SUBMIT WORK

If you've written a story or made some art that you want to share with other fans, we would love to hear from you. We are currently accepting work of all ratings and about all of Joaquin's characters, although for the foreseeable future we will not be hosting Real Person Fiction, i.e. fiction involving Joaquin as himself. Please read the instructions for submission carefully, and get creating!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Please send work as an email attachment to submissions[at]joaquin-phoenix[dot]net. Artwork can be sent in .jpg or .gif format; fiction needs to be a Microsoft Word or plain text file. In both cases, it is imperative that you give your email a clear subject. Due to virus risk, I do not open emails with attachments unless I know what they are, so unless your email explains itself in the subject line, I will never see your creations. Please don't forget.

Art. Please include in your email your name, contact email address, and title of your work, if it has one. In addition, if you think your image is unsuitable for younger viewers, please give it an appropriate rating.

Fiction. Please include headers for your story, such as the ones below. Any fields in blue must be included in your headers. Those in black are optional, but can be helpful for enticing your readers or letting them know what's going on.

Your name and contact email.
TITLE:
The title of your story.
STATUS:
Is your story complete or are there more parts coming? eg. Part 3/? Incomplete.

Ratings: As you can see above, we trust our authors and artists to rate their own work. It is imperative that you do this accurately, since we want to give fair warning if your work is unsuitable for minors or for those upset by explicit depictions of violence or sex. This site uses the US movie rating system. For those unfamiliar with these ratings, they are:

G: Suitable for all and possibly particularly suited to young readers. British equivalent: U.

PG: Parental guidance advised. Possible mild swear words and/or allusions to violence. British equivalent: PG.

PG-13: Unsuitable for children under the age of 13. May contain tempered violence, occasional swear words and allusions to sexual situations. British equivalent: 12.

PG-15: Unsuitable for those under the age of 15. Contains dark or disturbing themes, fairly violent scenes, descriptive references to sex and/or strong swear words. British equivalent: 15.

R: Contains fairly graphic descriptions of violence, strong references to or straightforward descriptions of sexual acts and/or themes of a very dark or disturbing nature. Unsuitable for those under 15; readers under 18 must use their own discretion as to whether the material is suitable for them.

NC-17: Containing adult storylines and graphic descriptions of sex and/or strong violence. May also contain frequent and/or sexual swear words. Unsuitable for anyone under the age of 18. British equivalent: 18.

We look forward to receiving your work!
