Here is the information for submitting your rough drafts:

Rough Draft Submission:
Early submissions are welcome.
Please put your story Title and Author's name in the subject line.
If your story is currently untitled, please note *Untitled* and Author's name in the subject line.
Rough drafts can be sent in as the body of the text, or as an attachment. If it's sent as an attachment, please send it as a .doc, .rtf or .txt file.
Your rough draft does not need to be beta'd at this time. To qualify for the main Art Claim this year, your rough draft must be a minimum of 80% complete, and close enough to being finished that you are certain you will complete it on time. Once your story is claimed, you have an Artist counting on you to post your work.
Please list your current information. This information may change prior to posting in October (such as your final WC, the title, etc.).
Your email is to include:

A summary to be posted for the Art Claim:
For Authors with more than one story:
Yes, you are allowed to submit multiple stories (You are allowed to submit ONE 5K-10K micro bang story per year, and up to THREE stories total) for the art claim provided they are at least 80% complete and will be completed and beta'd by the end of September.
Missed Deadline?
What's late? I'd like to have all the summaries by 16 August, but as long as you get it in by sometime on 18 August, we can still add your story summary. Please remember that some Artists may be making their choices based on the summaries presented on 18 August and I usually post the summaries fairly early in the day.
What if you miss the Art Claim deadline altogether? You are still welcome to post your completed story and may provide your own art or post your story without art. Watch for the availability post in September and let me know if your story is ready to post.
