| Submission Guidelines |
I've tweaked the Submission Guidelines. The main changes are that crossovers are not allowed and that I will no longer be accepting stories that focus on staff members' own school days.
In both instances, my decisions are based on the fact that when I decided to make the site, I was not attempting to create a large, all-encompassing archive but a very specialised site. I wanted to be able to find stories about the staff at Hogwarts (as adults) without having to wade through lots and lots of other stuff. It's very easy to stretch that purpose but I'm not entirely convinced that I want to. My intention was never to compete with big sites and there are plenty of places that do take stories that The Staff Room doesn't.
So yeah. I think clarification is good. I'm open to discussion on this stuff, though, if anyone has a really burning desire to see their crossover-Dumbledore-at-school story here but I'd probably take a lot of convincing :D

| I really have got off to a bad start with this thing, haven't I? I was astounded by the number of hits I got and the site was ravaged by crawlers and so it was bandwidth issues that took the site out for a day. I'm still not exactly sure what (if anything) will happen, but there are contingencies in place to deal with much higher bandwidth than I was originally expecting. Whatever happens it should not affect the site like that again. I hope it hasn't put anyone off too much. |

| Sorry about this, I really do seem to be doing everything in totally the wrong order. Everything should be here and up and running though. Please update your links to http://www.staff-room.co.uk, thank you :D |
