>>66764105I think an annual contest is fine in terms of frequency. People will always have other WIPs anyway and as you said need time to recharge.
>Separate category for best rratBrilliant.
>>66764181You make a good point about the wordcount limit, but if we do delete the infinite length category then I'd at least like to raise the roof above 10k words. Adding onto this though, I guess setting a word count limit would level the playing field some more when it comes to different length fics competing for one of the prizes. Longer stories are generally going to have more plot elements and better character moments, making it easier for them to score prizes like "best characters" and stuff. By adding a maximum word count it allows shorter stories to stand a chance at taking some of those prizes since it won't be a 5k word story squaring up against a 50k word monolith.
>>66764547This is going to be the easiest aspect of the contest to brainstorm, and I like what you have. Depending on how many stories we get we could actually change how many prizes are available throughout the submission period like that other anon mentioned.
