I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but I have some problems with
this. It's not a bad idea, per se, but I think what you're overlooking is
that right now PEG having only one single employee, Shane doesn't have the
time to review, edit, respond, proof, and then put up the necessary code to
handle so many submissions. What you're basically proposing is what PEG was
trying to do with the Epitaph, but I think the last editor (Mr. Goff) has
taken a well-deserved break from RPGs. 

I know Shane loves to hear about new ideas and get new material, but I'm
guessing he doesn't have time for it at present. I think he'll tell us when
PEG is ready to accept submissions for new material.
