Ranch Hand Agency Submission Guidelines

“Real American Wyatt Earp cowboy shit. You’ll love it.”

X-Experimentation, X-Pression, and X-Perience are at the forefront of the Ranch Hand Agency.

Through collaboration with other writers and artists, we will strive to create experiences not seen in other places on Medium.

Smoky Noir, Special Investigations, and Wet Works will be the top-secret mission here, as well as fulfilling some of your darkest sexual paranormal fantasies.

X-Periment in new things.

X-Press yourself.

Embrace the X-Perience.

Ranch Hand Agency is not only an Erotica Publication. It is a Pulp Magazine with sexy and pornographic overtones. It is a character-driven home base for writers who want to place their grittier and sexier stories. Some of the stories you find here may be gun smoking, bone grinding, or blood-drenching good times. They may smell like sex and cheap whiskey, but you, the writer, should make the readers walk away needy and begging for more than a cigarette.

I have found that more than writing one story is needed to build good characters. I suggest — and this is not a mandate for all projects — that you do a duet. You want your characters to walk around and breathe a good bit before they turn into Pan.

Here’s what you need to know and what we need from you:

1. We want all the filthy details! Imagine if Oliver Stone wrote smut and had Henry Hathaway direct it.
2. Are we dark? You’re goddamn right we are. The Agency will accept Dub Con and Non-Con work as long as triggers are clearly marked, and it helps tell a good fucking story.
3. Happy Endings? Sure… Tell a good fucking story.
4. Gore and death? Serial murders and rapists? Want to get transgressive? Whatever. Tell a good fucking story.
5. You want to tell a story that isn’t erotic but still kicks ass and demands attention? I don’t care. Tell a good fucking story.
6. Would you like to collaborate with another writer to make a bigger, smuttier adventure? Tell a good fucking story. I double-dog dare you.
7. Have you got a story at a dead publication and want to revitalize and renew it? Maybe fix it up a little? We can talk about it.
8. Keep individual stories around 7 or 8 minutes long for a better payout, which is around 1500 words.
9. All stories must contain an IMAGE that is sexy but doesn’t show nudity. You must have the right to use the image. Please use the image caption to provide credited image information. You may also add and rearrange the photo using apps as long as you mention the application used, who changed it, and credit the source of the photo.
10. Edit your work. We will do minor editing as needed, but you’re responsible for making it coherent.
11. All stories will be scheduled. No last-minute posts, no exceptions.
12. FOLLOW MEDIUM POLICIES
