  1. I filled out the submission form but was told I didn't fill in the submission body but my first 500 words are there. A puzzle.

  2. Try pasting it from a plain text version. Your word processor might be putting junk in there that is making the text invisible to the bot...or something.

    If all else fails, try typing it in instead of pasting. I know that's a pain.

    Oh, you might also try opening it in a different browser. Could be a browser quirk, too.

  3. The same thing happened to me, but if you make a keystroke in the box it solves the problem nicely. The form doesn't register that you've pasted words in until there's a keystroke. :)
