A few questions about "Teemings"

About This Message Board

If this isn’t the right forum, I apologize, I wasn’t sure where to post it.

So, I have a few questions about Teemings, the world famous and beloved e-zine of the SDMB/Teeming Millions.

  1. Is there a reason I can’t access any of the issues right now?

  2. Are submissions welcome?

  3. How would I go about submitting a piece and who would I submit it to?

  4. Can anyone submit something or do they have to be a member of the SDMB in good standing?

  5. Can you submit a piece and then post it as a new thread in the appropriate forum or is that considered double dipping?

  6. Do I get a special prize of some kind since a thread I started about finding a black widow spider in my pants not only made Threadspotting, but was also chosen for Teemings extra or do I just bask in the glow of my moment in the sun?

Pie anyone?:wink:

No, it’s accessible from the Straight Dope homepage. Here’s a link.

I’d say, yes. Here are the submission guidelines.

See above for 2).

1) Is there a reason I can’t access any of the issues right now?

Our webhosting service had a small hiccup yesterday so neither Teemings nor the Disney Shorts website were available, but it’s been fixed now and should be accessible in all it’s dazzling glory.

2) Are submissions welcome?

Does the Pope wear a party hat?

**3) How would I go about submitting a piece and who would I submit it to?

  1. Can anyone submit something or do they have to be a member of the SDMB in good standing?**

See the link that IceWolf referenced above.

5) Can you submit a piece and then post it as a new thread in the appropriate forum or is that considered double dipping?

We’d really prefer not to as we want to keep Teemings as original as possible. Consequently people have e-mailed me asking if we can use something that they’ve posted on the SDMB, in their LJ or elsewhere on the web and I’ve said no. We have, however, created Teemings Extras for works that have shown up on the SDMB which we porbably would have run had they been sent to us first.

6) Do I get a special prize of some kind since a thread I started about finding a black widow spider in my pants not only made Threadspotting, but was also chosen for Teemings extra or do I just bask in the glow of my moment in the sun?

Yes. You get a party hat. Once worn by the pope.
