Now THIS is interesting! (I may be going off-thread here.) I have never attempted to submit a story, but I had no idea that there was any screening process involved prior to posting. (Eeek! Naivite check!)
I had made the assumption that you had to submit a story in order to learn the guidelines for submitting (apparently, I assume a lot). Jinn, is it possible to get a copy of the guidelines without having a story ready for submission?
