Talk:Jeff the Killer 2015/@comment-31288135-20180405203147/@comment-31288135-20180406073734

@EtherBot BanningK was one of the people who set up the rewrite contest, so he already shot himself in the foot by making the contest rules ridiculously restrictive (you couldn't age Jeff up more than a few years, you had to keep all of the main characters, you had to follow the same basic storyline of Jeff the Killer, etc.). He made it so you couldn't be creative with your stories and, at best, you would get a longer version of Jeff the Killer.

The polish is entirely superficial. When you look past the added detail, there's no new substance added. The characters and relationships aren't any more complex than the original, there are very few new story elements added, Jeff is still not developed, and the new detail just makes the story drag. The creator's cut is about 10,000 words more. He dropped 10,000 words with little to no change to the story.
