Three questions:
1) Are mild curse words allowed in our pieces?
2) Where do we put our name on our piece? Do we put homeroom, etc.?
3) Are dark/mature themes allowed? (not an extreme level of mature, just something that may be a sensitive topic).
LikeLike
1) They are fine.
2) Top left, yes homeroom
3) Absolutely, we love dark themes!

I have a question,
Who will be deciding who wins, will it be Journalism or the principal, or who?

Journalism will be choosing, however, the two judges are Grace Baer and Gavin Mercado (me). Good luck! 🙂

It would not make a SINGLE difference if I ctrl+c ctrl+v some fanfic for this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LikeLike
Yes, it would. That’d be plagiarizing, which is illegal. If your mind is blank, use a fanfic for inspiration and try to paraphrase off of it.
LikeLike
Paraphrasing is still plagiarism unless credit is given to the source. Gotta be original to put your name on it.

I just wanted to let you know Gavinnn, that I copied and pasted about two or three paragraphs from another story I have done, and put it into this story, I just don’t want it to be deemed plagiarism.

If you cited the evidence, we will not count it as plagarism.

I didn´t read your comment correctly, Summer, in since your story is not from a published work of another author, it would not be deemed plagiarism, we are completely fine with you submitting a story from a narrative that could have been written months ago. Just to clear the fog a bit. We are fine with you mixing narratives as well, as long as there is still a continuous flow.

We didn´t find anything, your good.

Is it the one on Grammarly? I would like to know how useful it is for my papers. I may invest in it. Also, does it cost money or is it free?

Can you cite the evidence like this (Meyer 7)

But ¨Meyer 7¨ would have to be a hyperlink to the website that the source is from. If it is like that, then yes.

Extending the submission date. Not the smartest move, but I would love to get some extra credits as an early submitter 😀

Early submissions will not earn you extra credit, unfortunately. We only focus on your stories.
