SUBMISSION INFORMATION Submissions to Ruby's Pearls may be made by direct upload to the Ruby's Pearls home board, TREASURES, 1-407- 831-9130 in Longwood, Florida. After sign on, join the writer's conference, go to directory 157, (hit J 157), and hit an F for files, to find the Ruby submission directory, (directory number 2), and then a U for upload. You cannot upload on the first call, but if you will leave a message for the Sysop, he will upgrade you within 24 hours, and future uploads may be made with ease and speed, allowing us to consider your submission for a last minute inclusion. We strongly urge all contributors to investigate this method of submission, which is our preferred option. Uploads must be made in ASCII format only, or can be mailed on disk, in IBM-ASCII format only, to Del Freeman, Editor, 3803 Cypress Avenue, Sanford, FL 32773. Guidelines are flexible, generally 250 words to 2,500 words for short stories, but a really good entry will win out every time. Aarbus makes no payment to its authors, but exposes their work in one or more locations, in one or more cities, in 34 of the 50 states, on GEnie and CompuServe. All rights, aside from a one-time showcasing in the elecmag, remain with the author at all times, and special permission from each author has been granted for their reproduction in this anthology.
