Submissions 2015

The View from Valehaven has always survived and grown through the content provided for it by the players. There are no professional writers churning out the articles found here; it is all driven by submissions from the players. We welcome and encourage submissions by everyone and anyone. Here are a few points to remember...

-Please send all submissions in a .doc (Word) or .txt file. These can be sent as attachments to our staff:
  • Alex (gonzoalex23@gmail.com)  Editor and Loudmouth-in-Chief
  • Angela (aearlegray@gmail.com) The Boss Lady
  • Jennifer (je.denar@gmail.com) Food Editor and Aeston-Wrangler
  • Kelly (kelly@bonci.net) Fashion Diva, and Lover of Pigs
-Contact information for the View from Valheaven staff will be updated as needed every January.

-Pictures may be added to an article, unless the author of the article requests we not do this for their article. If you have a specific picture in mind feel free to send it along with the submission.

-All submissions will be published as sent to us. However, if you are worried about typos or spelling and grammar errors, the staff can do some editing if you request this. If you do request the staff to look over your article, light editing as stated above will be performed before the piece is published. If larger or more detailed editing is required, the edited version will be sent back to you for approval before it is published. (Please note, we may discontinue the offer to edit articles if our work load gets to be too much.)

-Our goal is to publish no more than 3 articles a day. With regular features this may mean some time will pass between when your article is sent in and when it is published. If it has been some time since your article was sent in, let us know and we can let you know when it is likely to be published. (In all honesty, this is not likely to be a problem until we really start to get rolling.)

-What are we looking for? Articles relevant to playing a character, event holding, artwork, poetry, stories, etc. Pretty much anything is acceptable. We do, however, request that these submissions be somehow related to the Realms. While a really good picture of a warrior may look cool, we prefer it to be of a Realms character (PC or NPC).

Thanks and we eagerly look forward to your submissions!
