Why can't competition pieces be anonymous
And tho they are entered early why could there not be in by this date to release them all together, anonymously if others are entered after such date ces la vie but at least give some time for some writers to get their stories in...
This is something... another story site does. They also collect all the entries and hide them until a set release date. For example, the accept entries from September 1-September 30, then release all those stories on October 1, with the author's screen name hidden for a two week period. Now, the catch is that only the paying members can vote. The winners (the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) are announced and as far as I know it's solely chosen by the membership.
If anyone is interesting in what site I'm referring to... PM me.
As for how Lush does their comps... I think it's fair and I have never envied the judges who have to pick the winning stories. I can only imagine what kind of great stories we'll see with this comp.
