Well, my main thought on fan art was simply that if someone DOES happen to do a fan art piece that would give them a lot more points on MWS based on the art scale than even placing in a contest would...perhaps they should be allowed to submit the piece to MWS for more points then? I'm not an expert on fan art, but I do know that was something of an issue on one of the past challenges featuring it--and hopefully a balance can be made between all of the fan-works submissions and how much points they might get in comparison between MWS and the challenges if someone really does do something that would in the general fan works submissions garner them a lot more points. *is unsure if that even made sense and will be shutting up now, lolz*

And I do also see Sai's point about the shorter fiction and poetry writing contests perhaps needing to garner more points as well. I know I didn't even submit to quite a few of them because I find writing smaller fiction pieces and poetry in particular exceedingly difficult...and I really do have to give my hat off to those who are that insanely creative. I hope there is a way to maybe showcase more of an appreciation for that kind of skill with writing in terms of point-earning. :D
