| So I got a Gold Key in Short Short Story in RAL (I didn't have time to send in any other works), and now I'm wondering if I have to do anything else. Does anyone know what else I might have to send in, if anything? | |

So do you any of you know what we (meaning writing Gold Key winners) are supposed to do now? | |

| 1300+ words? Wouldn't that count as a short story then, not a short short story? | |

| do any of you have to re-submit? apparently for art you have to drop it off/send it to the scholastic building in ny- not film/video though. speaking of which, did anyone win for that category? | |

| On the website, the original limit for short, short stories was 3000 words, but they changed it near the end of the submission deadline for RAL (after I, Marimare, and others had already submitted it). | |

RSVP to our region's awards ceremony, if there is one?
Oh, and be proud and happy? I think that's a valid thing to do in and of itself :] | |

| I'm in RAL, so that doesn't apply for me. Too bad! :P
@southeasttitan: It was? I don't remember that. I actually barely managed to finish that one short short story before the submission deadline, so maybe I saw the word limit after they changed it. | |

| So now, all we can do is sit in suspense until April. (Hopefully it will be early April and not late April.) | |
