Speaking of submission requirements, there are probably some that I just took for granted, but that should perhaps be spelt out. Things like: submissions that are just people splogging their ebooks aren’t going in.

And hosts are under no obligation to accept submissions that they don’t feel comfortable hosting/linking to – please feel free to use your own discretion. It’s your space, and hosting a carnival doesn’t change that.

I’m happy to host a future edition though – and I promise I won’t be as lazy next time around!

Excellent! Can I put you down for the July edition (published in the first week of August)?

I’m glad you finally got around to doing this – drawing up a CFS had been on my to-do list for weeks, but I’d been really busy and forgot.

Don’t know ANYTHING about setting alerts though…

Oh, I just meant that if you use a calendar programme, set it to beep you a couple of days before the end of each month, so you remember to submit an article or three to the carnival. (I suppose you could use a mobile phone to do this, or whatever.) Or you could – gasp – write it in your paper diary.

Please be eclectic in your submissions; I don’t see this as purely a collection of long, thinky, explicitly political posts, though of course they’re terrific. Quick hit images, personal-is-political anecdotes, everything is welcome.
