Why do you, or don't you, take part in writing contests?

I've disqualified myself as the owner. I used to like them a lot when the prompt hit me. I'd either see the whole story in 10 seconds or wouldn't bother. Kind of miss that. Maybe I'll amend that policy.

There was a time long ago in a forum far far away when Wreybies was accused of cheating by an asshat because he was the admin and therefore clearly he'd done something nefarious in order to win...this of course was BS, but it did lead to a staff don't enter vibe which persisted up until round about the time that i took over as admin and said, if i want to enter i will... i largely don't but thats to do with time pressures not any rule that i can't

You mean, move to Canada?

Unnecessary. I live at a mile above sea level in Wyoming. Corbin Dallas lied about his meat popsicleness, but it can be a real thing here if one isn't careful.

in ref of EWF he also had a huge tantrum about how the contests were rigged which was why his work never won... I can't help feeling that his ahh work might have been the common denominating factor in that

Eek. Even I am not that bad. At least I am aware of my flaws and that I need to work on them.

Not to derail, but I always love to see Fifth Element references (my personal favourite film)
