  Or, conversely, set it up as a form, have an Editor review the text, and only allow the submitter 3 "undo" edits before sending it through the portal. The submitter could pick a maximum # (3-5?) of targets from a list that has agreed to participate in the format (e.g. publication editors) so there's some element of exclusivity. Then the editors can respond within a timeframe of "interested" or "pass" and if more than one is interested, the first one who replied gets the opportunity, and if they don't capitalize within 3-5-7 days, it goes to the next (in an ideal world). This way there's value added for the submitter (prompts, editing for errors and audience, pathway to exposure) and a buffer intake system for editors who want good, new, exclusive content of this sort. I could probably sketch this out on a whiteboard in an afternoon, would be pretty fun. ...but since I'm writing this out publicly, as part of a group musing an idea, if I find anybody whole-cloth takes this concept and uses it without collaboration or any semblence of attribution, karma will catch you, and your future will be cursed and doomed in equal parts. Don't violate the Bill & Ted rule of "Be excellent to each other"
