You are encouraged to include pictures in your stories. Those pictures will NOT be entered into the contest unless you let me know you want them included. I think pictures make the stories more interesting, but are not required. You may link to pictures on your own hosting site. We can not be responsible for pictures not showing up due to issues on your hosting site. Email me the images so ne-ts can host them for you for best results.
