I'm chuffed you think the idea has some legs, lads, and would get behind it should something ever come to fruition. I posted the letter on a few other boards to get some reactions and surprisingly the comments have been quite negative, so it's nice to get some home-grown support.

But, that might seem a little arrogant, so this letter seems much more professional.
The main force behind the idea is simply to try and level the playing field and give writers an avenue to promote their own work. There's top-notch fan fiction out there that needs a bigger audience, and if the competition help get it read, then all the better.
