Em City Mail List is a fiction mailing list for Oz.
It was closely related to the Em City archive, which used to be the fandom's largest archive. This archive was abruptly closed shortly after a flamewar erupted on the Em City Mail List. Conflict arose over the predominance of Beecher/Keller fic, primarily because many fans believed that stories not featuring B/K or stories featuring other characters, period, weren't welcome or appreciated by the fandom.

"Join the List"
Members of the Em City Mail list (see below), Oz-UnitB Mail List and Ozfic Mail list post their stories here at the archive.
YOU MUST SUBMIT ANY STORY THAT YOU WANT ON THIS ARCHIVE TO ONE OF THESE LISTS!
ANYTHING POSTED TO THE LIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS "EM CITY" (OR ARCHIVED AT THEIR NEW WEBSITE) WILL *NOT* BE ARCHIVED ON EM CITY.
Yes, it's terrible to make a writer choose between venues. I'm a firm believer that if you write a story you should get it posted to as many places as possible. However, all rules have exceptions. And due to recent developments, that's the exception to this one. If you post to that old list and choose to get archived there, you will NOT get archived here at Em City.
I do NOT accept personal submissions to my e-mail address
To join the Oz-UnitB Mail List, you can go : HERE - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Oz-UnitB or send an e-mail here: [email protected]
To join the Ozfic Mail list, you can go: HERE - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ozfic or send an e-mail Here: [email protected]
You should post your story to one (or both) of these lists, and I *may* pick it up and place it on this archive. Not EVERYTHNG posted gets put on this archive!
They BOTH have default archives other than Em City. Everything posted to Ozfic also gets archived at The Wonderful World of Make Believe.
And everything posted to UnitB gets archived to The Complete Kingdom of Slash and to the Unit B Archive. [2]
"Em City List. What to Expect on the list"
There once was a list called [email protected]
There still is. It's very small, not much traffic. We post fiction, talk about the show, and it is still the default list for this archive. If you post to that list, you're on the board here.
You can sub to the list by going http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emcity
You can sub to the list by sending an e-mail to [email protected]
Some basic things about our list:
Rule Number One: Say and post whatever the hell you want, but be prepared to take the hit.
That's about it. Other than that, some things some people may find disconcerting: --- We *encourage* public feedback. This means *constructive* criticism - not just "this is perfect" comments --- It is encouraged that you feedback at least TWO pieces of fiction for every piece of fiction that you release on the list --- We discourage mundane bullshit posts. --- We don't take a fire extinguisher to flames, but they are discouraged - personal flames suck and you'll be bitch-slapped for that shit --- It's a slash friendly list - think slash is sick? Then it's not the place for you. --- Unlike Em City on HBO, there IS fighting and there IS fucking.
I think you get the gist.
We discuss the show, writing, actors, slash, WHATEVER.
Just try to employ basic courtesy and reply off-list when things should be private, and DO NOT SPAM THE LIST. [3]
