Effective immediately, I will only be accepting submissions sent via email to tim@fiftywordstories.com.
I just discovered that since the start of June, almost 100 submissions have been routed into my spam folder. I believe the ones going to spam all came through the form on the website. There must have been some update to the plugin that changed the way the form delivered the submissions to my email inbox, and my email provider isn’t very happy with it.
All of the newly discovered stories will be moved into the review queue and will be read and considered. This may cause some backlog for the next month or so as I work through them all.
To solve the spam issue, I’m going to remove the form from the Submissions page and require all submissions to be emailed me directly. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to this site, our 50-word stories, and putting writers’ words out into the world, Tim. You and your work are appreciated.
Thanks Amanda. Getting to read everyone’s submissions is plenty of reward in itself.
