Most of this makes sense like the story title, author's pen name, character details and disclaimers. But why are we asking you to add the the link to the contest profile when each and every anonymous contest entry will be posted under that same profile? It's quite easy to find other entries by just clicking the FanFiction.Net author name (or in this case the contest profile name) to find the other fics.
There's a point to this, believe it or not.
1) Not everyone who reads these fics know how the contest works. It's simply polite to provide the link for them.
2) After the contest you'll be able to post your entries on whichever site you want and it'll guide people so inclined to other similar fics they might have been looking for.
3) After the contest should you post these stories under your own profile at FanFiction.Net, the header will let people know you're not plagiarizing work of others. I've read that this has been a problem for other contests in the past and we want to avoid this problem. I admit, the phrasing could have been better, but it's too late to change it now. Maybe after the contest, but not now.
Incidentally, we are asking for the author's homepage to be included for the same reason. Not everyone wants to post their stories on FanFiction.Net. After the contest, I plan on compiling a list to help people locate the authors of the individual fics entered in our contest.
