Greetings and salutations, Lusties!

I have a couple of things on my mind that I need to share with all of you. These are just some issues that have been coming up lately, and it seemed like a good idea to send out a general announcement, to be posted in every subforum.

The Lusty Library welcomes new members who are 18 years of age or older. If you are underage and any site admin or mod finds out about it, then you will be banned. There are no exceptions.

Similarly, any story that contains sex scenes involving characters that are under 18 will not be published. When I have to reject a story, I always include my reasons for it in the comments. Having an underage character is the most common reason for stories to get rejected. If you want to avoid having your story rejected for any reason, then please read the submission guide before you submit it.

When submitting a story, if you decide to upload an attachment, please don't attach .docx files. For whatever reason, my version of Microsoft Word does not recognize those files. All I get is a string of code when I open .docx files.

The Librarian, mods, and the site admin may occasionally need to delete duplicate posts. I've been seeing a lot of them lately, and when I do run across one, I delete it and leave just the first post. This is not an editorial comment on your posts. It's just that there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

It recently came to my attention that authors are receiving publication notices as soon as their story is accepted, even in the cases when it's a story that I have post-dated to publish at a later date (something that I do fairly regularly, especially on Fridays for the Story of the Week, which is usually the first story to be published each Monday morning). This has created some confusion, as people will understandably go looking for their story as soon as they receive notice that it's been published. I apologize for the confusion. What's happening is that the email is going out as soon as I press the button to publish the story, no matter if I'm publishing it right away or if I have set it to publish later. I thought it would be a good idea to explain this here, while I'm making announcements and giving reminders.

Thanks,
LL
