Well, perhaps, but we do actually need entrants....

you assumed i'd be one?

Not necessarily, but we do need to find a way to get people who currently aren't on the forum to join in....

[lantzblades]

nothing special really.

[Cherry Lover]

What?

[GabrieliosP]

lantz.... I just can't connect your last statement to the flow of conversation. Care to elaborate?

Oh, and even if it's a lemon contest, I still wanna join, even if my lemon writting abilites aren't that great.

[lantzblades]

I mean that we don't need something special for this contest to get people to join

[Cherry Lover]

Ah, OK, good.

Honestly, my inclination is to go for a lemon contest, but so far most people seem to be against that, so I'm not sure.

We need some reason for them to bother to come over here to enter, particularly since BL just had a contest.

[lantzblades]

i'm not against a lemon contest

[Cherry Lover]

Well, yeah, but you're also not entering it, I presume....

[lantzblades]

depends on number of entrants and rules

[Cherry Lover]

What do you mean?

[lantzblades]

just what i said, if we only have a limited number of entrants I'll likely enter assuming the rules aren't too strict.

[Cherry Lover]

What do you mean by "strict"?

[lantzblades]

on bl there was a rule against beta reading and the like.

[Cherry Lover]

Really? I thought they were encouraging it....

But, yeah, beta-reading will definitely be allowed. The idea is to get lots of good fics, not to test people's grammatical skills or ability to notice their own mistakes.
