I will let the poll run for a week, but so far the trend looks clear. Most seem to think that it's a bit much currently and some seem to think it is okay as it is. I will extend the writing period for the next contest from three weeks to a month then, I think.

@Vela Nanashi I'm all for community based prompts and others organizing contests as well. I asked for someone else to organize a contest in my place in the past but when ultimately nothing happened I started the Gang Rape Galore contest. Even the organization of the German contest I had to partially take over. But I'm more than happy to have contests on the forum that are organized by someone else. I would of course help with the announcement and tag for the contest.

A good idea, I suppose, to catch the start of September... Even with that month being my personal August. :D

A week later, I thank @Vela Nanashi for her answer... and deplore the near-absence of feedback regarding the knockout tournament. :P
