Erotic Story & Poetry Submission Guidelines

AfterDark Online welcomes authors to submit their erotica to us. However, we would like to offer some guidance for submission. Please note that all works created are copyrighted to the author. AfterDark Online will not forward materials to members of a third party who wish to use the material for their publications, unless we have permission of the author.

While AfterDark Online does provide a wide variety of genre for story submissions, it's purpose is to publish well-written erotic stories, not pornography. Although, we allow sex acts to be written descriptively, and it's fine to have physical description of their bodies to be published; however, pornography does not include a story plots, and well-developed characters that are understood and motivated by their actions, with sex scenes that moves along with the story.

AfterDark Online reserves the right to reject publications that contains:

- pedophilia (all characters must be 18 years of age)

- bestiality

- defecation

- incest

- rape or scenes that includes indirect forcible sex

You will be notified should your story be rejected.

AfterDark Online requires story submissions to be a minimum of 500 words. There is no maximum limit of pages at this time, but we advise you create a series should your story submission becomes very long. Poetry submission are not required to this rule.

Please add a synopsis of your publication for review. If it is a series please let us know.

AfterDark Online proof reads for grammatical mistakes and most importantly the kind of erotica submitted, to ensure the kind of themes that are sent are acceptable. We will not change the content of the story if there are too many grammatical errors. We will return the story to the author for amendment.

Additional Note: In effort to help promote the work of the author, AfterDark Online will allow story submissions that were previously ebooks, so as long as the stories are not under obligation of the publisher. However, AfterDark Online will not allow excerpts. For further questions please contact the administrator.
