Accepting submissions for Storyblogging Carnival LIV

   Sorry that I'm late putting this up. I was going to find another host,
   but I waited too long, so I'll have to do it myself. So yes, I'll be
   hosting the next Storyblogging Carnival here at Back of the Envelope.
   If you use your blog to share your fiction, then the Storyblogging
   Carnival is what you're looking for. Here we host any and all forms of
   storytelling in blog format. If you're curious about what this looks
   like, have a look at some [1]examples of previous storyblogging
   carnivals. The next Storyblogging Carnival will be the fifty-fourth,
   which means we're pronounceable again. It will be going up September
   25th.
   If you'd like to participate, please e-mail your story submissions to
   me at dscrank-at-alum-dot-mit-dot-edu (or post in my comments),
   including the following information:
     * Name of your blog
     * URL of your blog
     * Title of the story
     * URL for the blog entry where the story is posted
     * (OPTIONAL) Author's name
     * (OPTIONAL) A suggested rating for adult content (G, PG, PG-13, R)
     * A word count
     * A short blurb describing the story

   The post may be of any age, from a week old to years old. The
   submission deadline is 11:59 PM Eastern time on Saturday, September
   23rd. More detailed information follows (same as always):
    1. The story or excerpt submitted must be posted on-line as a blog
       entry, and while fiction is preferred, non-fiction storytelling is
       acceptable.
    2. The story can be any length, but the Carnival will list them in
       order of length, from shortest to longest, and include a word
       count for each one.
    3. You may either send a complete story, a story in progress, or a
       lengthy excerpt. You should indicate the word count for both the
       excerpt and the complete story in the submission, and you should
       say how the reader can find more of the story in the post itself.
    4. If the story spans multiple posts, each post should contain a link
       to the beginning of the story, and a link to the next post. You
       may submit the whole story, the first post, or, if you've
       previously submitted earlier posts to the Carnival, the next post
       which you have not submitted. Please indicate the length of the
       entire story, as well as the portion which you are submitting.
    5. The host has sole discretion to decide whether the story will be
       included or not, or whether to indicate that the story has
       pornographic or graphically violent content. The ratings for the
       story will be decided by the host. I expect I'll be pretty lenient
       on that sort of thing, but I have some limits, and others may draw
       the line elsewhere. Aside from noting potentially offensive
       content, while I may say nice things about stories I like, I won't
       be panning anyone's work. I expect other hosts to be similarly
       polite.
    6. The story may be the blogger's own or posted with permission, but
       if it is not his own work he should gain permission from the
       author before submitting to the Carnival.

   If you'd like to be added to the e-mail list, please [2]let me know.
   Finally, I appreciate folks promoting the carnival on their own blogs,
   and I'm always looking for bloggers willing to host future carnivals.
