How Not to Get Laid

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the deal with the lame legal statement on your SUBMIT page? I don’t like signing my rights away.

I know. Me neither. Legal statements always make me suspicious. But here’s the deal: this statement is there to protect me, not to screw you. I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re signing away a piece of their personal history by submitting to my site. All wrong. This is about sharing. If you’re a writer and you’re worried that by posting your anecdote on my site, that means you can’t use the incident in your memoirs later, don’t be. I’m not about to start suing people for retelling their own stories in a different way in a different format. This is just about covering my own ass. As of this writing, How Not To Get Laid is a venture that is making me zero money. But that may change in the future. Ad revenue may start pouring in. A couple years down the road, if we’re still around, we may publish a book of greatest hits. Hollywood may option the book and re-make it as a $300 million CGI spectacle featuring Julia Roberts in the role of the 100 foot tall alien fembot who rejects every earthling suitor for being too puny. Any number of things may happen, and the point is: I don’t want to get sued. So, the legal statement is here to cover my ass. That’s it. Nothing more. Don’t let it scare you away.

Are you going to edit my story without my permission?

Probably not. I certainly won’t make any major changes without consulting with you first. But sometimes little things - a spelling mistake here, a comma here, maybe even eliminating a redundant word - I will occasionally make these little tweaks to a story in the interest of presenting that story in its best possible light. But again, don’t worry. I’ll notify you as soon as your story is posted, and if, for some reason, I’ve eliminated a comma that you felt particularly passionate about, we can make the necessary corrections before anyone is the wiser. Again, most stories will appear with few or no changes, and I have yet to receive any negative feedback for any incidental changes that I’ve made.

Will you post my e-mail address or my real name?

Your privacy is of utmost importance to me. I will only post your story and your name, age, and location as you write them in the subject line. If all you’re willing to give me is “Anonymous,” then that’s all I post. While I do prefer to have a name, age, and location for the stories I post, the inclusion of that info. will never affect whether or not I post your story. And if you choose to submit under an alias, that’s fine too. Finally, if you would like to have your name link to your website, then I’m more than happy to honor that request. Just include a note telling me what you want at the end of your story.

I’m a guy. Can I submit a story about a girl I rejected?
I’m a girl. Can I submit a story about a guy who rejected me?
I’m gay. Can I submit a story about a homosexual non-encounter?
I have a story about a friend. Can I submit that?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. I’m looking for all types of stories. Anyone rejecting anyone. Anyone screwing up anyhow. While it’s true that most stories involve girls rejecting guys (because guys are, more often than not, the idiots), I love those stories that are outside the box. So, go for it. I want to read them all!

The SUBMIT STORY form on your website isn’t working. Is there any other way for me to submit a story?

Yes. You can send your story to StewFox at gmail (dot) com. Please remember to include your information in the subject line (name, age, location), and your story as text in your e-mail. I don’t open attachments from strangers.
