a very important development, congratulations!!

i was curious about this: "Papers in the Anthology should be original work that has not been previously published in any archival format". Does it include pre-prints as well, even if a specific conference allows them?

I really do overuse ChatGPT as an example of generic poet. All my colleagues who invite me somewhere get to read terrible verse about their home cities 💀
