Could you consider that? Even $25 would be a great incentive. I clicked on this thinking about writing one, but I’m surprised there isn’t even a small stipend for the effort. Could you consider that?

"readers can get cranky with folks they think are making dumb decisions." What I would've said is, people are judgmental and love nothing more than tearing others apart for their mistakes.

I had just been thinking about sending in a reader story... But, after reading the guidelines I was wondering what the difference is between a guest post and a reader story? Is it just that the gues posts are solicited or come from other bloggers? Great!

I've often wondered how I would go about submitting a story or article to GRS; I think I have a few amusing-but-educational tales that might be worth sharing. But, since I didn't even know where to look for the submission guidelines, the idea never got past the "wouldn't it be nice?" phase. Now maybe I'll dust off my laptop and finally get to work!

Instead, I just pulled the general guest-posting guidelines forward and tweaked them a bit. In retrospect, this wasn't the best move. My mistake. Yes, I see that now, and I regret it.
