okay, so I've been PMing the owners of communities to see if I can get my stories into them, but can someone explain to me everything there is to know about these communities? I know that there is an archive of stories there and such, but thats about it. I'm guessing if you subscribe to one, you're alerted when there is a new story? What if you aren't a staff or a subscriber, but you submit a story? What then?

Usually you do not ask the owners of communities to put your stories in their lists (unless the commuity specifies that they want people to submit stories in) - owners and moderators browse the sites and choose stories that they think are suitable for their sites and add them.

1. Forums are not to be used to post stories.
2. All discussions, language and content, must be suitable for teens.
3. The owner/moderator(s) of this forum is solely responsible for content posted within this area.
4. All forum abuse must be reported to the moderator(s).

1. Forum admin/moderator

6. Apprentice (on site for more than a week)
