How it works
Six steps, one gate at a time.
Every submission that reaches this site is meant to move through the same six gates, whether it ends as a single anonymous story or the seed of a dramatized episode.
Submissions are not open yet. There is no live intake form on this site right now -- this page only describes how the process will work once they are.
1. Submit
A guided intake form, once it opens. No real name required -- only a case number ties a submission back to you.
2. Human read
A story editor reads for coherence, safety flags, and potential -- never for "is this dramatic enough."
3. Anonymize
Names, locations, dates, and identifying details are removed or generalized so nothing in the published piece can trace back to you.
4. Dramatize
The anonymized account is shaped into a narrative treatment -- scenes, a throughline, an ending -- while staying true to what happened.
5. Contributor approval
You read the treatment before anything is published anywhere. Request changes, or withdraw entirely -- no questions asked.
6. Publish, and/or develop
Approved pieces go up as written stories. A subset may also enter TV development, which requires a second, separate approval.
