Submissions Guidelines

The Wizard’s Lair is accepting art and stories for posting on this free website. We thank our contributors for their hard work. The submission guidelines below may change as webmasters change.

General

The Wizard’s Lair focuses on the adult superheroine genre, so stories and art submitted to this website should feature superheroines (or at least heroines) as characters. Within this larger theme just about anything is welcome (although it is always a good idea to stay away from sensitive subject matter such as politics and religion).

One subject not acceptable at The Wizard’s Lair is pedophilia. Art may be photograph based, hand drawn or painted, or computer generated (CGI) images. For photograph-based art federal 2257 regulations require that websites posting sexually explicit images maintain age documentation for models. Therefore, the Wizard’s Lair does not accept photograph-based art featuring sexual activity, including genital touching, regardless of the model’s apparent age. Handmade or CGI images should not feature characters who appear to be children, or who are said to be children in text associated with the image. If there is any room for misinterpretation, the webmaster may include a note on the gallery page stating that all characters featured in the gallery are of adult maturity, or refuse to post the images in question. Stories should also not include any characters specifically identified as being under the age of 18 engaged in sexual activity.

Art

Scarlet is currently responsible for posting art at The Wizard’s Lair. Art for posting on the website should be emailed to wandamaximoff13@yahoo.com.

Art will generally be posted in art gallery pages or as art-based stories (serials). We do not currently have any guest art gallery pages, so only Henchmen may submit art to The Wizard’s Lair. We do, however, accept new Henchment who have at least 12 images to get their new gallery page started. We will also accept serials from new contributors who have at least twelve images to get their serial started. In both cases, acceptance will be based on the webmaster’s evaluation of the quality of the art.

The Wizard’s Lair will accept no more than 18 images (the size of one full gallery page) from each contributor per update. Images should be submitted in .jpg (jpeg) format. Images should be no larger than about 1800 pixels wide and should be saved one category or more less than maximum quality (i.e., 11 or less for Adobe Photoshop) to reduce file size while maintaining excellent web-based image quality. Webmasters will check image size and may reduce size and quality if necessary.

Please limit the number of images submitted to The Wizard’s Lair that are posted elsewhere. Also, although we are heartbroken that many art pieces submitted previously to The Wizard’s Lair have been lost during the pandemic, those Henchmen able to resubmit their work may wish to high-grade the submissions from their catalog of older work; we need to keep our server-space footprint to a reasonable size. Obviously, serials need to be made complete.

Stories

Scarlet is currently responsible for posting text stories at The Wizard’s Lair. Stories posting on the website should be emailed to wandamaximoff13@yahoo.com. Stories will be accepted from new and old contributors alike. In both cases, acceptance will be based on the webmaster’s evaluation of the quality of the stories. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are as important as imagination in making stories enjoyable to readers.

The Wizard’s Lair will accept no more than one new story file from each contributor per update. Stories should be submitted in either Microsoft Word (.docx, .doc) or web page (.htm, .html) format. Images may be imbedded in the story; if you are sending the story with images converted from a Word document, remember to send the files folder created when you converted the Word file to a web page because that is where the image files are.

Please limit the number of stories submitted to The Wizard’s Lair that are posted elsewhere.
