-
Articles may or may not be used. All submissions and articles are likely to be edited for content and length. Writers are notified prior to their articles being printed. -
Tutorials are used with the artist's consent and he/she is notified in advance. -
Gallery submissions happen randomly and you will not be notified if your doll is appearing in the gallery -
Fun stuff submissions and "The Many Faces of..." submissions are used randomly and there is no notification prior to use.
