This doesn't really help me too much. Do they want a shared google doc or something else? Black Vault or forums? Has anyone tried to do this?

Greetings and Salutations. I'll speak from my personal experience.

I sent my submission to the email address provided (can be found in like the first sentence of the link provided). I attached a Word document to the email. I included things like setting (for me that always meant PF) and title of my article in the message to make it easily identifiable (to help remind someone what it was at a glance). This is a method I know works.

The guidelines mention stuff already online will work, but I don't know anyone who's tried to submit in this way, so I can't speak to how well it works.

Now, if you have trouble mailing anything, that can still be a problem. Last I heard, the UMF must be a hard copy (no scanning and sending a PDF or anything). If you just lack a printer, the guidelines mention you can contact them and they'll mail you one. Then you'd just have to mail it back. If you just can't use mail at all, you'll probably have a problem. This rule might've changed, but I don't think so.

I personally include a hard copy (printed out copy, but that's it) with my mailed UMF, but I don't believe that's necessary (just good advice if you can manage it).

Other methods may work, I have never tried them personally. Hope that helps. Farewell and safe journeys.
