I feel like 7500 words helps keep things short and far more palpable for any reviewers/judgers. Similarly I imagine that runner-up rewards will probably include reviews of the work, but should we identify who will be doing those now? Or just wait till later? Obviously Shawn is the logical answer, but I just mean it might help to put some other people forward in case he isn't able to do them all. Not to mention it'll probably just be nice to not have him get worked to death. I think poor A_O nearly died reviewing all the ones from the last competition. I will be giving an in-depth review to each story I judge, as I always have. As for runner-up rewards, I do like the idea of the second place and third place contestants being able to request single story of theirs to be given a very in-depth review. One thing that was just a small idea would be having a narrator (of which the wiki has many) narrate one story from each runner-up (still of their choice), but the likelyhood of a narrator agreeing to that is wickedly small. If you would like to review stories of the runner-ups as well, I see no reason that couldn't happen. That way they receive 2 (or 3, if Dupin would as well) in-depth opinions on their story- a lot more help and guidance.
