There is some confusion as to the submission process for the anthology book Stupefying Stories (and that's just among the acquisitions editors). I hope this will clear some things up and make others murkier. And I trust that if this isn't correct, Sir ~brb will either delete the post or edit it to within an inch of its life or leave five consecutive comments culminating in a profoundly thoughtful thesis on the place of fanfic in the speculative fiction genre. (I'm gonna guess he's against it.)
How to submit:
1. If your story was submitted to a contest at The Friday Challenge, submit the link of the story to kersley dot fitz at yahoo dot com
2. If your story was submitted to a contest at the old Ranting Room, submit the link of the story to tabby dot wrangler at gmail dot com
3. If your story hasn't been submitted to a contest but you love it and you want to submit it, send it to tabby dot wrangler at gmail dot com
4. If you can't remember if you submitted it or you can't remember if you submitted it to the Ranting Room or The Friday Challenge, send it to tabby dot wrangler at gmail dot com

Do Not Submit:
Fanfic
Other:
Type: prose or poetry
Word Count: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 15,000 for a limit, but, truth be told, we'll read anything
Previously Published: So doesn't matter
Gender: It would probably be best if you had a gender, but it's not necessary
Contributor to the Friday Challenge or the Ranting Room: Preferable, but not necessary
Story previously submitted to the Friday Challenge or the Ranting Room: Are you not getting this? We are desperate for stories! Stop worrying about it and submit the stupid thing. If we don't want it, we'll tell you in as gentle terms as possible.
If you have any questions that were not answered in this hodgepodge, leave them in the comment section and I'll answer them. Or, at least, make something up that sounds vaguely plausible.
