It is quite easy once you get used to it. :)

SoA always involves bad memories for me - I applied there very early in my fanfic writing 'career' (lol), when I had no real idea what people considered to be canon and what not, and was rejected (twice). I very much felt like giving up writing fanfiction altogether because of it. By now, I think I know pretty well what kind of stories would be suited for the site, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able pluck up the courage to apply again. ;-) For the moment, I'm very content to just use the site to read other people's stories. *g*
