We are currently open for submission! Thank you for your patience!
BEFORE YOU POST
Please familiarise yourselves with our Submission Rules before submitting. We are receiving a number of complaints that stories are being rejected when that could be avoided by simply reading the rules first. We don't like rejecting fics. We'd rather not. Please make life simpler for yourselves as well as our moderators by taking the time to read the rules before posting.
All submissions are screened by our validation team based on the "rules" set in place by our moderators. Authors are expected to correct any errors found during this process before their submission will be posted.
Also, please note that we are not a beta service. You must have your stories reviewed by a competent beta before you send them to us. Also note we have a page with writers tools available, one specifically for Brit picking. Check out the Writer's Tools (Links open in a new window).

Our Apologies
Recently you received a mail concerning 'Practice Fic 1.' Please ignore this mail, as we are training a new member of the validation team and apparently there were some misdirected e-mails sent out. Rest assured that no chapters or stories were submitted via your account.

Submitting your story
When submitting your story to The Hex Files, please use the copy-and-paste method instead of uploading the file. The upload function doesn't work. Thanks.

Update to submission rules
Can we please draw your attention to the following rule update in our submission guidance (see underlined text):
Authors who are not 'auto-validated' (if your stories are not posted right away, you aren't) may only submit ONE (1) chapter or story, of less than 10,000 words, at a time...
If you have a longer story it will need to be cut down into chapters of 10k words or less. If your chapter/fic is only just over 10k words, please contact a member of the moderating team to discuss BEFORE submission of the chapter. Many thanks.

Validation wait times
Please note, that due to a staff shortage, the validation process could take much longer than usual. Thank you for your patience. Your submissions will be seen to as soon as humanly possible.
We are working on a way to make the warnings and genres visible to you on the front page, but as of right now, we are not able to do that. However, if you simply click the link called Recently Added it will take you to a page that does display all appropriate warnings.
Thanks so much for your patience!

Canon Spelling
Is it always clear? No. Does JKR make mistakes in her own continuity? Yes. Are we going to do the best we can, with the sources we have, at searching out potential canon mistakes ? Yes, yes, yes.
We are making a pointed attempt to require submitted fics adhere to canon spelling. There are always going to be questions about the correctness of some words. JKR herself vacillates from book to book on some. On others, grammar tells us that they should be spelled one way, but canon spells them another. In these cases, we are going with the most prominent and frequent examples in JKR's canon.
We, as moderators and validators, frequently search through the HP Lexicon and Mrs. Muggle when canon spelling comes into question. You will find both links under the Writer’s Tools section under the HELP link. Please do not hesitate to utilize both of these sites in your own beta work.
