That was to answer Uesugi's question, and you should enter OG Honestly, I'd rather Dagoth answer, seeing as he is running this.

Ah, man, couldn't there be a different contest for each writing forum (fan-fic, poems, general, etc.)? I suck at this sort of thing.

And that changes the validity of my question how? More people would participate, and you know it.

And you could have 72,000 tomorrow. That doesn't mean you will (at least not if you're sticking with the whoe "once a month" thing.) That doesn't change the fact that I'm right, and that having a contest for each of the writer groups would end in more participation.

But the competitions are to encourage people to branch out into other subjects.

Reward (right?) of what? Karma? You've shown me that that was worthless, and the recognition would still work for my idea. You aren't arguing for why your way is best, just ways that both ways are similar.

Because then we'd have to judge several diffrent competitions at the same time, and and considering that no one writes as it is we'd probably get two or three of the people competeing with eachother in each contest. This would take their focus away from their normal writing, and be a general strain on them.

No, without competition the writing (what little's still done, that is) will stagnate. Considering the amount of writing that actually goes on, there wont even be stress on the parts of the admins who have to set it up (and, honestly, how hard would that be? Make on topic, then copy it over a couple times with a few edits to the wording). Then you just set up a poll for all the stories that enter, and let the readers do the rest. You already know the rules, so you wont be coming up with anything on the spot. Have it start at the beginning of the month and end at the end of the month, and the writers will have more time then they'll ever need. And all that with hardly any effort.

So, what readers would this be? We have only two maybe three readers, so having an open poll would be a very bad idea.

I saw your last contest. Didn't you have one entry? Yeah, how is this any worse? At least my way the people who don't enter for some reason feel like they're participating, and as admins you get the final judgement anyway (just in case). No, I've seen other people post replies, and it doesn't matter if they'admins or not. More contests mean more opsts mean more stories mean more readers.
