"Which leads me to a request: could all our writers please just put their U-number on their submission? I know, I'm guilty of not doing it myself, but now that I had lost all my bookmarks and documents again1 I had to search for all the U-numbers and archives. Now you may think: 'But I've written for the Post for years, they know me!' and you would be right. However, I think I'm not only speaking for myself here: we certainly know your name, but we'll most likely not know your U-number. "
Hmm. So, being able to click on the name or hover over it won't give you the U-number?
I'll try to remember.
I usually keep my reminders to meself in my recycle bin for easy access but somebody keeps emptying it.

Clicking on the name or hover over it only works on hootoo, and it means you'll have to go and search for an article of the author (or for the author themselves) first. I know you send us links to A pages which have your name on them, but usually, people send us plain texts, so there's no name to hover over or click.

Oh, so I was doing something right?
I didn't know you could submit in plain text. I thought that was a bad thing.
Ah, never mind. By the time I began submitting Escape Pod Dreams, I had been through months of dealing with editing the AGG/GAG/Continuum thingie and it never occurred to me to submit anything unformatted.
Shazz was happy to have half her work done for her.
Which reminds me: Yay, Shazz! Get in touch more often.
