I think the current wordcount fic system works, but I might suggest an overhaul for shorter works, like poetry or drabbles. Maybe make all fanworks have a minimum point worth, like 10 or something? I know my husband, [info]zydoxis, was kinda put off by the wordcount system when he posted those two extra limericks, since he'd only be getting like 5 points for the pair.

sunflower_mynah suggested the same thing to me at the beginning of the game... and I didn't listen to her. orz But yeah, now I agree -- it sounds like having a separate poetry scale and some kind of boost for short fics would be a good idea.

And I would definitely make comm-linking required next time. I think the Mage team suffered a bit for being the only unlinked alliance.

Yeah, it was hard to predict how the comm-linking would turn out. Now we have a better idea!

And thanks! :D
