"Now, for my grand editorial on the virtues of banana pocky!"

So, you're ready to do some heavy research into trends, history, and etymology? Or you want to rant about the crazy ending to the live-action series? Perhaps you just want to tell the net to stop self-inserting themselves into their Chibiusa hentai! Well, whatever you want to do, if you're sending to submit it to Save Our Sanity, you'd best read the submission guidelines to be sure you don't get your masterpiece rejected.

1. Proofread your own editorial. If you make a typo or two, I can fix that. But if you send me an editorial loaded with spelling and grammatical errors to the point of incoherency, I will reject it flat-out. If proof-reading is not your strong suit, just have a friend or someone else look it over. I cannot do it for you because I don't have the time.

2. No flames. I will not take an editorial that is simply a flame. If you are reporting on a site with a history of errors, you need to prove there's been an attempt to correct it that was previously rejected, as well as keep your article free of subjective bias (jokes are fine, attacks are not). A total hit piece on anyone will be flat-out rejected.

3. Meet or reasonably approach the minimum word limit. The minimum word limit for an editorial is 500. An article must approach 1000. I'm not going to count every word, but these are to ensure that you have enough material to write about. If you can't get at least 500 words out of your own feelings, you may need to either consider a better topic or spend more time on coming up with a better approach. Articles are longer pieces because they are not opinions but actual informative writing. For reference, 1000 words is almost one printed page of a single-spaced document with a 12pt standard font. It's nowhere near a novel.

With those guidelines out of the way, make that before you submit a piece to me, you include:
