The General HooHa
Disclaimer
Hey, it's not that I try but here are a few things
to consider when browsing through SGI...
1. Freedom of speech is in effect here. I only
edit guidelines or comments if they are vulgar but
everything else goes. What's the point of submitting
to a magazine, if I've edited the guidelines from
what the editor intended to relay to you in the
first place.
2. Accuracy is never guaranteed. Always, always
check with the editor if you're unsure before submitting
something. Especially if you are unsure who the
current editor may be. SGI may not have been informed
if a magazine has gone under, moved, etc. so there's
always a chance I've got bad info listed. Be cautious!
3. I'm not responsible for what people write! See
number one.
4. I'm also not responsible if a magazine disappears
or moves locations and your submission goes unread
and stamps are wasted. I know it sucks but I unfortunately
can't verify info every waking hour.
5. Just because something is submitted to SGI (through
the forms posted, or otherwise) doesn't automatically
mean it will be added. If you offer crappy/incomplete
info (ie, only a site URL) or you've submitted an
item I don't think meshes with SGI (another example:
your personal site where you publish your own stories
and maybe someone else's every 11 months - that
just isn't considered a magazine by my standards
and I'm sure SGI readers will agree. If you operate
a personal ego site and call it a public webzine,
it probably won't get listed.)
6. Please don't submit bad magazine info. Don't
say they're dead if you're unsure (or hate them).
Etc, etc, it's bad karma, man.
7. Spicy Green Iguana does not accept submissions
/ stories / artwork / reviews / articles / generic
press releases about authors or their books. I will
offer advice when I can. I will not review your
material, sorry. I am not a publisher, press, electronic
magazine or personal bank. I offer no credit, home
loans or debt consolidation. Again, sorry.
8. Have fun, enjoy your quest to find a home for
your work. If SGI has been tapped out, try the marketlist.com,
writemarket.com and ralans.com just to name a few
similar to SGI.
The Privacy Policy Bits
Any personal info submitted via SGI's forms or
newsletter sign up IS NOT sold or given out or used
for anything else other than to contact you when
appropriate. That's it. It's a small policy that's
private, go away, you can't read any more of it.
The Rights of My Copied Writes
Other than the listings, resources and news, everything
else on the site is mine. All text, pictures, graphics,
code, and general funk is claimed by me. You can
borrow my sheyat, just don't steal it or call it
your own. Linking is cool, but not if you copy it
straight into your site. If you're unsure, just
ask. I'm pretty laid back.
