Good News!
We hope many of you are eager to get an entry in for the Ignite Membership Givaway. Sadly, our submission form broke a couple of days ago, which put a snag in things. So here’s our temporary solution:
1.) We are pushing back the 1 January deadline (and subsequent launch of Ignite.) We don’t think it would be fair to keep the cut-off when people couldn’t access their drafts or submit their finished stories. So the new deadline is January 15th. Launch will hopefully follow a month after, on Valentine’s Day.
2.) Until we can get that interface working, you can submit finished stories though the contact form. We’ll copy/paste them into your account.
3.) If you have a draft you want to work on while we are trying the fix this snafu, drop us a line. Tell us the working title and we will email you a copy.
Sorry for the inconvenience. But the good news is that you get two more weeks to perfect your entry!
Happy New Year!
I totally needed this! I was going to have to stay up all night writing to make the New Year's deadline, but now I have some breathing room. Thanks for the schedule shift!
Also, as a tip for those who were effected by the issue, here's a tip: keep your drafts on your computer! I do most of my writing in a simple text editor on my computer, then once I think my writing is ready, I copy and paste it into MH and adjust formatting. That prevents drafts from getting lost or being temporarily inaccessible!
Forgive me if this has been brought up, but how do we know if our story gets accepted?
One way is that you'll see it in your My Account page listed under Submitted for Approval with the post-script "Ignite Story". Another is that we will announce the winners of the free one-year memberships on Valentine's Day!
