Where do good papers go after they are submitted? College essays research reports, cover letters... we infuse a little of ourselves in everything we write, no matter how corporate or scholastic the final product becomes.

RULES to READERS:

There is one and ONLY one rule:

1. The papers on this site are for the edification and entertainment of viewers only. Do NOT copy information verbatim into your own work. Your teachers WILL find out and that is PLAGIARISM. I am not responsible if you fail a class because you cheated!

However, citing a paper (or any of its sources) is fine, just USE PROPER CITATION. Easybib.com is a good place to learn how to cite sources.

RULES to POSTERS:

1. If you want to submit something, send in a piece to me via PM and you'll get credit for your work.

2. Spell and grammar check! A typo here and there is fine, but this is work you submitted at one point, right?

3. One piece will be posted per day, so if yours is not added immediately, don't fret.

4. Papers are screened by me and may be turned away. I will ALWAYS give a reason why, however. If that reason is fixed, it can be resubmitted.

IF anyone wants to submit in a "fake" paper (Ed Elric writing an alchemy report, for example) this is fine, too! Just make sure to include that the paper is a work of fiction and not a scholarly article.
