    • 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 as said they will allow some illustrations.

Instructions

Use this page as an index of other pages.

Please format your page titles thusly:

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.
