Aw man, there was me thinking I was gonna get away with having to do any more work for this! (Just kidding, don't worry).
4000 words or whatever the limit is, by the grand scheme of things, very short (srsly). However, I guess I use published fiction as a yard stick, rather than fanfiction, so yeah, maybe I will lower the word count significantly next time. It'd made my side of things easier, if other people would be happy with that.
Mailing list sounds nice but would be a lot of effort. I do announce the rough dates of competitions at the end of the previous one, but it generally goes Art Competition in early spring and Fiction Competition around August. Maybe I should specify dates for them. Fanfiction is August 1st. Art, I'll decide closer to the time. I try and run things to avoid known exam seasons and stuff, but it's not easy.
Anyway, if you're working on something for this, please say so here. I have one entry so far. I'd run the competition for three or more. I'll stuff a few more weeks on the deadline if people are working on things.
