Because the process is geared more toward literary or hardcopy publishing than it is Just recommendations with caveats: i.e. there's a submission process, there's a screening process, there's an editorial review. What there isn't and won't be is a requirement for extensive rewrites on already published works. IF people want to go that route because they aren't accepted, we'll do our level best to assist them, but acceptance is based on a story as submitted, not on acceptance and implementation of edits.
And because the anthology volumes themselves will be themed. Some of them will be general and broad, others may focus on specific characters or types or stories by genre or theme.
If that single word is really a stop-block then I'll consider removing it, as for the other, I'd like people to be at least as serious about their writing presentation-wise, as I am about promoting it.
And given how I tend to post my own stories? There's a reason why I'm on the administrative staff and not on the editorial board, which is pretty much the same reason why I never did any of the heavy lifting when we published FWE. Ithink I have a fair grasp on what's good writing, but I have less of a skill at coaxing people (or myself) to make it better or even consistent.
