The Secret Agent tweaked it for me, so I updated.<br /><br />No adult commercial this time.<br /><br />Romance does NOT include SFF, which means no UF, Para, etc. Historical and the like are fine.<br /><br />Subject line: Doesn't matter. Just don't use "RE:" or the bot will reject it.<br /><br />Formatting: It should look exactly the way I have it in the guidelines above. My example is precise. ;)<br /><br />Time web site: I've used time.gov in the past, but someone else recommended something different and I can't remember what it was. :P If anyone knows, please comment!Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223228949688667517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-67676763849456681872011-01-31T14:17:00.648-05:002011-01-31T14:17:00.648-05:00I checked in earlier when Adult Commercial was one...I checked in earlier when Adult Commercial was one of the genres.
