IMPORTANT: Submission Protocol

So as of late, there has been the issue that I can't always find time or have access to my computer, which means some submissions can't be accepted. However, part of that is due to the lengthy process of categorizing deviations accurately into their separate folders, as some people do not submit them to the correct folders. So then instead of taking, for instance, a stack of 112 deviations and being able to accept almost all of them without a problem, I would only be able to accept maybe half without question and then have to accept the others and move them into different folders, which sounds simple, but in reality is very time-consuming as it takes time to navigate from page to page, and my Internet isn't exactly up to par either. So, with that in mind, I have created...SUBMISSION PROTOCOL. And it's written all fancy shmancy for you guys so it feels all official and whatnot! Feel special. It was not fun to write. So please, take some time out of your busy day and take a glance at this new protocol, as it will save me hours of frustration.

Additionally, you should take some time to read the submission policy on the homepage, as there have been some violations there, and I've been fairly lenient, but it gets tiring.
