After the announcement of the contest winner(s), entrants are free to add their stories to their individual FF.net or Twilighted accounts. TwiGirls Next Door will list all entrants and their authors in their SchoolsOut4Summer FanFiction Profile.
This contest sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun- exactly what we all need with summer starting right? Make sure you check it out if you're interested and be on the look out for the voting dates so you can read the entries and what not.
Also, lots of RL issues are going on for all of us that run the site- I'm not sure when we'll be able to have the next contest out although we know what it's about and everything. Anyone interested in helping out that has some time on their hands? Want to join our staff? Send us an e-mail if you are! We'd love to hear from you!!
