Not necessarily, but we do need to find a way to get people who currently aren't on the forum to join in....

lantz.... I just can't connect your last statement to the flow of conversation. Care to elaborate?

Oh, and even if it's a lemon contest, I still wanna join, even if my lemon writting abilites aren't that great.

Ah, OK, good.

Honestly, my inclination is to go for a lemon contest, but so far most people seem to be against that, so I'm not sure.

We need some reason for them to bother to come over here to enter, particularly since BL just had a contest.

just what i said, if we only have a limited number of entrants I'll likely enter assuming the rules aren't too strict.

Really? I thought they were encouraging it....

But, yeah, beta-reading will definitely be allowed. The idea is to get lots of good fics, not to test people's grammatical skills or ability to notice their own mistakes.
