Submission policies

Don't get your hopes up, but we welcome creative stories, compelling photos or anything else that's cool. NO diatribes, whining, bitching or bad poetry. There's enough of that already.

So if you can bring something provocative to the table, let's see it. We want interesting, honest, smart, eclectic, funny or refreshingly unexpected. Read the "About us" for more on our brand and goals.

And no, sorry, we don't pay anything for your submission, other than bragging rights. But maybe we'll steal you a pony. 

Legal stuff

We admit that sometimes we make mistakes. (Well, maybe we make them, maybe we don't.) But if so, we'll do our best to correct them and apologize because of course it's all about you.

Specifically:
— Copyrights: No, we don't trample copyrights.
— Fair Use: Yes, we like fair use. Most of our content (like photos taken from a park bench) is fair game -- er, fair use.
— Views Expressed: We like views too, even annoying ones. 
— Advertising: We will never have those annoying pop-up ads but ads are a fact of life, and content is up to the advertisers. But if we find them secretly popping up, we will ban them.
— Privacy Policy: We got your back. We won't do anything to jeopardize your privacy. The full details are at: https://underlaguna.com/privacy-policy.

Generally:
If we missed anything, whatever, we will just make a universal errors and omissions disclaimer.
If you're still not happy, we don't care. You get what you pay for.
