I don't want to deal with making people post everything off site and then listen to bitching about why we're suddenly allowing blacklisted subjects. The abuse log is constantly full of blacklisted stories, so people are still obsessed with them. I don't want to do anything to promote or draw attention to those themes.

All that being said, I think the use of cliches is a good exercise, and if a story turns out well enough, a good statement. You do need to add something about what you intend to do for the winners. The only blacklisted subject that would possibly be touched would be "Jeff inspired", but giving a cliche often associated with that type of shitty pasta- though I will now make a point to sternly avoid the blacklisted subjects.

Previous contests have resulted with the winner receiving the Spotlighted Pasta section in an upcoming month- is this still something that is achievable?
