[QUOTE="seasong, post: 346669, member: 5137"] [SIZE=3][b]My Thoughts (IMHO Only, Of Course)[/b][/SIZE] [b]Submissions[/b] One setting per person. Pick your best one. 1000 words * short magazine article * plenty of space for most ideas * won't kill judges * [i]majority[/i] of WotC submissions can still fit without modification. * 1500-2000 words more flexible, but would kill judges. * less than 1000 words not fair to complex settings [b]Due Process[/b] I prefer judges all the way. I wouldn't mind using polling to pick the judges, of course :). Also: Don't talk about your submission (or maybe Morrus can start a thread where we can, but which the judges know not to read). Whatever process is used should end up with a 1st place setting with 40-50K words, and 9 runners up with 5-10K words. These will go into the book :). [b]Book[/b] I very much like the idea of a multi-setting book. If it works out well (and if the judges aren't dead), I would love the idea of buying one of these annually. Below is my ideal book: Possible Title: The 2002 Setting Book? (128 pages) Title Page: 1 page Thorough Table of Contents: 1 page Introduction: 2 pages (Morrus, maybe Anthony or Ryan?) Author Bios: 2 pages (1 paragraph each) 1st Place: 50 pages 9 Runners Up: 8 pages each (72 pages total) 1st place gets half of author profit; runners up split the other half evenly. Example: 1st place: 10% 9 Runners Up: 1.1% each (Or you could do 15% and 1.65% each; or 20% and 2.2% each) This would look real good on my shelf. [i]Real good[/i]. Top 5 Advantages: 5. Individual authors can publish more thorough treatments, supplements, etc. 4. Ten Good Settings. One Big Book. 3. Cost efficient in print. 2. Author bios! 1. I repeat: This would look real good on my shelf. [/QUOTE]
