escapefromedenpark.tumblr.com/post/135229559603/pleasehelp-me-rescue-ginny-music-by-kathyrn-hossRules: Stories in the Sidh Haven Tome must be original pieces of folklore. Stories must either be totally original, or based on public domain folklore, creatures, and legends. You may submit more than one story, but that does not increase your chances of being selected. By submitting a story, you are retaining ownership of it but, in short, allowing us to use your work in a creative commons type of fashion. You are giving us clearance to use and reference your work at a later time. This doesn't mean that your story will majorly impact the canon, but you are giving us that option. You are also allowing us to publish your work in a digital version of the Sidh Haven Tome. You are free to collaborate with other authors, but the more stories that are included in general, the better the result. Riley's email is riebread15@gmail.com. You can send her finished stories, or invite her to collaborate with you, suggest edits, and lead the group workshop style. You have until 11:59 PM PST December 24th to submit your stories. Thank you, that is all.

Do the stories need to be written AS folklore, or is any short-story format acceptable?

They can table into proper short stories, but it needs to mimic folktale format.

Should we have a thread where we can link pieces we're working on? I know I for one haven't written in a while and I'd like to get some feedback on this thing before I potentially submit it to the canon...

I forgot to ask, do we submit only to Riley's email and will she accept attachments? Can we just link to a google doc?

Attachments/links are fine, so long as Riley can at least copy and paste the words.

So Riley has requested on Twitter that we focus more on writing about creatures, and less on mimicking folkloric structure. This changes the stories I had swirling around in my head considerably.

She meant that a few of the stories she'd been getting were more mundane character driven or straight up fairy tale reimagining. She wants to make sure that they include more supernatural creatures, your stories are probably fine
