Attention Whore
Do I get another $10,000 for crossing the road to get back home again, or will my butt nakedness be sheathed from inquisitive eyes once I reach my destination? Oh, and will the monies be paid in Pounds Sterling? I know it's a small thing, but the queues in the banks nowadays are just unbearable.

it just seems against the spirit of a comp. in all honesty, tho i know going into comps that i have a decent chance of placing, for me, it's never been about winning - i just like the challenge of writing something i might not have otherwise. personally, i like seeing a level playing field as much as possible, tho yeah, i know some of us have the advantage of experience going.
There is a level playing field. If you enjoy the challenge of writing something different and are prepared to do that more than once (even if it is in a co-authoring capacity) that doesn't give you an unfair advantage. Buying 1000 lottery tickets doesn't guarantee you a win, it just improves your odds.

and you can bet i'm going to co-author with as many writers as i can - DD, Liz, Ravenstar, Burquette, Buz... see if i can get my name on every single comp entry - nothing like free money
the point is... well, you can see why a co-authored comp might be a bad idea.
No, I can't sprite.
So you want to enter the competition 20 times with 20 different writing partners ... great.
And, I don't even mind if you win.

Why, oh why, oh why?
What does it matter?
The purpose of a competition is to engage with the community, to inspire them to create, and to create a buzz. Surely, the ideal is to reach and involve as many members as possible.
It seems to me that the idea of banning 'heavy editing' or 'co-authoring' is based on a flawed belief that two contributors will create something 'better' than anything that can be created by a single individual acting alone and therefore provides them with an unfair advantage. This is palpable nonsense.
A competition should showcase the best writing and the best authors on Lush. It should inspire all of us to try to do better. Hopefully, the best story will win; or at least the story that finds the most favour with the reading public will win. How many individuals contributed to the creation of that entry seems to me to be irrelevant. Creating petty restrictions merely reduces the desire of individuals (both new and long-standing) to enter the competition; which is counter-productive.
And just to settle any concerns: this post was entirely my own work; it has received no editing either light or heavy from any other person (Lush author or otherwise) and no animals were harmed in its construction.
