FMyLife.droid: Submit a FML

By clicling on Submit from the Home page menu, a dialog window appears and allows you to submit your own FML.

To do it, start by selecting a category and then write your FML. Each FML starts by “Today,...”, contains a minimum of 30 characters and a maximum of 300.

Once you have finished writing your FML, you can submit it by pressing OK or save it as a draft by clicking on Draft. You cannot submit more than a FML a day.

Once submitted, your story goes through a two part process. First, the FML you have sent will be put through the auto moderation system, where others users vote for its publication. If your submission gathers enough votes, the moderating team will then decide whether the story is worthy of being on the site.

For each FML to moderate you can either press the Yes button to give a positive vote, No for a negative one or Next to skip the moderation of this FML.
