This may not be wise, but I'm wondering -- at the conclusion of the first submission cycle, what do people think of the awards?
For the record, we on the K-Com do *not* see these awards as any sort of competition to be beaten; we've said for years that the addition of a different sort of awards system could be very healthy for the fandom. I personally was very excited to see a new system announced, and while I had some reservations, I was hoping the Merriweathers would go very well. These days, I'm not so sanguine about their prospects; nevertheless, I'm not going to write them off -- I'm willing to consider entering a story of mine at some point in the future.
