Yeah, I could see soldiers and dragoons merging (perhaps calling this class the 'warrior' class) without major hiccoughs. Thing is, it should be up to the members of those classes.
The Monk class members doing reapps... I myself would be fine with this scenario, though I cannot speak for the other members of this class.
As for drabble/shortfic/poetry ratings, they definitely need more weight. I'd even say true drabbles and poems get 20 points as a base, and shortfic (500-1000) getting minimum point earnings too, because length is no indication of the effort put into the piece. Just because I can write 2000 words in the time it takes another to write and refine a drabble shouldn't mean my stuff is worth more just by virtue of wordcount.
So true drabbles/poems etc should get a better weighting.
