The Thirty-Fifth issue of Spiced Peaches will be released on December
1, 2013. Contributions will be accepted until midnight Eastern Time on November 30, 2013.
Spiced
Peaches XXXV will have a theme. This theme is "Movie Themes." This is a broad category, so let me give a few examples of what this entails: 1) parodies
or spoofs of movies, 2) well known movie tropes, 3) cross-overs, 4) remix and redux of movies, 5) movie quotes as dialogue. These
are not the only way to meet this theme, so feel free to imagine as you will. Submissions will be held exclusive to Spiced Peaches for one
month, until January 1, 2014, or, in the event of end-of-the-year contests, until the last deadline of the end of the year. | |

Rules and Regulations:

not post submissions anywhere before the issue of Spiced Peaches is published.
- All contributions will be held exclusive to Spiced Peaches for the duration of one month.
No more, no less. Eastern Standard Time.
- All stories must pertain to Spock/McCoy. Pairings between other characters are acceptable,
as long as they're marked. Tempest reserves the right to turn down a story based on pairing
interpretation.
- To hell with the MPAA/MPA.
What this means is that the ratings system is still G through NC-17. Stories of any rating
are acceptable.
- A note on ratings:
Stories with sex become R or NC-17, no excuses. Ratings will be changed to reflect content if mislabeled.
- Stories do not
have romantic or sexual in nature. Extreme friendship stories are certainly acceptable, as long as other
pairings don't exist in the story. However, romantic/sexual relationships are highly encouraged.
- Almost all content in stories is acceptable,
within reasonable perameters. However, Tempest reserves the refuse a contribution due to
content. And please, use warnings for anything even slightly off vanilla.
- Please use warnings for AU, MU, Character death and anything else in general that you as
a reader would like to know before beginning a story.
- Stories will be given a poofread by Tempest before posting to the e-zine,
however, do not let this be a substitute for a regular beta.
- Stories and all other written forms of S/Mc can be sent as Microsoft
Word documents, text documents, HTML documents, or simply in the body of an email. Do not
use Microsoft Works, the file will not be readable.
- Artwork
can be sent in jpeg or bitmap format.
- We
DO accept submissions for AOS (also known as movie Trek, Star Trek 09/IX or reboot Trek). Please simply indicate in
your submission if it involves the new movie universe, actors, or characters. Any story not coded
as AOS is assumed to take place during the main TOS/TAS/TOS movie continuity.
- Please remember to put a header on your written
contribution, including (Title, Author, Rating, Disclaimers, and warnings. Summaries are
appreciated but not mandatory). If you do not include a header, Tempest will make one, but would prefer to not
have to.
