As for the other point - I've yet to hear a solid argument in favor of limiting how many entries an author can submit to a contest…If someone has a rational reason why entries should be limited, please explain either via PM (as I may not make it this way any time soon) or on another thread so that the Nude Day contest folks can go back to discussing the upcoming contest.
But getting back to the question at hand – Multiple Entries: When we last visited this question dear lady you must have heard a solid argument for limiting the number of entries because you did change the rules. You disallowed multiple chapter stories when the SURVIVALISTS of those days (primarily freddie and the princess I believe) entered 10-15 entries each in a string of contests. You were inundated with complaints from a broad range of authors – it was almost universally agreed that the SURVIVALISTS were ruining the Special Contests.
You, and we the author community of LITEROTICA, had hoped that the change in rules would solve the problem. That outlawing “multi-chaptered stories” would be the answer. It was – for about a year or so. Now it’s starting again.
Personally I believe that contests are hurt when one author enters 10+ plus stories in every contest as andtheend is doing this year (if she keeps up her pace she may submit 100+ stories in the special contests this year). And if other authors follow her lead we’ll be right back to where we started from.
I believe that each author should only be allowed one shot at each contest. And no ma’am this is not a revolutionary thought – a huge proportion of all contests (sports, academic, literary, etc., etc.) limit the number of entries in one way or another. It, in fact, is the norm.
