Don't romanticize it to the point of ridicule. No song lyrics. Keep them short. If it's long, it should keep our attention and it should offer enough enlightenment to be worth our time. And, more than anything, don't take yourself too seriously.
Fiction Send short stories one at a time, please.
Keep the fiction short and interesting. Our attention spans are lacking. We're not fans of genre fiction. However, we do like a bit of supernatural, classic gothic themes, or overall weirdness as long as it somehow makes the story more interesting. In other words, we don't like horror stories, but we do like to see a ghost every now and then.
