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?😉 ---

**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](http://www.teemings.com/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.
