As per usual, I try to list costs for art and stories under the month that the stories run on the site rather than when I pay them. (This does not apply to special content, which does not have a specific month associated with it.) Sales are for sales when they take place, not when it’s actually paid out to me. I also cover Paypal expenses when paying authors and artists as best I can. Paypal has made it more difficult, so I’m not as capable of covering international fees.
Submissions
We were open to regular and exclusive submissions in June. We received 75 submissions (15 classified ads, 18 exclusives, and 42 regular submissions). Of these, we accepted 32 (42.67%). This amounts to all 15 classified ads (100%), 6 exclusives (33.33%), and 11 regular submissions (26.19%). All time acceptance rate is now 45%.
