When it comes to the point scales, I now know it takes me a lot less time to write 50 points worth of fanfiction than it does to make 50 points worth of icons. The former can be done in a day, and the latter... well, it did take me nearly all month to finish those 22 Tarot icons.
However, I can't really say "more points for icons!" since I could make 25 in a few minutes if I just cropped images and didn't play around with them forever. Maybe I'm just slow is the real problem XD It would be both tedious and difficult to judge them on a "complex" scale similar to the wallpapers, and I don't think anything is particularly wrong with the fanfiction scale. (If someone can write 10,000+ words, they deserve a shitload of points XD) So, in short, I find it a bit inconsistent, but am not sure if it's possible to do anything about that.
[Edit: Ah, I forgot to mention... The reason I voted for "too few placings" for the ultima_arena contests is mainly for the ones that took up a whole month and only had two winners at the end. I'm fine with all of the others, and while I can see it from there "there's not as many entries" perspective, one more slot didn't seem to like too much? For instance, I wanted to vote for three entries in the long fic contest anyway.]
