TUNNEL TALES
Story submissions for Tunnel Tales have no set parameters of theme or form. As long as your story or poem or filk or screenplay fits within the the “Classic” BatB Universe, you may submit it. (See the Definitions of Content list below.) Length is up to you. You may submit steamy stories.
If you can dream it, begin it! Then send it to Tunnel Tales for posting when it’s finished.
The following general guidelines apply to all submissions:
1. Since CABB is a Classic organization, your stories must include only Classic or Continuing Classic content and themes.
Policy Change – Please Note: In the past, we have accepted SND stories that rewrite the events of Third Season and include 3S characters. Going forward, we will only publish stories that abstain from any mention of Third Season.
SND stories based on the events of Third Season may be sent to Winterfest Online.
2. Please submit only fully edited stories. If you need help finding an editor, let us know and we will connect you with someone who will be glad to help. Your stories will be edited at CABB only for mechanics (e.g., grammar, punctuation, spelling, format, etc.)
3. The BatB fanfic sub-genres publishable on CABB include Classic, Alternate Universe, Cross-over, or Continuing Classic. Please specify the sub-genre of your story. See below for additional information about various sub-genres.
4. Please submit your work as a Word Doc in the following format: Times New Roman 14-point font; single-spaced with one line break between paragraphs; block paragraphs (do not indent); no page numbers. Use only three asterisks (***) to designate scene breaks. No images, no other characters.
5. Be sure to include a title and your preferred author name; i.e., Title by Author Name.
6. Ratings accepted: G to Strong R. Please specify the rating of your story.
7. Send any artwork you want included in your story as an attachment to your submission email in .jpg or .png form. Do not insert the images into your text. In your submission email to us, specify where you want the artwork to be placed (e.g., before, after, somewhere within the text.)
8. Readers will have the option to leave comments on your story. If readers send comments to the admins instead, we will forward them to you.
9. One month after your work has been published on Tunnel Tales, you are free to post it elsewhere. If you have collaborated with another author, all parties must agree to posting a story to an additional site. However, all submissions for CABB Challenges must only be published on CABB – New Chambers and, after one month, on your own personal website. If you have any questions, please contact us.
10. Any questions and all submissions (Challenges and Tunnel Tales) should be sent to Linda SB (Barth) at cabbchallenges@gmail.com.
11. Have fun!!
Definitions of Content for BatB FanFic Sub-Genres Publishable on CABB
Classic: Takes place before or within First and/or Second Seasons.
Backstories: Explores history of any Classic characters.
Alternate Universe: Takes place in another time and place but adheres to Classic themes and characters.
Cross-Over: Classic characters interact with characters from another story, show, or universe.
Continuing Classic: Takes place after Second Season and assumes Third Season never happened. NOTE! You may choose to “end” Season Two after any episode you choose.
In a Continuing Classic story, Vincent and Catherine may eventually have children. Their first born may be named Jacob if you wish. However, in such stories, Catherine is not abducted by Gabriel, she does not have baby Jacob in captivity, and Vincent does not have to rescue her. Also, she does not fall into a coma after the doctor’s injection or go into witness protection. Stories based on 3S themes do not fit into a Classic or a Continuing Classic world.
