Notes regarding submissions ...
I just sort of wanted to mention a few things about submissions. I love submissions -- the more the better. But all submissions must be 100% original work. This means that if submitting a summary, it cannot come from another website, which includes spoiler sites and TV Guide or TiVo listings. This counts for notes, trivia, allusions, etc.
With the new system for stars, please don't add anything other than a character name. They'll be attached at the major show level with their years on the show, but when adding them on an episode-by-episode basis, please use only the character name. When adding guest stars or recurring stars, I generally prefer what is used as an on-screen credit in the end credits. The one exception is when a character's identity has been established but is not stated properly in the credits. For example, if Charles Parnell on AMC was credited simply as Derek, please submit him as Derek Frye since that is the character's name, and soap credits don't quite work the same as regular television credits.
The only time italics should ever be used in the summary is when it's a proper title. For example, something like New Beginnings (which is Erica Kane's show on All My Children) would be in italics, but things like Fusion or The Comeback (the first is a cosmetics company on AMC, the second a local watering hole) would not -- they're places, not proper titles. Same with notes, trivia, etc.
Submissions need to be in sentence format. This includes music used in an episode -- please submit it like a sentence rather than in point form.
Thank you. ![]()
