We will be opening the Games section for article submissions soon, so keep checking back here.
Be Complete
A helpful article will include all the details needed to accomplish each step, or will explain all aspects of a situation to avoid confusion. A bulleted list of steps, without explanation is not very helpful. The editor will communicate with you if he or she finds something unclear or incomplete.
Write Carefully
While we do not expect the next prize-winning writer to stop by often, we do have a minimum standard of correct punctuation and grammar. As the site grows, many of our visitors may not have English as their primary language, so clear and proper English is required to make these articles available to the widest audience. Avoid abbreviations as much as possible, or define all new or unusual terms for clarity. Make no assumptions as the to readers skill level, unless you explicitly state that prior knowledge is required for the task at hand.
Include Pictures
Our text editors allow for the inclusion of pictures into your articles. Make sure that all pictures conform to the Graphics Guidelines and that you upload them for review and approval before submitting your article. Only supply pictures if they clarify or extend the content of the article.
Be available
The editors may need to contact you if he or she finds something unclear, or if the article is lacking in any of the above ways. They will fix small items and may rearrange things a bit, if they believe it will clarify a point improve the layout. If the editor desires to amend the work further, they will contact the author, since, of course, this is your work, and you will earn the points for it, not them.
Keep a Copy
Make sure you keep a copy of your submission for yourself. Before submitting you should completely type up the article in another file, like a Microsoft Word document or in a simple text file. Before each submission or preview, make sure you copy the content of the browser submission into that text file, just in case the server defaults during the middle of your submission. We would hate to have any writings lost to due an Internet failure (Skejo.com will not be responsible for any content or submission that is lost during transmittion or processing).
