  I have a small series that deals with this topic PERFECTLY, but it's three stories. Do you think I could enter them all, or just enter two of them and send you a link to the second so you can still get that part in?

    If you could combine the three stories into one story and make sure it fits the word limit of 3,000 max, that would be awesome =)
