7. What does "Required" mean?

If you see the term "Required" on the Posting Interface and want to know what it means -- well, all the fields that are labeled "Required" on the Posting Interface MUST be filled out in some fashion or the form won't upload. This does not mean that you have to enter information that might ruin a plot twist or story surprise. It is acceptable to select "Unclassified", but please note that this will make your story less searchable.
