Interesting

Makes sense. I agree.

Tipped your hand

You know you tipped your hand with this, and your 750 word stories essay. ;) But hey, I enjoyed both!

What about the readers,

I think you are correct in your assessment and something had to be done. The 2008 contest IMO has been perverse in its effect on the two main protaganists. BFW is a paranoid wreck reduced to hurling abuse at all and sundry. Back in Feb 08 when they were still speaking the PrincessErin wrote -I like public comments - and - you are right BFW its about quantity not quality.- Now she censors comments and writes crude satires of BFW. Hard when he is into self satire. Roll on 2009. -- UK CYNIC

My opinion

My opinion is that the Survivor contest is easily the worst idea this site has ever had. It encourages mass production of crap, as if there isn't enough of it already here that comes naturally, of which I have been a accidental contributor from time to time myself. Any rule change that would limit the amount of tripe is welcome, but I don't think any amount of tinkering can make this fly.

Sorry

The survivor contest brings out the worst in people but any competition will do that. The anonymous comment below is inaccurate which is possibly why it's an anonymous comment.

The contest brings out the worst in people,

Not my words but a quote from Princess - quantity over quality- Erin, this years likely victor. I dont think there are any winners from a contest which has no regard for readers or the many excellent authors whose writing does not fit the rules but which are actually appreciated and enjoyed by their audience. -- UK CYNIC
