New Way to Submit Stories

In an attempt to allow contributors as much privacy as possible when submitting stories (a concern that was raised by some), comments by anonymous commenters will now be allowed on this blog. All comments are on moderation. If you comment anonymously vs via email to submit your story this will be noted when the story is published on the blog proper. All regular comments (i.e. not stories) must still has an ID with them to be published. So if you want to post negative comments about a story or situation, you'll have to do it with a google ID or your (hidden) email. I will NOT be publishing negative comments from "anonymous".
