Submissions to Meankitty 

We love submissions!  We need submissions!  We wouldn't be here without them!  We're looking for good quality photos and mean stories to go with them. We need the cat's name, location and human name as well.

Legal stuffs:  If you submit to us, please understand that you grant us the right to use (or assign others to use) any text and images in any Meankitty endeavors without compensation to you, including but not limited to websites, posties, books, calendars, mugs, dvds, t-shirts, etc. (Technically the royalty free, non-exclusive, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, translate, transmit, distribute and sub-license.)  We also reserve the right to edit text and images without your approval and assign all rights herein to others. By submitting to us, you verify you are the copyright holder of the text and photo or photos (i.e. you didn't swipe them from anyone else). If this is not acceptable, please don't submit.

Why we gots to go legal on you? Besides there are crazies out there who want  pieces of all the pies and sue for anything? Half the time when we email someone from our archives, the address is defunct. If you send something to us, you basically grant us the license (permission) for "whatever", "whenever" and "to whomever", even if we can't track you down when we decide to act on it. Just so you know.  You can always subscribe to the Meankitty YahooGroup to keep the communication lines open even when you change emails, don't forget!

That being said, you and you and you and all the other yous do NOT have the right to swipe our stuff just because it's online.  That's, like, the law. Seriously. Contact us first if you want to borrow anything.  Don't steal, jerks.

To submit:

Send a photo and story via email to submissions (at) meankitty.com.  Title the email "Submission: [cat's name]" so we don't think it's spam.  Please include cat's name, location, story, photo and human name (first name is all we need). If the story isn't good enough or the picture too small/blurry, Meankitty might not post it. It's not possible to notify everyone of our decisions regarding submissions, so feel free to sign up for the YahooGroup, where you'll be notified of all site updates.  (This group generates minimal email and isn't a chat loop, never fear!)

Note:  We've had an increase in submissions that are merely links to places where cats are already posted on blogs or whatnot.  We often delete these.  If you can't be bothered to email a special story and photos crafted for Meankitty, who is the Boss of Us All, we can't be bothered to post it.  Please help keep Meankitty unique!
