1. House Rules still in effect.

If your entry breaks the House Rules,
then it doesn't matter how much we like it, they won't let us pass it
around here. Don't expect to publish Lady Chatterly's Lover in
serial form in the Underguide, even if you are DH Lawrence. And if you
aren't, that brings us to the next point...

2. No plagiarism.

There's nothing "alternative" or "cutting edge" about stealing other
peoples' work.

3. The Underguide does not overlap with the Edited Guide.

If your entry might fit the guidelines for the
Edited Guide, please submit it to Peer
Review first. They do a fine job with their territory, and we don't
intend to compete.

That's all!

Anything else you can squeeze through those three rules*,
lay it on us. If you're looking for tone, style, format, standards,
it's pretty much all subjective. We want good stuff, but we can't always define what makes it good. We know it when we see it. As with all editorial groups, you can get a better idea of what we like by reading some entries that we admire {link to agcBen's excellent list of examples} or entries we've accepted in the past {link here to UG archives}.

Stylistic Guidelines

We might develop some later. Meanwhile, if you're wondering what we're looking for, read some examples of entries we've promoted in the past like [insert link here]. Or browse through our [insert Archives link].
