I've read the guidelines but I'm still not sure. Are you allow to have a talk show for a submission? The questions are having to do with before and after the ring was destroyed and there are questions asked having to do with the Fellowship. Is this kind of fanfic allowed for a submission?

[Scribe]

The only way I would allow this fic in and the moment, a talk show fic falls under the same category as Gameshow or Chatroom, if it is a matter of a few questions prior to the rest of the story being written in the usual narrative format. If its a straight out talk show format then I'm going to have to say no I'm afraid. To permit it would be to open the floodgates and at this time, I'm not prepared to do that.

My sis' fic is in the usual narrative format. So its allowed? Or is it? She really wants to know before putting any more effort into it, because if it isn't allowed she's going to have to come up with a new idea AND write it.

[Scribe]

Its allowed if there's a narrative story format meaning, paragraphs, plot lines, etc.

What we don't want is ten pages of things like this

SPRINGER: How do you deal with Ring Anxiety, Frodo?

FRODO: I bit my finger off and the pain makes it go away.

and so and so forth for the next ten pages. Do you see what I'm getting at? Am I making sense?

[Leila]

Yep. Makes sense. She'll try and make sure there's a plot of some sort.
