What's that on the horizon?!?
"This is Library Mustache, here to tell you that you should submit some books!"
Good day, everyone! I'm happy to announce that Library is officially functional and we're ready to accept books again! I'd like to officially thank our Library Artists that have been hired, and they're all looking forward to help you publish your books!
There are some significant changes being made to Library, so here's an update!
Some of you may remember that the Library submission rules were very strict, and it made it hard for books to be passed. I spoke with the rest of staff and we agreed that it was a little over the top to expect so much for the feature, so the Library Knowledge Base article received a thorough thrashing from me!
Some key changes are:
-More leniency toward submissions in general.
-A much-needed update to how sequels/prequels will work.
-Poetry is now allowed! That's right! No more prose-only! Poems must follow all submission rules. They will need a beginning/middle/end and must be Aywas-related.
Please take a moment to brush up on the KB before submitting more stories!
Some users had expressed concerns about books becoming devalued in user shops and having their royalties basically diminish because of it. To try and fix this, we're going to be setting the rarity of Library-submitted books higher than we previously have. We will also be brainstorming for other ways to keep the books in value without making them impossible to get!
The last thing I want to remind everyone of is that Library submissions count toward Contributor status! If you're looking to turn purple, this is the place to be! More information about earning your purple can be found in the Library Knowledge Base article!

Do you need to re-submit books? Do you also give a rejection notice if a book is not selected? I put three books in a long while ago, got two of them accepted, but one is in forever limbo as far as I know.

Your book is in the queue! There also is a rejection notice, yep. As of now, most books still in the queue are accepted and waiting to be drawn. (:

Just a quick question: how does one make a poem have a storyline of sorts? I'd love to submit some Aywas related poetry, but I have no idea how to make them more story-like so they'll be accepted.

(Forgot to add)
The beginning/middle/end is what I'm not sure about for a poem. It seems like you actually need a story in the poem with a sound conclusion rather than simply a descriptive poem of, say, the Aywas adventure areas.

Thanks, Rudy!
