*<BIG><BIG>'''Deadline For Entries Is December 16th!!'''</BIG></BIG>
*Entries should be themed: '''Games'''
*Use this page as an index of other pages.
**For example, if Sente were to write a piece on his family, he might format it like so:
'''[[Tales From Earth:Kiteway Crazies]] - [[User:Sente]]  28-NOV-05, 5000 words'''
A short treatise on my lunatic daughters, both of whom cavort with strangers.


*'''Entries should be themed: Games'''
**Let me re-emphasize: '''Entries should be themed: Games'''
**Any game will do, and I believe if a submission is strong enough we can probably look the other way if it doesn't have much to do with any literal games.
*We do not have a given length minimum or maximum on individual entries.
*Entries may be poetry, prose, or most anything else.
*[[Seaside Press]] have said they will allow some illustrations.
**However this is not an art book, bear in mind.  Think black-and-white.


==Instructions==


Use this page as an index of other pages.


Please format your page titles thusly:
*'''Also note: Authors should collect their blurbs here:'''
**'''[[Tales From Earth:Authors]]'''


'''Tales From Earth:Title'''
Add a link on this page your own work, like this:
'''[[Tales From Earth:Title]] - [[User:YourName]]  date, length'''
Add a short description of the work here.
So for example, if Sente were to write a piece on his family, he might format it like so:
'''[[Tales From Earth:Kiteway Crazies]] - [[User:Sente]]  28-NOV-05, 5000 words'''
A short treatise on my lunatic daughters, both of whom cavort with strangers.
Also note, people may choose to post articles on some other site (such as a blog) and link to it from here.
