I'm not quite sure how setting up voting works here, so forgive me if this doesn't make sense, but I'm just trying to come up with a different kind of solution. I understand that it would suck to either have to write for games you don't necessarily like or want to write for, or wait until the game you actually want to write for comes along ( ... )

I think I like this idea! But again, I think the problem is just... really limited amount of entries/entrants. For the big fight scene fic contest, for example, we had 5 fics. Even for multi-category things like the drabbles, we only got about 10 per category. Dividing it up further would have people voting between 2-3 things.

Hmm, I can see what you mean... (sighs, puts lab coat back on, and heads back to drawing board)

Oh wow, I really like that idea too! That's probably the best solution to the issue at hand. I sort of thought of a similar one where the games were grouped together and every month the same prompt for each grouping would be handled separately...but I think yours sounds less complicated! And probably easier for everyone involved in the long run, lolz!

Unfortunately, I do agree with Ari that the limited amount of writers currently would perhaps be an issue with that idea still...but I think if we ever get a larger pool of writers that would be probably the ideal answer to the problem. Great suggestion and it's awesome that you came up with it when everyone else has been debating without really having any solutions. We'll figure something out! *crosses fingers* ♥

The spoiler problem is definitely a complicated issue since people have such varying views on what a spoiler is or their comfort levels with them, but hey...trying to figure out solutions is always welcome!

Also, VERY cute Balthier icon. :)

The only way I see us having enough entries for that suggestion to work properly is to allow writers to submit something for each voting category. This introduces new problems, like one person being able to get way, way too many points, or the individual winners not getting a many points as compared to the participation points. Maybe we could make it work, maybe not. But it's an idea, and thank you for trying to think up a solution. ^^
