I welcome all authors into the contest, for those who may not yet read the Author's Forum, whether you are published on the DAD or not, as long as your entry is suitable to the contest guidelines. I and the review team will not judge your story based upon whence you hail, though we may be a bit more strict about the scores we give out than reviewers you are familiar with.
For the forums I am moderator to, I will tend to move posts before considering a ban or lock, and at present my plan is that only Contest threads will be locked, and only after the contest is over. I always regretted the split of the sites, and I am happy to see that we are putting in our best efforts to be welcoming to those who left us for the DHZ in the past, or who came to the DHZ after the split and may not have known about both sites, or the conflicts we had.
