We warmly encourage people to contribute original content to the Bickering on Sea community, and would love to hear from you if you have a story or idea to share. 

We're not in the business of editing other people's work, nor limiting their imaginations. All we expect is a spell check to have been used and at least an effort for correct English grammar (about which we might make the odd suggestion if you choose to contribute).  

We would say, however, that we will not publish work that we find sexually or violently explicit, offensive (in our opinion) or simply not very good. If it is integral to your story, however, we may allow ideas and themes more suited to mature readers, and so might put age appropriate warnings on such content.  

We are looking for content that is interesting, fun and accessible for all visitors to the Bickering on Sea website. 

As the Parish Council of Bickering on Sea, we reserve the right to refuse any contribution which we simply do not feel fits in with or complements our library. Our decision is final and we will not enter into further discussion with authors. Authors whose work has been rejected are welcome to submit future work, but should bear in mind any reasons we may have given as to why their rejected work was not suitable for Bickering on Sea.   

The Parish Council are very happy for contributors to involve existing characters from Bickering on Sea in their stories, even, at times, to kill them off. However, if you wish to do this, please check first with us to ensure that there are no stories already in development concerning those characters which would clash with their and other character’s futures. We have a sensitive space time continuum to preserve, you know.
