Lately a number of people have expressed interest and/or concern about getting their reports published on Erowid. Erowid gets a large number of submissions every day, and there are not enough people reading and reviewing reports to keep up with the influx. However, as it happens, myself and a variety of others here at Bluelight are on the Erowid crew that helps to read and review these reports. As such, if you'd like your report to be published on Erowid, please follow this link to submit it:

http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp_submit.cgi

Then, please post in your trip report thread somewhere (preferrably at the bottom of your first post, the report) the following information:

-your report submission ID number you get after you submit it to Erowid
-your author name that you used
-the title of the report you used

That way, we can find your report quickly and review it. Many people complain that their reports never get published when they submit them. This is because it's just one in well over ten thousand unread reports, and the older it gets, the less likely it is to be read. By posting the information I mentioned, we can locate your report immediately and get it on the path to publishing in the trip report database.

Also, Erowid needs your help in order to more quickly chip away at the massive database of unpublished reports, which grows faster than they can review them. If you enjoy reading reports and are willing to commit to reviewing unpublished reports for at least 2 hours per week, then please follow this link and fill in the sign-up form:

Erowid is in need of more report triagers, so if you can commit to the time requirement, they'd really, really appreciate the extra help. Just be warned that the majority of submitted reports are annoying to read and almost totally devoid of any value. The gems are few and far between.
