Beyond these basic guidelines, there is absolutely no official or unofficial policy on what type of material is acceptable on Everything2. We accept encyclopedic factuals, diary entries, personal experiences, biographies, polemics, short stories, multi-part stories, aphorisms, recipes, travel advice, opinion pieces, reviews, rants, pet theories, poetry, outright lies and much which defies conventional classification.
Write anything you like.
