Submitting a story
The Initiative is actively seeking stories to document and analyze. We hope that you will decide to send us one!

Storytellers will receive full credit for their submissions (as well as a link to their website, if they have one)-- unless they would rather remain anonymous. Storytellers also retain full Creative Commons rights to their work--meaning that anyone who uses your story, apart from the context of this project, must give you full credit.

Part 1. What to submit
Please submit your stories to mews.pari@gmail.com . Please note that we are only studying face-to-face, in-person encounters.

Stories should be one to two pages (or less) in length. Due to time and space constraints, stories longer than two pages will be returned with deep regret.

If the moral/meaning/secret-message of the story is not readily apparent in the story, please write an extra paragraph explaining why the encounter was important to you.

Part 2. Questions for the Storyteller
Part of the Initiative's goal is to study where, when, how, and why these types of encounters happen. As such, once we've received your story, we will ask you a few follow-up questions--such as when and where the encounter took place. These questions will be very short, and will only take a few minutes to answer.

Thanks!
