Clarification

It's been pointed out to me, rightly, that by letting people submit work outside the submission window that it looks like I'm charging fees to allow submissions. That wasn't my intent, in the least. It was simply a "thank you" to those writers (who, sadly, make up much of the readership) who have supported the magazine. So, I've removed that stipulation from the guidelines. I'm still only open for submissions for 2 months. I apologise if it appeared it was a cash grab. It wasn't. If all I wanted was to make cash from this venture, there'd be easier ways to do so.
