Summer Writing Program Probs

I currently have quite a dilemma. 

I am applying for this summer writing program, and the sample of my work that I am submitting is my story "The Endless Seasons" since it is my best work so far. 

However, I am afraid that if they do a plagiarism check- that they will think that I copied the story and either

a) throw my app away

b) blacklist me from the program

or c) both a and b

Any suggestions as to what I should do? Since I would really like to attend this program. :/ 

Suggestions are loved :) Thanks guys.

I'm assuming "The Endless Seasons" is a work posted either on AFF or livejournal. Perhaps somewhere in your application, you can indicate/inform them that you are part of a community like AFF or lj and wrote the work you're submitting under a penname/the username you used. It's better to give them a heads up than having them do the actual plagiarism check adn disqualify you.

Better safe than sorry, right? ^^

How about mark it as "Friends Only" until the entire program is done?

It helps that you posted a blog about it, so you can use it to defend yourself for later issues.
