but what about submissions? If I want to send in some material for Pathfinder, how do I go about doing that?

I'm in already. Paizo's a good company, and if they keep churning out stuff like they've done for Dragon and Dungeon, this should be good.

This soundtrack is excellent. I love the themesong. The syncopation of the opening, the mood o the music, it's all really top-rate stuff.

Here's my thing: I want to send in submissions, but the current format of the release form means I have to print a page out for every idea I pitch (basically); then I ave to fill it out by hand, scan it in, figure out how the computer let's me attach, then send it *along with* the submission. OK, I'm griping, but I had *an* idea (you tell me if it's a good one):

a release form-thing that's fill-in-the-blanks. I get it off the site, something like adobe, and somehow I can delete the titles for each submission, write in the current one, and then send it through. I could whip off a bunch every day (yes, you have trouble engouh sifting through the ones you've got, but I send love with each and every one ;) )

Yes, I have the feeling that this is harder to do than think up; that you'd need a signature for each one, thus the release form; but if there was a way to change the name on the scanned copy, then I wouldn't have to find a scanner every time I get an idea.

Actually, even if it isn't possible: is there an easier way to send out submissions?

Ok, here's a followup question: what works better, an email submission or a mailed submission for queries? I'm thinking mail would be good if only because it's concrete AND it keeps the submission forms together with the query so you lot don't have to search through piles of emails AND forms just to figure out if you can use any of them.

I'm wondering what kinds of names do and don't get attention when you're looking through piles of submissions. I can guess, but do and editors have preferences? Do you like cheese in your titles, the straight goods, artistry rivaling the articles themselves, what?
