I shall serve thy cause, upon my honour, till thy death.-Avenger/Jester. Trinity Series.Destined Legacies, shamelessly rewriting it since 2010
When I go random.
I'd treat it as a "soft maximum" although, to me, 10,000 words is really not all that much for a story, and I'm not sure why it's there at all.
Basically, unless you feel very confident in your skills, and feel like the story deserves to be longer, try to keep it around 10k, but we're not going to disqualify entries that are longer or whatever. But as I said, if you're going to make us read more, it'd better be more worth our while.
But then you'll activate my trap card.
Technically, it's already started. The key is that you hand in something no later than April 1st, US time (so that'd be sometime April 2nd if you're on the other side of the world).

Just realized, is it really smart to give 30 for punctuation and grammar and only 10 points for concept, characterization and uniqueness respectively?
I mean sure, you don't want to get unreadable grammar massacres to read, but it also means that someone suffers harder from an unobservant beta than he does from rehashing an idea that has been done a million times and fucking up characterization.

Well, obviously everyone will try to max out all categories, I doubt there will be tactical thinking along the lines of "I should just use simple language and make it blander to read to make sure I get 30 in technical", but it still remains kind of a problem imo.
Just take 10 from technical and give em to concept/characterization (uniqueness shouldn't be that big of a factor, even stuff that has been seen can always be done again in a mindblowing fashion)
20 points in it should still ensure that everyone is on their toes about their grammar.

I just sent Milbunk a PM as well discussing this, and maybe adding a lemon category as well.

Forest is a vampire who's a bit too good for her own good and doesn't know when to leave things alone. Armed with a ridiculously large hand gun, martial arts skills, a bitching pony car, and a love for pop culture she fights the forces of evil. Urban Fantasy 80's Style.

IIRC we only had one lemon last time, and it was yours.

Alright, if you think people will come then do that category I guess.

I, for one, support a lemon category.
And anyone who's read my work knows that my standards are rather high.
And that I like yuri.

I am all for a Lemon category, personally. Though I very much doubt I'll submit anything, given my every attempt to write lemons has led to fluff.

Besides, in a lemon category, the main criteria will be "How good was your smut" at any rate.
Do be advised, though: I don't think we'd allow a PWP Lemon to go for top prize. I think we'd want at least some amount of skill in storycrafting so that we can't have a winner simply based on smut-skill alone.
