What's happening with the submission guidelines?
flashquake is in the process of converting from the current e-mail submission procedure to a new online submission system. We had hoped to have the new system ready for use by the opening of the Spring reading period on December 1, but could not make that deadline. The e-mail submission system will remain for one more reading period.
The new system will allow potential contributors to establish an account and submit their work online, and will allow them to follow its progress through our review process.
New Review Process
Due to the volume of submissions flashquake has been receiving, we have modified our original review process. Each submission is reviewed by two of our editors. If one editor votes "yes," or if both editors vote "maybe," the submission will be reviewed by the other four remaining editors. If one or both editors vote "no," the submission will be rejected. This process worked very well for us in the last reading period, and we will continue to use it.
