Tell us what we're missing.

Every suggestion goes to our editorial team — the same writers behind each section. If it fits Previously's coverage, we'll add it to the library with full artwork, details, and a proper page. The best suggestions come with a sentence about why it matters — what makes it worth someone's evening?

We read everything. We can't reply to every suggestion individually, but the ones that make the cut show up on the site, usually within a few days.

A great suggestion has four parts, and each one matters. The exact title — spelled right, with the year if there's any chance of confusion (there are a lot of movies called The Return). Where to find it — the streaming service, the podcast feed, the store page, the official channel. If we can't verify it exists and where to watch, hear, or play it, we can't list it. What it is — a sentence on genre, format, or premise, so we file it in the right section. And why it matters — the one line that made you care. "My whole group chat can't stop talking about it" is a perfectly good reason; "it's my cousin's short film" is honest, and honesty helps us help you (see below).

Links do half the work for you. An official trailer, a store page, a feed URL — anything that lets us verify in one click instead of twenty minutes of searching. The suggestions that get added fastest are the ones where the verification is already done.

Movies and shows — new releases, deep cuts, international gems, anything with a real audience. Tell us where it streams or where it played; festival-only titles are welcome if there's a real release on the horizon. If it's a public-domain classic you think belongs in the Free section, say so — that's a separate shelf with its own rules.

Podcasts — shows with a real feed and regular episodes. We need the RSS feed or the show's page on a major platform; a show with three episodes from 2019 and no feed isn't listable, no matter how good those three episodes were. Tell us the cadence — weekly, daily, seasonal — so we set expectations correctly.

Music — artists and albums, from chart-toppers to local scenes. Streaming availability matters: if it's only on one obscure platform, say which one. Local and independent artists are absolutely welcome — some of our favorite additions started as a reader saying "nobody outside my city knows this person yet."

Games — released titles with real player communities. We list games people can actually play now, not announcements and not wishlists; the Coming Soon calendar is where future releases live. Mods, romhacks, and fan projects are a gray area — tell us what it is honestly and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits.

Some things don't fit, and we'd rather be upfront. We can't list what we can't verify — if there's no official page, no feed, no store listing, and no reputable coverage, we have nothing to link to and no way to confirm it's real. We can't list pirated sources — "it's on this sketchy streaming site" is an instant no; we link to official sources only, always. We can't list personal uploads as official entries — your re-upload of someone else's work isn't a listing, it's a copyright problem (see our copyright page).

Self-promotion gets a fair but skeptical read. Suggesting your own work isn't disqualifying — but it is disclosed internally, and the bar is the same one every title clears: is it real, is it available, and would our readers genuinely care? "My band just dropped an EP" with a streaming link gets the same honest evaluation as anything else. What doesn't work is astroturfing — ten suggestions for the same unknown title from ten fresh email addresses. We notice, and it backfires.

Every suggestion goes through the same three questions. Is it real and available? We verify the title, the creator, and where to find it — this is the hard gate, and most rejections happen here. Does it fit Previously? We cover entertainment people follow: film, TV, music, games, sports, podcasts. A great productivity app is still not our beat. Would our readers care? This is editorial judgment, and it's where your "why it matters" line does its work — a passionate, specific case from a real fan counts for a lot.

Timing matters too. A suggestion that arrives the week of release rides the news cycle; a suggestion for something five years old needs a stronger "why now." And suggestions that point out gaps — whole genres, scenes, or regions we're under-covering — get extra weight, because they make the whole library better, not just one page.

Honestly: probably not individually. We read every suggestion, but the volume means personal replies aren't possible. Here's how to know where things stand: check back in a few days — accepted suggestions typically show up on the site within a week, with full artwork and details. If it's not there after two weeks, it likely didn't clear one of the gates above.

That said, exceptional suggestions sometimes start conversations — a tip about a local scene might turn into a full story, or a correction might get you a thank-you in the article. The suggestion box isn't a void; it's the front door of the newsroom. Use it.

Email your suggestion to tips@watchpreviously.com with the title, where to find it, and a line about why it deserves a spot. Or use our contact page and choose "Feedback or an idea."

One more time, because it matters: title, where to find it, what it is, why it matters. Four lines. That's the whole pitch — make them good.
