Of course you could always post cult writeups to the digest, with the understanding that flaws and possible improvements will be pointed out. Flaws would include:

  1. deviation from published materials
  2. switching between objective (godlearner) and subjective (cultist) POV
  3. inclusion of irrelevant material, or material suited to another cult
  4. overly broad cult functionality
  5. overly powerful magic
  6. invading other deity's myths
  7. both rune lords and rune priests in the same cult

So... if you want to improve your cult writeups then post away and be ready to face a jury of your peers. If you just want to plop them steaming onto the digest with an unsupported claim that they're the best thing since pickled walktapus then be prepared for a little flak.
