How do you personally evaluate flavor text?
Is it well written? Is it applicable to the surrounding text? Does it compliment or detract from what the book is trying to say?
How do you plan to evalute writing when applied to game mechanics?
I look for clear, concise, and understandable mechanics. If I can read a section and understand the rules the first time through, it's very well written.
When evaluating writing, how will you approach products with a very high percentage of mechanics compared to products with a very small percentage of game mechanics?
Best Writing isn't so much about the game mechanics. It's about the style and quality of writing used throughout the product. Good writing is something that holds my interest, is understandable, and is well edited.
When evaluating writing, how will word count factor in? How will you compare a 20 page PDF to a 400+ hardcover book?
When evaluating the "Best" of something, I look at quality over quantity.
