I plan on submitting to this open call, and I plan on polishing my first three chapters as close to "publishing-worthy prose" as I can. I'll also polish the rest of the manuscript to a similar level--if I somehow make the final ten, I'll want my manuscript to stand out (assuming I'm writer enough to do so). If I don't make the final ten, the manuscript's going off to other publishers, and they'll want to see a polished product, too.The reason I say this is: I'm your competition. This is what I'm doing. You (and this is meant to be a generic "you", not directed to Abulia) should do however many revisions you think you need to beat me or someone like me.On another matter: some previous posts talked about what type of writer this call will attract, assuming it will be mostly amateurs because of a lack of royalties. However, the guidelines say nothing about whether there will or will not be royalties--it only says WotC will buy the rights. Royalties are one form of payment for rights, and since most novel contracts with game companies that I've seen or heard about have royalties, I would assume this one does too.Jason H.</blockquote>
