The Frumious Bandersnatch is operated pursuant to a set of policies and guidelines, the original copy of which is kept in our restroom. This document, which is 312 pages in length, is available to the public on each February 29th between the hours of 1:29 and 1:30 AM MST.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: The frumious bandersnatch will publish letters to the editor so long as they are legible, not obscene, and we think they're worth publishing. By submitting a letter to the editor, the sender has agreed to publication. The Frumious Bandersnatch (hereinafter "FB") will use the email name for email submissions, or the realname for hardcopy submissions. The FB reserves the right to verify the reality of the sender.
FORWARDS: The FB publishes articles forwarded to it through email. No hardcopy please. Criteria for publishing forwards are that (a) they must be funny; (b) they cannot be obscene (in our opinion and sole discretion); and (c) they cannot be copyrighted previously. The FB respects copyright law and the protection of intellectual property, and will not knowingly infringe upon a copyright. and we will apologize profusely and print a credit. We will not, however, pay anything to use copyrighted material unless by prior written agreement, and we will fight to the ends of the earth in court on that point. ARTICLES: We do not solicit original articles, photography and cartoons as we have our own highly underpaid staff. Unsolicited material will not be returned unless accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope. We mostly won't even open unsolicited material as that is the surest way to avoid litigation. If you want to contribute something, email us a note, and let us communicate. We are looking for correspondents around the country. However, at this point, we aren't making a penny doing this rag, so the only compensation we can offer is the glory of being read on the web. Maybe later, if we can generate some cash flow, we'll be able to pay. ADVERTISING: We are eagerly seeking advertising. However, the advertising cannot be obscene or for any sex-related activity. We are intending this publication to be available to people under (as well as over) age. We would prefer if the advertising somehow was consistent with the publication (i.e. funny), but that is not an absolute criteria. PRODUCTS: Assuming we can figure out some of the details, the FB plans to open a cyberstore and peddle Bandersnatch tee shirts, and a whole line of General Delivery University products. If you are interested in entering into a licensing agreement with us to produce and sell Bandersnatch or General Delivery University products, please contact us immediately . LIABILITY: As noted in the paper, we do not accept any liability, any how, any place, no matter what. In more specific terms, this organization is the legal equivalent of a dandelion. Push or blow on it and it will vanish into Chapter 7. PUBLICATION DATES: We sort of intent to publish about every month, but we have day jobs that require our full-time attention, and we might not always be on time. Sometimes, we'll actually be early. And we update the paper with corrections to our typos, and new stories. In the event we promise something, and fail to deliver, tough luck. NAMES AND PLACES: For the most part, all names and places used in the Frumious Bandersnatch are fictitious, and there is no intent to use anyone's name, living or dead, unless otherwise obvious. We do use the names of prominent people who are clearly included in the zone of public officials for which the libel laws are more lenient. As to places (such as Phoenix) we'd like to see a city sue a newspaper for satirizing it. THE FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH is a registered trademark, as is our little critter.
