The story/poem must not exceed the specified word limit. Please also remember to count every single word, such as "it", "and" and "the". However, you do not have to count the title. Working to a word limit is a part of what you are being judged on. It is a skill to show you can construct your story to a specified length.

If you want to find a particular poem, story, or phrase, try the Search feature first, for it may give you an immediate answer. The Search feature searches the works and titles available at the Crane Society site. If you don't find what you're looking for, please use the Queries or Student Queries form so that your question can be posted to the site.

The poem and several different replies to the original are all listed on the Page called Tributes in the Poetry section. It is called "In Flanders Fields" .

I am not a book publisher, agent, editor, or even published author. I do not have connections or insights for you concerning where to get your piece published. Please do not submit it to me. There are many sites on the web that provide helpful information about everything from manuscript preparation to submission. Some of the best sites include The Writer Magazine, Locus Magazine, and the Writing Resources website.

Contributors are required to provide a valid e-mail address: we will confirm this by replying to your mail. To protect you against spambots, your address will not be published on our site. Please provide your full name (or, if you absolutely insist, your pseudonym), so we can attribute your poem correctly. If you would like us to link to your home page, please add its URL as well.

I always advise people to try to stick within the 500 word limit. While I don't think most readers count the words, I do think complying with the instructions shows that you understand that the rules are there to be followed and that you are someone who will comply with instruction. I would suggest you have someone else read your essays. They may be able to make some recommendations about how to cut down your essays without losing important concepts that you want to convey.

We ask that you respect the word limits we suggest. Will we read the words beyond 500? Yes. But if your essays are much longer than 500 words, understand that you will not help yourself by seeming to have ignored our request. Yes, but as the question suggests, please keep your answer short. You will have an opportunity to expand this question into a full essay as part of the Yale Supplement (Part V on page 2 of the Yale Supplement).

We ask that each entry is written by only one author. Co-written entries can often cause problems with the judging.

Your poem, story or photograph will be e-mailed to everyone in our team and we'll cast our votes. If your contribution gets the unanimity of votes, it will be added to Cordula's Web. We'll let you know (using the mandatory e-mail address that you provided) how we voted and, if published, the URL of your contribution.

United Reminders has no limits on the number of words or lines that you may have on the back of your postcard. However, the Postal Service does place constraints on where your information may be printed on the card. We will be happy to format your information and will work with you to get a layout that is compliant with the Postal Service regulations.

We do not have a limit to the wording of your announcement or photo item. You could include as many lines as you might wish.

Yes. Your choice of a team is to be included in your 500 word proposal. However, you are asked to only identify the team of your choice (from the list provided). If you are selected to enter Stage 2 of the competition, then you will be asked to argue for your team, as described in the competition brief. Good luck!!

The Story Lines are optional for the user, but they are strongly recommended. These scenarios enable participants to see that routine governmental decisions cannot be made in a vacuum, due to a highly fluid and unpredictable political environment. These Story Lines, which change each year, range from the deadly serious to the ironic and are designed to bring more realism to the simulation experience.

No. We don’t have time to answer such requests. Use our "search poem" tool to find poems within our database or use search engine (e.g. Google) to find poems in other websites. Also you can post your request in discussion board – other visitors might have the answer.

In theory when you write something, it is copyrighted. No further steps are required to protect your intellectual property. In reality it might be difficult to prove that you are the genuine author without extra evidence. You can officially register your work with U.S. Copyright Office for $30 (application process takes 4-5 months).

No. As stated in my Copyright Statement, text cannot be added to, or over, any images, nor can the images be altered (such as being faded out.)

Not without the express permission of the author. Not ever. Absolutely not. If you do and we find out, we will kick you off the list. The author might sue you for copyright infringement. So, don't even think about it.

Student-composed written materials that are used on an exhibit (excluding the title page, process paper, and annotated bibliography) must contain no more than 500 words. This limit does not apply to words found in materials used for illustration, such as documents, artifacts, graphs, or timelines which where not created by the student(s). It also does not apply to quotations from primary sources such as oral history interviews, letters, or diaries. These materials are not student-composed.

The sequence of numbers of meanders (A005316) for example, is exceptionally long. This is because the sequence is interesting, the terms are fairly difficult to compute, and so it seems worthwhile giving as many as possible. The editing programs will normally truncate the sequence to three lines (roughly 180 to 210 characters including the separating commas, depending on the program), but they can be overruled.
