Underworld Productions Originals Announcement

I've been wanting to do this for a while but never knew where to start. I've tried in the past to put original stories on here, but none have been that successful. I have hope in Swordsmoke. My announcement is that Underworld Originals is now apart of Underworld Productions and starting with Swordsmoke, original content will be delivered via the hashtag #underworldoriginals. Now I will say these are just the back of my head ideas, because it's so easy for someone to come along and take a story that isn't theirs, these are going to be ones I wouldn't mind if they get out into the world as someone else's product.
