If it's simply a few minor edits, I don't see the problem.

Drawing inspiration from the Gothic genre, this competition will focus on architecture, romance, horror, and something that is dark and thrilling.
Competition Theme
The gothic genre feeds on a pleasing sort of terror. The setting of your story is important. The buildings and scenery harbour secrets, and provide a dark and sensual backdrop for the story.
Examples of Gothic fiction, are Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Stories should be dark, thrilling and sensual. They can either be set in the historical "Gothic" period, or you are welcome to take a modern day slant to the theme.
The stories must have an overriding "Gothic" feel to them.
Stories must be between 7,000-8,000 words in length.
Dates and details can be found here.

Thank you Hera.
That's pretty much it. The Vault is closed off to paying members only, so if you are getting low view counts on stories you contribute to the cause, then it's indicative of how many members actually upgrade.
You are free to move your story to the public side of the site, any time you wish, if it's story views you are primarily interested in.

As per Gav's post, he has coded a function so you can block an individual member's forum posts.
We are no longer entertaining messages such as, "Mystical Pharaoh keeps giving me butthurt in the forums, please do something about him."
It takes up a huge amount of admin time, and I personally find it childish and irritating, particularly on a site which is "Adult Swim".
If someone is constantly annoying you, block them. End of story.
Thank you.

P.S. What music are you listening to?
Taylor Swift and Charli xcx!
The competition results are always announced around 7-10 days after the competitions have closed off. That allows the judges enough time, to read all the shortlisted entries. The deadline and announcement dates, are always shown when the competition is ongoing.
The results will be published this weekend, after the judges have deliberated

I have the great pleasure in giving this month's award to one of the loveliest people you could wish to meet online.
As a newbie to the moderating team, she's hit the ground running, being in the Top 5 story verifiers for the month of March. It wasn't much of a surprise to the team, she's been with the site over 5 years, and is an accomplished author.
Please check your inbox in the next day or so, CurvyGalore.
Congratulations, and thank you for your hard work helping authors get their work published here, in a prompt and professional manner

You have to fill out all the sections with an asterisk on the first submission page.
The "Note to Moderators" isn't live technical support. It's a box to say things like, "I have submitted several chapters of the same story all at once, please verify them in order."
So, your story will not have been saved because that doesn't happen until you are past the first submission screen. The second page, will then give you an option to save the draft, or to press "publish".
I hope the site mechanics are a little clearer now.
Always, always, always, save a copy of your story on your computer, before uploading it here, or anywhere for that matter. Servers will often time out on a page or try and refresh themselves, and you'll lose everything. It happens on all sites.

I'm locking this thread to encourage promotional activity elsewhere on the internet, outside of lushstories.com!
