We very much want your stories! If you think your writing isn’t good enough, email us with the rough draft, and perhaps we can help. If English is your second language, don’t worry about all the little mistakes. We do our best to proofread things before putting them onto the website.

The reason we have these guidelines is to spare ourselves the pain of rejecting stories and let you know in advance what we don’t accept. Each of these items were added after a story crossed our paths that we disliked for one or more of these reasons:

1. We don’t want pro-Rebel fiction that only mentions Imperials in passing or depicts them as cardboard villains. We Imperial Chicks don’t like it when our beloved men (and women) are only there to make the Rebels look good by contrast.
2. A story with the Imperials being the bad guys is acceptable as long as the story is about the bad guys…and the bad guys are being cool. (Imperials being the good guys would be better!)
3. Humor is welcome, but Imperial characters can’t be the target of the joke and definitely can’t come off as looking stupid.
4. Be careful when writing about children in danger…we probably don’t want to read about that.
5. We really don’t want stories about Rebel terrorist Princess Leia…unless she’s repentant or has dumped her smuggler boyfriend for one of our men.
6. Keep the foul language and swear words to a bare minimum. Better yet, do not use them at all…or make up a word or oath that might be used by people in a moment of anger/passion in the galaxy far, far, away. Our pet peeve: “Oh, god” or “gods” as a casual exclamation in a Star Wars story. In the GFFA, intelligent persons would either consider or dismiss the existence of the Force. (There was a “maker” in the OT, but it was mostly worshipped by droids)
7. NC-17 stories are okay. Adult fiction is kept separate from our mostly PG and PG-13 offerings, but absolutely NO SLASH is allowed. Think romance…think monogamy…think male and female. (Yes, we’re old fashioned in that respect.) Some of us Imp chicks do love to talk and read about sex though; our ancestors have been enjoying sex for thousands of years, hence, us. (And we strongly suspect that the denizens of the galaxy, far, far away have been enjoying the same!)
8. Any adult story we accept needs to have something definitely Imperial about it plotwise. However, if you have established for half a page that your characters are Imperial people living Imperial lives, and then they go and make whoopee for ten pages…that is wonderful and we want to see it.
9. Any sort of disgusting perversions, (ie. scatological references) incest, or graphic, sadistic violence will be rejected outright.
10. An Imperial forcing himself on a female is acceptable only if the victim is definitely enjoying this. Otherwise, it isn’t. We don’t want to hear about war crimes…unless the Rebel Alliance is deemed responsible.

FINAL NOTE: The main purpose and goal of the Imperial Chicks website is the overt, shameless glorification and romanticizing of Star Wars Imperial officers and soldiers. Any stories accepted for this site must have the Imperials coming off as cool in some way…preferably noble and heroic…but if not, at least capable and efficient.

Got it? Great! Now, start writing…and then send us your story! (Check out our writer’s links if you’re having trouble getting your plot organized, or need some authentic Star Wars words for oaths, slang, food, and beverages.)

Along with your submissions, please send us a brief summary that tells readers what the story is about. We are hopeless at writing blurbs. (A “blurb” is the text description on the back cover of a book designed to entice people to read it!)

If your Imperial story is already archived on your website or a public archive, just send us the link. Our standards are slightly more relaxed when we link to another site…probably because we don’t feel so responsible for the content.
