I can confirm that the contest is legit. Also, please keep this thread clean of any trolling. I won't much approve of it.

On the 5000 word limit everyone is asking about...
There are a few reasons for this:
1) Most of the official EVE Chronicles are no longer than this. A cursory glance at some of the longest found them to average around 3500-4000 for a single chron.
2) EON has limited space to publish fiction. 5000 words is actually rather long for them, most stories in there tend to be 3000 words or so.
3) Falcon and I have volunteered to judge this in addition to our regular work, which means we'll likely be reading a good number of them during our off hours. We expect a fairly hefty response to this contest, so significantly upping the number of words means it'll take us longer to read everything and thus longer to judge things.
Though I heartily recommend trying to work around the 3000-5000 word mark for short fiction. It's a nice, solid length for both retaining interest and keeping the story moving and punchy. I've written more short stories than I can count and it's helped me tremendously in my longer form work.

In terms of profanity, it's been used in moderation in both official EVE Chronicles as well as in EON submissions and Live Events.
It's not an issue, so long as it's used in moderation and is not out of place.
Use of profanity can add a lot of depth to a character if it's used wisely and sparingly, and can also be used to convey a solid feeling of tension.
I don't think it's too much of an issue so long as it's sparingly used and meets the situation well.

There is a sticky on the Fiction forum about this, which we considered to be the more appropriate place to sticky this sort of topic.

Let me just say that, with 101 stories to read, I now hate you all.
Nah, just kidding. But holy crap, that's a lot to read.

As far as my personal judging goes, if it's in the 8000 Suns category, I dock points if it violates EVE lore or canon.
