Feedback from readers/subscribers.

Submission/Publication Guidelines
Technical requirements:
Stories should be at least 1,000 words. Serialized stories are encouraged. Correct grammar, punctuation, and story construction are required. All submissions must be in the English language.
Poetry is also being accepted, at a different compensation grades than shown for stories. Contact the editors for more information.
Format:
We prefer submissions via our online form, however, submissions may be emailed. Our editor will have more information to review your submission with the online form. A story is assigned to one of three categories:
- Past: Primarily period or historical erotica, from the distant past (ancient Egypt, Roman times) to modern eras (1920s, disco, etc.)
- Present: Stories that are either timeless, or clearly in modern day.
- Future: Stories in the distant future (science fiction) or stories in different 'dimensions' of reality (elves, monsters, telekenetics, immortals, etc).
Within each category, each story is assigned any number of class 'icons', explaining the content of the story in easily referenced terms (lesbian, first time, older/younger partner). Sample categories are:
- First time
- Couples
- Lesbian
- Exhibition/voyeur
- Interracial
- Strangers
- Male domination
- Female domination
- Spouses
- Older/younger
- Toys/masturbation
- Oral
- Anal
- Fetish
- Romantic
- One-night stand
- Co-worker
Forbidden subject matter:
We will not accept stories that include the following topics:
- Sex with/between minors
- Bestiality
- Incest
- Extreme violence, non-consentual violence, death ('snuff')
- Celebrities or trademarked/copyrighted characters
Submission process:
Writers must apply for a free author account on the Tit-elation.com website. This account applies only to submitting articles for publication, and is separate from any other user accounts on the website. PAID SUBSCRIPTION TO TIT-ELATION.COM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR AUTHORS. It is recommended potential writers try a one- or three-day pass to examine the kinds of stories published on this website.
Once a story is submitted, it is reviewed by an Assistant or Managing Editor. This editor reads the story and makes a recommendation to the Senior Editors to proceed. This recommendation may be to decline publication, request edits/ corrections from the author, pend the story for future publication, or assign a publication date for the story. The Senior Editors make a final decision about how to proceed based on the Managing Editor's recommendation, and a notice is sent to the author describing the next step in the process, recommendations or critique of the story, and (if published) compensation, and a license allowing Tit-elation.com to publish the story. AUTHORS MUST APPROVE THE LICENSE FOR USE OF THE STORY BEFORE IT WILL BE PUBLISHED.
There is no limit to the amount of stories an author may submit at any time. However, there is a limited amount of story 'space' available at any time, and submitting more stories will not necessarily result in having more stories published. It is best to focus on quality, and address the 'want list' provided by the Editors, in order to be published more frequently.
Story Use:
Stories approved will be published on Tit-elation.com for an indeterminate amount of time, starting in the 'recently updated' section(s), and moving into the older archives as time passes. Portions of any story may be used in promotional or 'teaser' materials. Tit-elation.com is granted exclusive use of the story for 6 months from the time of first publication on the website. After 6 months, while the story may remain on the Tit-elation.com website, the author may choose to submit the story to another site, for publication elsewhere, or use the story however they see fit.
Any story approved for online publication may be included, at the discretion of the Editors, in a quarterly 'Best Of' trade paperback distributed to subscribers, sold on Tit-elation.com, or distributed through other retail channels (writers will be notified when this is finalized). The author understands that, within the first 3-4 months of publishing their story online, any story may be chosen for this anthology.
Compensation:
All levels include working with an editor who will provide constructive assistance with quality of writing and direction to tit-elate the site readers. As a writer increases in proficiency and popularity there is likely less editorial 'hands on' required, and we can increase the amount of other offerings.
There are 4 tiers of compensation for published works:
- Free 3-day membership pass. This pass is given as payment for an author's first published work on the website, so authors who do not have a paid subscription may see how their story is presented, and look for inspiration for their next submitted story.
- Free 1-month membership pass. Starting with their second submission, authors who are published regularly may have full access to the website, provided they continue to submit acceptable works.
- Free 1-month membership pass, $15/story & customizable author 'profile' page. Authors who fall into Category 3 must submit consistently high quality works that gain high ranking and readership, and show marked popularity among subscribers.
- Free 1-month membership pass, $25/story, 'profile' page, & private tit-elation.com email address. Authors who fall into Category 4, along with meeting the Category 3 requirements, must also have a distinct set of fans who visit tit-elation.com specifically to read the author's works, showing a level of quality exceeding that of the average writer.
All stories are subject to editor approval before being published, regardless of compensation level. Authors and stories in all compensation levels are equally eligible for being published in the quarterly 'Best Of' book.
Each author published in the 'Best Of' anthology will receive a free copy of the book.
