submissions
Work sent in
Submissions are things submitted—documents, proposals, or creative works offered for consideration or judgment.
Writers send submissions to publishers, wrestlers force opponents into submission holds, and courts accept legal submissions.
The core idea is yielding: you submit work to an editor's judgment, or submit to authority.
In BDSM, submission is the consensual surrender of control to a dominant partner.
