Hi. I sent my Challenge 2 submission at exactly 11:59pm and the re-submission a couple minutes after. And the story is apparently 1001 words. Will I be disqualified...?

As long as the uploaded version works and was uploaded on time, you are fine.  Also, there is a small penalty for going over the word limit, but sometimes word counters vary on the different programs so you may still be fine as long as the Microsoft Word counter that we use is 1,000 or under (not including the title page).  Please let us know if you have any other questions or need anything else.  Good luck!

Thank you! Now that I look back at it, I had something repetitive in the first sentence Wacko. Oh well, its in the judges' hands now.
