Ah, much easier! However, a suggestion, with background first:
I was really confused first time going over that page. The introductory text is full of linked text, which I skimmed looking for specified directions, saw no directions except a mysterious assertion that the images on the page didn't work (and thought, huh? Why not?). Then I looked through the images, pretty much understood what was being required, and spent a little while *not* being able to find the actual working submission form.
Then I went back to the introductory text and started clicking on text links until I clicked on the words Submission Form which, naturally, took me to the working submission form.
So, my suggestion: make it very clear, i.e. spell out distinctly and condescendingly, that the page shows what the submission form will look like and explains what to put in the fields, but that the *actual* submission form is found [insert bells, whistles, bright colors and italics]HERE[/insert]. And HERE is where one must click to actually fill out the submission form, so come back HERE after perusing the how-to page.
:P Does that make sense?
Otherwise, very spiffy. Once I figured out where the actual submission form was, I would have been able to submit a fic in a snap. Bravo
