Submission systems
I tried to register at Wrong World to submit a story. Unfortunately, despite registering a couple of times, I couldn't get their website to let me log in. Since the only way to submit is via the website, I guess I won't be submitting. Oh well — one of the dangers of rolling your own submission system I suppose, rather than using email or an online form.
I've noticed that a few markets for short fiction use the "log in to submit" mechanism now, which I'm still not sold on. It seems to be a general trend across all websites though. An increasing percentage of sites (in all domains) want you to register and log in before you can do anything, a trivial task if you only have to do it once, but annoying when you've got dozens (hundreds?) of username/password combinations to manage.
