#### Invalid EMail addresses Some of you decided to use a non-working email address when creating your account. This is all well and good, and it was our conscious decision to not check their validity - I can understand and respect that some people want to be as anonymous as possible. However, recently a couple of authors submitted a story with an email address that doesn't work, and this causes a problem - because we **want** to be able to contact the author. To sent him the proper links to review and edit his story, to let him know if there's a problem with his story and approving it, or simply to let him know when it has been approved. And on top of that, an author gets a notification each time a new comment is added to one of his stories. Each time the system sends an email to an invalid address, our inbox gets cluttered with error messages (bounced emails). **So please always use a valid and working email address when submitting a story!** Please be assured that we'd never share anybody's email address - and if you want to be absolutely sure, you can always use one of the anonymous email services on the net (like [hushmail.com](https://hushmail.com)).
