A Lancer Writer member has set up an ipetition to help persuade the studio to release Lancer on DVD - to include both seasons 1968-1970 and all 51 episodes (including the black and white and color versions of the pilot episode). Please go and vote. It takes only seconds and is free. |
This site is a mirror of Karen Fedderley's main Lancer fanfiction site at PeterBrown.tv
Story Submission
To submit a story, email Karen at fedderly1@verizon.net
When you submit a story, we'll create an author page for you and add your subsequent titles to that page as well as to the general Lancer story titles page both at PeterBrown.tv and here at the mirror site.
Poems, cross-overs with other series, satire etc. welcome. R-rated stories also welcome but should be labeled as such - some readers will seek them out, others want to avoid them. No slash (these guys are brothers after all), and no WIPs.
At this time, we don't beta or proofread the manuscripts unless asked to do so. We might catch some obvious spelling errors, etc. while formatting or loading onto the server, but don't count on it. So let's be careful out there - your name will be on the story. Don't ask for beta reading unless you want a real critique - there are friendly Lancer writing lists noted on the Links page that you can join if you want to run a story by some readers and ask them questions about plot points, canon, etc. but aren't looking for an in depth critique.
As most of you know, fanfic can't be copyrighted because someone else owns the characters, concept and everything else Lancer. Most series (even those currently running) turn a blind eye to the copyright violation that is fanfic because fanfic enhances fan interest in the series. A copyright notice intended to protect your original content carries no legal weight whatsoever and is not necessary. Obviously you can't sue someone if they steal a story that itself is a copyright violation against the owners of the series. However, the world of fanfic seems to run pretty well on the honor system of "shadow" copyright. Your name [or other personal identifier] and date on the story can show another website owner that a duplicate story submitted to them later has been plagiarized. We will remove the stories of an author against whom an act of clear plagiarism has been proved. However, remember that even in profic, ideas and titles cannot be copyrighted.
We honor the rights of authors to control their own stories. If after submission, all the listed authors on a story want it removed, we will do so. If one of the authors of a jointly authored story wants her name removed, we can do that. If an author or authors wants to rewrite a story and resubmit it, that's fine with us.
A writer's work will not normally be removed from the site due to a conflict with another writer. It is expected that writers will settle their disputes without our intervention. In no case will we become involved in a dispute between authors or remove a story from the site at the request of anyone but the author of that work except in a proven case of plagiarism.
