Okay. I'm starting to get worried that I've waited too long on this, so we're just going to start with what we have.
Here's my plan:
The tournament will be single-elimination, bracket style, with one person getting a bye in the first round. Of course, it makes sense to give that bye to our defending champion, Temporal. As for everyone else, I will shuffle your names in my [still] lucky fedora and pick pairings to face off. Each round will have a topic, and the writer will have to write a piece of a story based on that topic. As brought to my attention last year, I will include the previous chapters of every writer's story in their thread. However,
this is only for reference. The writer must be graded on his work in that chapter. With this in mind, the writers will not be able to be anonymous; this is why voting is limited to a panel of judges I have chosen, including myself. I feel like this is the fairest way to do it. The threads are for people to read and comment on the stories - and maybe, if someone makes a valid point or sees something that any of us missed, it could change who we vote for. So the people still get an influence on the voting (They can say whose they liked and why, but it doesn't count for votes).
I will announce the first round topic and pairings shortly, as soon as everyone checks in with me to make sure that they are all aware of the tournament kick-off. Good luck, and have fun!
