MLT and Chris - I think you're wrong that the readers don't appreciate a good A-plot. That's why, imho, we have (and should continue to have) a Kerth category specifically for A-plot stories.
It's unfortunate that its name, "Best Drama", always makes people hem and haw and say "But the English word 'drama' doesn't specifically mean an A-plot." I don't think there *is* an English word that specifically means an A-plot.
There was a debate one year about whether the term "Best Comedy" really meant the same as best funny story, or whether the name should be changed to something else (I forget what). I think it's simpler if people just go by the category descriptions and aren't too picky about the precise names...
(What,
me - picky? Never! What could possibly give anyone that impression?!?
)
