I liked the Merriweather Awards. A few things did concern me at first, but, at the end of the day, I had nothing to lose by submitting a story. So I did, and the scoresheet I received was very interesting.
I am indeed looking forward to the next cycle of submissions. And I'm glad the K-comm doesn't regard the Merriweathers as competition. It's two different kinds of awards, each one with its own philosophy.
See ya,

EDIT: I just caught up with the thread on the Fanfic Related section and saw there have been problems. I saw things I didn't like
But yet, my experience was great, and I want to believe that all problems will be solved soon. (I'd have more to say about it, but I have class... See ya.)
