My damn contact and submission forms are broken again, and really hate to say it, but they probably have been for some time. I had noticed a slump in submissions, but I naively assumed that’s all it was. I still get a few through Tumblr or by e-mail so it took me longer than it should have to notice I was getting zero through this site. I only caught on when someone told me through another channel that they sent something I didn’t receive.
So the bottom line is, if you sent me anything recently at all, like the last month, and you’ve neither seen it posted nor got a reply from me, it’s almost certainly because the gremlins ate it. You are more than welcome to send it again, but you’ll have to either send it by email (address on the submit page) or hold off until I get things straightened out. At this point, I still don’t know exactly what’s going on, so it’s not likely to be a super quick fix I’m afraid.
I’m very sorry about all this. It’s the downside of managing your own site I guess.

Have you considered just ditching the forms altogether and just doing email submissions only?
It’s tempting at this point. But I do like the forms, because it’s a little bit easier for people (that’s my impression anyway) and it also provides a some structure, reminding them they need a caption, separating that from notes, etc. So I’m not quite ready to give up on it.
Emailing submissions is totally fine if you prefer that though.
