ATTENTION

As those of you who've submitted recently know, there has recently been an updated, expanded version of the submission rules posted. Apparently I hadn't been clear enough with the original, two-entry version I had typed up, and for that I apologize. These new rules are a standardized version of what I'd been thinking all along, but never set out in plain terms.

Please go read them. You can find them by going to your account and clicking like you're going to submit a story, and every story on the archive is subject to them, even ones that were accepted before this formalization. If your story fails to comply, fix it - otherwise sooner or later you'll be getting a little note from a member of the Cabal suggesting you do so.

I have said this repeatedly, but just so I know everyone has seen it: I highly recommend a beta reader for everyone. I'm pretty darn good at beta reading, but I still have my own fics read over by someone else because it's very hard to spot your own mistakes. There is no one so perfect that they will never make a typo, and this is your fic, your baby, the finished product that you are showing to the world. Do you want people's impression of it to be that you don't care enough about your own work to do it right?
