Playing in Anne's Sandbox
Anne has graciously allowed anyone to create their own stories set in her alternate universe. She has some stipulations, though. Stories that do not meet these criteria will not be posted to this site:
- 1) Agreeing not to throw a fit should Anne chose to contradict an author's story or version of events in the 'Bonding' timeline. Anne's stories are canon for this universe; everything else is written by others who were inspired by Anne's stories, but are not necessarily anything Anne will incorporate into her series.
In addition to the above, Anne has written a series of Bonding Universe Writers' Guidelines which detail her understanding of the characters of this universe, their relationships, and general questions about the Bonding Universe. Please review it! If nothing else, it's bound to give you ideas for stories!
- 2) The stories must be set during Anne's existing 'Bonding' stories. (i.e. no stories set after her most recent 'Bonding' story) She is writing the sequels, and there is a good chance anything someone else writes will seriously divert from her universe. The object here is to write *within* Anne's universe, not create a new one. [...]
