  8. End of contest is 3/31/2012. No word limit.

  9. Just wondering… do you have to have a blog? because I write in our school magazine… and I can’t usually get internet all of the time to write a blog because stuff like that is banned on the school sever.

  10. Does one send a .doc attachment of the story, along with the site where that story was first published, or must the story be so far unpublished?
