Yes, you can! To help future researchers connect the parts of your story, you may want to include notes referring to places your story has already appeared.
You may opt to limit or restrict access, or remove your name from the submission, but we will not remove submissions except in cases where the submission contains a violation of HIPAA laws or other legal policies.
Your story materials should also be in their final form when you submit them. We’re unable to replace older submissions with updated versions. We recommend you submit materials only when you feel ready; we’ll be accepting story submissions on an ongoing basis, so there is not a rush. If you do submit your story materials and then find that an addition is needed, please submit the addition as a new file.
