Leaving this up for a few hours more since it'll take me some time to gather the submissions and make the poll from work anyway. I've been thinking about submitting others' work and want to reiterate that there is no hard and fast consent rule -- it's simply a recommendation of courtesy. If you would like to submit content by another author, please do so, but let that author know that you've submitted their work (unless it's a surprise). The "rule" is simply to give authors veto power over their own content being featured, not to stop people from submitting others' work without explicit permission.
