Content Guidelines

These guidelines pertain to what we will accept in the anthology. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected.

• No anonymous or pseudonymous submissions. You must use the name you currently use out and about in the world (whether or not it's what you used to go by at Hampshire.)
• You must be a current or former student, faculty, staff, or other person who was meaningfully a part of the Hampshire College community. We are very flexible.
• Keep your criticisms systemic, not personal. We aren't interested in publishing call-out posts or getting sued for libel.
• We won't publish anything that will get us in trouble with the law or sued by Hampshire. We vaguely intend to follow the expectations we were held to by the Hampshire student handbook. Sorry for being cowards.
• Submissions under 10 megabytes will be hosted on both posthampshire.org and archive.org under our account. Submissions over 10 megabytes will be hosted on only archive.org and linked to from posthampshire.org
• We are open to accepting any medium or media-type, but if it's not easy to post on the internet, we're gonna need you to work with us here on how we're supposed to include it. If it's too much work we may have to pass.
• Your submission may or may not be edited, and we can’t promise any spellchecking, so any horrendous mistakes are your fault, not ours. We promise not to insert comical spelling mistakes in submissions to make you look foolish.
• You may submit multiple pieces, but we might not take all of them.
• We will not accept submissions that we suspect were generated using modern "AI" such as GPT, Claude, DALL-E, Nano Banana, Suno etc. We recognize that there are normal levels of algorithm use integrated into everything these days. We do not accept lazily telling a robot to do it all for you. We may make exceptions for content that used janky old "AI" from pre-2020 if it was meaningfully a part of your time at Hampshire—such as if you had hand-coded it for a class/project you hyperfixated on instead of doing mid-terms.
• It's not very Omen of us but we do reserve the right to not include any submission for any reason. We don't want to ruin it with your dick pics.

Legalistic Licensing & Liability Stuff

By submitting your work to To Remember is Not Enough: A Post-Hampshire Anthology, you agree to confer upon the editors certain limited non-exlusive and non-revocable publishing rights. These include the rights to:

• Publish and make accessible the submitted work on posthampshire.org in posterity, freely accessible to the public at no charge, forfeiting any legal right to compel us to take down your contribution after publication.
• Make any small modifications to the work that are necessary for publishing (minor font changes, formatting, fixing small typos, etc.) This also includes slight changes for disability access purposes, such as adding a descriptive image caption ("alt-text"). We will work with you, within reason, to ensure any changes do not meaningfully modify your authorial intent.
• Re-host the submitted work on archive.org under an account associated with the anthology, so that the anthology will continue in posterity even if the website goes down.
• Retain the option to transfer ownership of posthampshire.org and its associated publication rights to another private individual or institution in the event that such individual or instiution is better equipped to maintain the website long-term and keep it online. Situations where this might happen include the death of Shelley Rosen, or her becoming unable to afford annual hosting and domain registration costs associated with posthampshire.org; or any other situation where the choice to transfer ownership is necessary to prevent the anthology from becoming inaccessible to the public. If this transfer of ownership requires changing the domain name or web address of the anthology, the publication rights will transfer to the new domain name or web address. We will make arrangements as part of any hypothetical ownership transfer to ensure that the new owner cannot restrict access to the anthology via paywalling or any other means, and will continue to operate the anthology website in good faith on a not-for-profit basis.
• Retain the option to distribute the anthology in whole or in part in phsyical media such as a print book, CD, floppy disk, etc. on a not-for-profit basis. Such a print run would be distributed either for free, or sold at-cost with no personal profit margin taken. Any excess proceeds would go towards costs associated with hosting posthampshire.org.
• Republish your submitted work within the context of the Post-Hampshire anthology, online or in physical media, under circumstances not otherwise covered by this agreement but deemed necessary to keep this anthology freely accessible to the public.

Other than the above mentioned non-exclusive publication rights, you will retain full ownership of your submitted work and all other associated publishing rights outside the context of the Post-Hampshire anthology.

We are unable to offer financial compensation to contributors, nor are we profitting off of this project in any capacity. The editors are unpaid and paying out-of-pocket at a loss to cover all associated expenses with this project. We are doing it out of love.

Views expressed in this anthology do not necessarily reflect the views of the editors, Hampshire College, or anyone, anywhere, living or dead.

By submitting your work to the Post-Hampshire anthology, you affirm that you hold the copyright for the work you are submitting and confer upon the Post-Hampshire editorial team certain limited non-exclusive non-revocable publishing rights as specified above. You affirm that you have read the licensing agreement and agree to it. You understand you will not be financially compensated and, once your work is published, the editorial team are not obliged to remove it. You affirm that you have consent from all persons (or their estate) whose faces are visible in any visual materials to submit such materials to be included in this anthology for posterity. You take full responsibility for any consequences that come about from having decided to submit this work to the anthology and do not hold responsible any other party for how other people react to you submitted work.

Basically: Hey, we are doing this in good faith out of love for the Hampshire community. Please don't sue us.
