As we clarify rules and announce new things I'll post them here in this thread. The global announcement has been stickied in Q&A for your continued discussion.

There's been some questions about what is meant by "unpublished." This was a poor choice of words on my part, and the rule has been revised to say "Previously unreleased." Which means, it has not appeared anywhere on the internet, on your blog or a friend's blog, or in a magazine. This includes any of the HW forums, and the HW blog.

If you have shared it with other friends or on another forum that is fine, just not anywhere in public. Hope this clears up a few things!

On behalf of Jaynin...

Important Update!
There has been a deadline extension!

Your new deadline is Monday, February 6th. I am aware of several people who've written their entries, but not submitted them yet, and I'm a little worried about last minute mix ups. I'm going to be out of town the weekend submissions close, and I don't want any lost e-mails or "Oh my word I forgot" and not be here to help clear them up. I also don't want to tell the judges all the submissions are in, but not have time to copy them all over before I go.

If your submission is done, please go ahead and send it as soon as possible. If your submission is not finished, this is your chance to finish it and send it in. If you're a speedy writer and think this is your chance to enter another category, go for it.
