    I find it interesting that contests are posted saying things like "Take this where you will" or "Really think outside of the box" and then place restrictions on what you can write about or what form to use.

    Not a criticism of you or any others I just find it a bit strange.

    If it's a problem for you, then find another contest, there's no need to bash.

      Jesus that up there is classy huh? I think if people need to write in an immature way or about immature subjects it is better to weed them out beforehand so you don't have to read the crap. I love your contests!
