works on it with you.
c) Badger us. We are busy and get a lot of
mail. If you don't get either a yes, no, or hmmm maybe reply within a
week, please chase it up.

quizzes |
|
|
We've just recently rewritten our quiz
code so we're on the look out for good quizzes. Be careful, quizzes
can overlap with Ticklists so usually have to stick tightly to a general
category, i.e. sex, geekiness, science fiction etc |
