Interesting that @divegeester has decided to play the disruptor role this time around.

I fully expected that he would be one of the most competitive contestants.
I offered you sound advice which turned out to be a help, and you behave like a brat.

If you can even manage to write more than a line or two, your story will be presented with @divegeester as the author.

I would have preferred a definite answer rather than your unhelpful unsurety.

Have you really ever worked in the business world or even held down a job?

You want the authors to send their stories through email anonymously?

Looking forward to your 20-word epic about some punk flashing his tendrils of spittle dripping from his little punk fangs.

I told you there was a limit and that I didn’t know what it was. The outcome is that you have avoided a problem later.

I can’t help you with your personal issues.

Well, what I meant was that if someone is a trouble-maker like @divegeester, then don't submit stories under some other fake RHP username.

But it's a fair point you raise, and I think that in December of 2022 most interested parties might find a way to set up an anonymous side email account on Hotmail or GMX or wherever.

HOWEVER, I think I will just post stories without bylines (author's names), as I think @Ponderable might have done in the past -- to avoid interpersonal bias in voting in case someone especially execrable happens to submit some entries.

So, really just posting as a disruptor.

I can’t imagine anyone revealing a working email address to you.
Revealing one's email address to posters like Ponderable, Kewpie, or moonbus would seem ok to me, but I wouldn't want to reveal it to the likes of Executioner Brand, Kevin Eleven or Romans1009/PB1022.
